I was going to say Lorimers, very close to you by the sounds of it? Plenty of quality stock and I'm sure he'll find something to his liking.  They also seem to sell older model bats off cheaply so could possibly pick up a bargain?

Was that the Intersport?  If so I called in by chance while on holiday once.  Good shop, picked up some Adidas batting gloves if I remember rightly.

Just got back from lorimers tried out a few bats which was good as he now doesn't like the gm six6 he is now leaning towards a gn classics players but he still wants to try out a M&H 09 so come the end of the month when Santa gets paid we will order both bats for him to try and take it from there.

Yes got in touch with just sport they have no m@h in stock so to keep Jnr happy going to have to contact a good online shop and order one for him to hold and test personally I think he will go with the gn but he does like to be different and stand out.

I'm surprised they sold any, last time I was in they were lying about in the corner like someone had been using them as bowling pins with £375 price tags on!!

You could say that about most of their stock,my wife wont go in she says its a health hazard which is a shame because they could have a much better set up and people would have a much better chance of finding what they want,I don't  know anyone who does not comment on the state of the shop.

There is a very nice M&H 09 on ebay at the moment from a very reputable source!

They used to have a very good shop on North Road in Durham in the 90's, nothing like the newcastle shop

If we get both bats from the online shop I can send back the one he doesn't want and get a full refund,which makes just sport not being a great cricket shop frustrating as it would be much easier going there and him having a good choice to chose from but I'm  Sure he will get the bat that suits him and he likes,just a bit of a pain to have to go to this length to get a cricket bat,but if he gets runs next season it will be worth.

Understand where you are coming from there's no decent cricket shop near me either as  you say  it's so frustrating.
