Well producing planks for the consumer market hasn't helped them either ...

Not to my taste but they've got Roy, Rashid, Jimmy using their gear...

Roy may appeal to some, not so much Rashid (probably a more Yorkshireised audience) but he can bat a bit.
I can't imagine Jimmy sells a lot of bats for them though  :D

I have to admit I still love their Pro Tour LE softs...  :(

The shop was called Sportscraft. It closed down in 2013 when the owner got to retirement age and could not find a buyer for the business.

Guys name was Dicky Spruce if my memory serves, top bloke and where all of Cumbria used to buy their bats, I'm sure the other Cumbrian lads on the forum would have too @liscon12 @shamelessshaun

Was always a favourite for a day trip from Scotland also.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

A day out in Sprucies was the best part of the pre-season. Spent many an hour chatting about anything and everything then would always go home with more than I intended but having spent less than I expected to in the first instance. A major shame its shut down.

Also if memory serves me right, Dickie stopped stocking Slazenger in about 2010, although could be mistaken.
