Ha ha! Was just going to ask f there is some super-duper sale on there atm or something. Why all the haterz?

Laquila · 22/10/2015 20:34

It's just one person, bumping loads of old threads by cutting and pasting her original complaint. I've lost all sympathy!

lostinabook · 22/10/2015 20:34

Ha ha I was just going to post the same!

What would I do without those giant mugs?!

bluesbaby · 22/10/2015 20:34

Is it all the same poster?? There's so many posts!

123Jump · 22/10/2015 20:34

Particularly strange as I don't ever recall it being the subject of a thread before. Now so many of them. Thought I might be missing out on something,Grin.
Apparently not.

I love Sports Direct, they've got amazing deals on footwear at the moment. Picked up three pairs of the infants Donnay converse for less than what one pair of brand converse would have cost. And DD looks SO CUTE in them.

Sports Direct is one of my favourite shops!

CassieBearRawr · 22/10/2015 20:35

Its just one daft fucker on a rampage. Annoying though.

There's no such thing as bad press.

I'd never heard of them until tonight.

MrsDeathOfRats · 22/10/2015 20:38

Hah. Was thinking the same thing! There seems to be many threads about them tonight!

I love/hate sports direct.
It's great for cheap gear but it is not an enjoyable experience at all.

ghostyslovesheep · 22/10/2015 20:39

shivoncarla has joined MN specifically to bump every fucking thread with SD in the title - which is nice Hmm

nocoolnamesleft · 22/10/2015 20:40

So, basically, sports direct has been invaded by zombies?

RJnomaaaaaargh · 22/10/2015 20:41

Is it a rivalsportswear retailer on a smear campaign? Grin

jorahmormont · 22/10/2015 20:41

Can we start some sports direct threads to lure her in? I want to start a thread called "I LOVE SPORTS DIRECT", just for a bit of balance.

Shutthatdoor · 22/10/2015 20:42

It's like a one person ejit mission

RJnomaaaaaargh · 22/10/2015 20:51

Subtly jorah!

Start a "what's your favourite sportswear retailer" or "best huge mugs for free"? Thread and we will all pile in Grin

UterusUterusGhali · 22/10/2015 20:52

I'm going tomorrow.

Unless I've boycotted them. I can't remember. Blush

CrapBag · 22/10/2015 20:54

Oh bugger. I've fallen for it and posted on her original thread. I was wondering why all the threads all of a sudden. She clearly has too much time on her hands.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 22/10/2015 20:57

they're on my shit list

their shoes and bags are crap and they treat their staff something awful

but mostly because MUGS

MustBeLoopy390 · 22/10/2015 20:59

Huge sports direct fan here! Kids clothing and sportswear is exemplary and also due to my freakishly child sized feet (still fit in a boy's 6/girls 6.5) I can get awesome deals on trainers. Got some gelert walking style ones for £16 recently Grin

DickDewy · 22/10/2015 21:06

I get almost all my gym gear from Sports Direct. No complaints.

pebbletime · 22/10/2015 21:07

I think it is because they don't do refunds.
Just offer a voucher or credit note.
It is pretty poor compared to most stores.
They don't advertise the fact before you pay, either.

PurpleDaisies · 22/10/2015 21:11

Lots of my gym stuff is from there too. It isn't the most amazing shopping experience but it is very cheap.

I really hate zombie threads. I wish there was a warning at the beginning of them, or the date got highlighted after a certain amount of time had passed (maybe a year). Grrr.
