I remember going here when I was about 16 to get fully decked out for the new cricket season, and I…read moreremember that they had everything I needed in terms of cricketing equipment. A selection of bats (from low end to high end), batting pads in all shapes, sizes and weights, and a similarly wide variety of gloves and the now essential helmets. I also remember that they were willing to advise me in terms of exactly what I was looking for and how much I was willing to pay, and I clearly remember that they knocked 10% off the total price because I told them which team I played for. So I went back in last week, and gladly, nothing seems to have changed. I'll remember this place if I ever take up cricket again.

This is a proper sports shop, not like the sport shops in town that just stock the latest fashion…read moreitems. This is what a sports shop should be. It stocks a fantastic selection of cricket equipment all year round, along with all other sports equipment. One of the major pulls of this shop is that PC Sports is the official outlet for all the local schools where you can purchase all school uniforms and accessories. A great shop on Yeadon High Street, with excellent, friendly and knowlegable staff. Well worth a stop by.

This is a handy place to visit in Otley for the more sporty customer, being as this shop…read morespecialises in sportswear and sporting gear. I can't say that it's the kind of place that bowls me over with excitement, but then I'm not the most preppy of people, and despite enjoying a good country walk I wouldn't be first in line to volunteer for a work football team for example! Nevertheless, I appreciate that not everyone has the lazy disposition that I am blessed with and that there are plenty of people out there with sporting needs and desires. For those healthy types in Otley, there is J R Sports. It differs from its neighbour, Rock One, mostly on the basis that this shop sells more sports oriented gear as opposed to more hiking and outdoors gear, though for a noob like me there is little distinction! However, they've some really reasonable prices on their specialist gear so it's really not bad to browse in. As well as any kind of work out style gear this shop also does trophies and engraving, which is great for local sports events, and it does printing and embroidering - perfect again for local sports teams and matches! An all round winner in the arena of sportly gear!

This is one of the many shops like these in the UK and one which specialises in running…read more It has a massive selection of different styles of running trainers, clothing for men and women. I like going to this place for my sportswear because it is a lot cheaper than other sports stores like JD or JJB. They have major sports brands here like Adidas, Nike and Reebok so you know you are getting good quality stuff. This shop has been running for over 36 years so you know it is a good place. The staff are excellent here and will help you in whatever you are looking for. In particular running shoes to suit your shape etc. Take a look at their website for more information and to order goods too.

It's called Run North West now btw. Excellent service which…read moreyou just don't get off the internet. Went to the trouble of getting the right size for my daughter. Was £1 more expensive than the cheapest on eBay, no brainier really. Highly recommended

This is pretty much your average Sports Direct store, located in the outdoor part of Victoria…read moreShopping Centre in Harrogate's town centre (Cambridge Street), the store is located downstairs in a sort of basement, so don't expect to get a phone signal inside the store, after heading down the escalators. The store is reasonably stocked with a range of clothing and trainers, yet it still feels rather cramped, it feels like they tried to fit in too much stock for the space, which means the store can feel a little messy and unpleasant. There was a small selection of football jerseys from the England national team in stock, ahead of the World Cup, there didn't seem to be any club jerseys though which is strange. There is also a "GAME" unit in this store, which has a selection of video games - again it seems more and more common for GAME stores to be closing and re-locating inside Sports Direct locations, due to them sharing the same parent company, Frasers Group. 3* - Pretty much your average Sports Direct store, very cluttered, with a decent selection of footwear, and an OK selection of clothing while not being too easy on the eye.

I absolutely hate this store! The shop is cluttered and unordered, and it is almost impossible to…read morefind anything you want quickly. Many items are hung up on the walls, and the top shelves are impossible to reach without the use of a ladder, meaning you have to ask the assistent if you want to look at anything up there. What a hassle! The changing rooms are locked, and you have to ask for a key to get it unlocked, and once you're in there the doors are so small that anyone walking past can easily see over the top. Furthermore, there is often loud music playing, and the air is very pressurised, meaning that within 5 minutes you have a raging headache and feel like you're going to faint. Urgh, absolutley awful! The only reason I have given this store two stars instead of one is because I have often found fairly cheap trainers there in the past. Other then that, trust medon't even go near the place!

Now I'm no rugby player, (I know it's hard to believe, the beef cake that I am) but if I was I…read morewould probably go to Bulldog Sports Co for my rugby shirts. They have a wide range of sports wear brands and will also customise any team or corporate wear for your needs. They provide services for the likes of BBC, Newcastle Falcons and The Leeds Rhinos. I have heard that The Leeds Rhinos are what some would call 'metrosexual' and like to look good, so I'm sure this place does a good job. The staff are typical macho sport fans but are nice as pie...(mm..pie) and as well as making and selling sportswear they also do trophies.

Though it caters especially to, triathletes, Triangle is obviously similarly popular with what I…read morelike to call monathletes - the less super-human of us who only really participate in one sport. Of course, if you're going to Triangle, your sport needs to be swimming, cycling or running (in chronological triathlon order I believe), and if you do regularly engage in one of these sports it is definitely worth popping down here. For hard-core triathlon-loving folk, they sell specially designed modern tri-suits, for aquatic people swimming gear and goggles and for those tireless joggers running shoes and heart rate monitors. But it is the cycling aspect of the business which is undeniably the strongest, as they sell a large selection of performance bikes, cycling shoes and clothing, mileometers and other gadgets, and bike repair parts. I went with my dad to get his old road-bike fixed and they had it back to us in a couple of days for what my dad says was a pretty cheap repair cost. If you're unsure about this shop, just tri it. You'll love it.
