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.

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.

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.

Ellis Brigham is located in Castlefield and sells equipment for outdoor sports. Although it covers…read moregear for climbing, hiking etc; it's main stock is Ski and Snowboard equipment. It sells everything from Skis and Ski boots to gloves, scarfs and hats. Ellis Brigham only stocks the most high quality brands and names such as The North Face, Solomon etc and for this reason is not cheap. It has a Ski boot fitting service where they will heat mould your ski boots to your feet; something every goos skier should have done. If Ski gear is what you're after and you know a lot about Skiing then here is your place. If your a first timer on the slopes it probaly isn't worth the investment of your time or money.

Nothing is too much trouble! I admit that I tend to go to Ellis Brigham off season in order to miss the crowds in January / February.

The shop is split in to the different sport activities to make it easy to navigate round but its worth looking what is available down other aisles. There is a large range of sporting equipment and clothing under each activity. The goods are of a good quality at a reasonable price and they sometimes have some brands in as recently a got some Solomon trainers which were £30 dearer elsewhere. It's easy to go mad and buy items you didn't go in for but at them prices you don't mind as much. It's great just to see what they have and give ideas for getting active, anyone for Frisbee? (Maybe not in windy conditions). This shop is great, the staff are friendly too and helpful but are happy enough to let you wonder round.

The store itself is massive, with plenty of free parking and is also in an easy location to visit via public transport. I've purchased a variety of items here, from football socks to camping gear.

To add to what the above reviewer Amy P has said, 'Go Outdoors' ' building does little to inspire…read morethe potential outdoor enthusiast, however some absolute bargains can be found, precisely because they can shift large volumes of goods.It is especially good for those on a tight budget, and I believe that family camping costs should be kept down. Originally called "Mitchells', 'Go Outdoors' is situated on the outskirts of Wakefield near to the National Mining Museum on the way to Huddersfield.The business and building was bought by Go Outdoors some 7 years ago and has thankfully improved vastly, with fresher product ranges and a fresher image although sadly trailer tents are no longer on display. A large outdoor grassed section enables tents to be demoed realistically, allowing the potential purchaser to just see exactly what a particular tent will feel like when they actually erect it and to see plain as day just what they will be getting for their money. From cheap festival tents to budget family tents that will sleep 5, to high performance technical tents for expedition and mountaineering use you will find a lot here. Inside there is a large range of clothing, hiking boots and equipment, rucksacks, sleeping bags etc etc as well as camp-craft products. There is everything you will ever need in here, from caravanning products to festival essentials. Big, reliable and 'designer' walking and tent brands are available at discount prices if you make a small investment in the form of a yearly-renewable membership card costing the princely sum of a whole english £4. It's worthwhile if you intend to buy a range of items in one go or intend to shop regularly here. There is also a 'Go Outdoors' own brand which is suited to those on a budget. I managed to grab an own-branded 'Gobi 4' 2 season tent in a sale which was an absolute bargain given its construction and features. The features of the tent would have been seen on a higher priced tent costing 4 times as much a few years ago such as blanket flooring, sealed seams and mud flaps. Although only a tent at the end of the day, it manages to make the camping experience just that little bit better. The quality of stitching and materials was superb and if you wait till the end of the season you can pick it up for 100 notes. I would definitely recommend this place as the own-branded -'Hi-gear' is pretty good value for the money. I've not had any problems when selecting some walking boots as the attendants did seem well-trained and knowledgable without ever being condescending or overtly 'selling.' I'd definitely recommend this place. It could benefit perhaps from a small cafe to allow people to discuss potential purchases and a bit more light towards the rear of the building, but then again this building has been here for over 40 years now.

If the answer to all of the above questions is yes, then you really are going to like Dainese a lot. Dainese sell jackets and trousers that are leather but are all modern and actually quite good looking at the same time. There is some serious biking gear in here and plenty of staff to help you with any questions you might have. They also stock a range of baffling (to me at least) protective devices for your back, knees and things like that. They're meant to stop you getting too hurt when you fly off your bike going at a ridiculous speed around a corner in the Lake District.

So, I used to ask all the time if any of my friends want a new helmet, or a new little thing for their bikes. Actually, because I was going in here so many times, at some point the owner came to me and asked me few questions. That was the point when I've asked if they need extra staff. Well, in exchange he said that I need to know quite a lot about bikes, stuff, and I left him quite surprised. Anyway, it didn't happen in the end. I got a different job meanwhile. But still, for the sake of it, sometimes I still go in there, happy like a little bunny. One day, I'm going to buy lots and lots of stuff from that shop. It's to dear to me, and too cool to be ignored.

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.

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!
