I want to know how they carried it upstairs in the old gillingham shop got my first ever bat from there

Do you ever remember there being a 10 ft gray nics scoop in the shop?

Similar to this one we found in the depths of your workshop Matt?

Gutted when I closed it, they had some top class kit in there. Considering Birmingham is such a big city there is a distinct lack of choice within an hours drive.

Dave I Didn't realised they had closed it was at Edgebaston this time last year as we reached the national indoor league semi finals i can see now why they were selling  bits of kit from the indoor nets.

Think so , a Hubble and freeman I reckon

Hi Matt,

I don't remember seeing it at H&A in Gillingham (as Simon said, there's no way it would have gone up the stairs!), but it may well have been in H&F in Maidstone. A thing of beauty though!

got most of my kit from owzat until i found the forum but my first bat and most of my first set of kit was from a little shop in chesterfield - moss and miller - run by Ernie Moss (former footballer) and Geoff Miller, was a joint football and cricket shop cant say much about it or remember much about it to be honest

I used to frequent Sportscraft, Penrith like a few before me. Could literally spend all day in there picking up every bat and waving it around and Dickie would not care if you bought anything or not (never happened once), as long as you had a craic with him about the game, great chap and a sad day when he retired and shut up shop.

How many of these places are left? Or at least not shadows of their former selves.

In my example, Martin B seems to be plugging away as much as ever but 3D sports are gone, gone, gone

Many are gone, sadly, but VKS remains! I should pay them a visit to take a trip further down memory lane.
