not recently, but have done in the past. i think there may be knocking about close season when all the retailers try and get rid of all their old stock (SD will buy it all at a reduced cost in bulk)

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

The shops I've been in only sell the cheap bats, but the shops look like a tip.

I went yesterday. You have to ask to see them, as they keep them in their storeroom, as they claim many people steal them. They had some nice gn in the region of £120

it wont be the case for every store... not the case for either cribbs or broadmead, they only keep the top nike vapors in the office.
In areas considered to be higher in thefty rates they may well store them away...

p.s. the bristol ones are always filled with crap bats, never anything good!

Yeah Gray Nicolls seems to be the best bats at Sports Direct in Bristol. Going to Cabot soon so will have a browse at the stuff in there, maybe nick a deal on gloves.
