Alternatives to JD and Sports Direct

[Super ally 90]

With JD now partnering up with them is their any other high street sports retailer out there to buy from? As someone with 3 kids would be a good help if there is any. I'd sooner go to JD than Sport Direct though.

 

[NDC bear forever]

I’ll still be using JD. Don’t care if I lose staunch points

 

[coplandrearl36]

Possibly Greaves, Glasgow.

Shop where you want... you will still be allowed to watch the mighty Rangers either way.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Greaves.

 

[Clay Davis]

As long as your not buying celtic stuff does it really matter to you if you buy stuff from jd sports ffs?

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Now that we have cut ties with ashley, I'd say its fine to shop in JD. But sports direct? Just cant being myself to step foot in there ever again.

 

[Renfrew@UKGB&NI]

To start boycotting shops is nat behaviour. Shop where's best and handy for you.

Can’t see many really boycotting JD especially as they own a few other places.

As long as you aren’t buying Celtic gear then no harms actually being done?

What

 

[Tpol_rfc]

I absolutely see the force of not using sports direct but each to their own. Though with the list of all other potential places to avoid it just gets silly.

 

[bearspakora]

Personal choice, but I try to avoid Celtc* sponsors or associates if I can help it.

Same here, each to their own.

If it works for you, do it.

 

[Jmacca1975]

DW, Decathlon

 

[Kaba]

DW Sports and then you can help Wigan out of admin too. 2 birds with 1 stone

 

[Boabski Bluenose]

Greaves.

Defo. Support your local shops

 

[TN8]

What's the script with JD?

 

[bearspakora]

If it works for you, do it.

JD Sports can sponsor a club synonymous with gruesome criminal acts against countless young people if they want. They have no moral conscience or compass.

 

[ZvP]

Shop wherever you like. The value of losing your custom to JD Sports is so negligible that the only person you're hindering is yourself by limiting the consumer options open to you and your family. Jd Sports are even larger than Sports Direct with stores all over Europe.

 

[CR5]

What's the script with JD?

They're just Celtic's official retail partner.

Buying non-Celtic stuff from JD won't benefit that lot at all

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

If you’re that bothered by it you can still get cheap sports stuff on the likes of amazon and asos.

 

[nybear]

DWsports is still there and depending what your looking for go direct online. Surprised jd has did this

 

[BucksBear]

what is this tie up?

 

[supersonic]

Elite

 

[SE5]

DW, Decathlon

What do you buy in Decathlon?

 

[Barryhopez]

These type of threads are humorous!

Oh ok. Does that mean they won't be selling Rangers gear?

 

[CR5]

I doubt that will be the case tbh, JJB and SD(I know!) both sold Celtic stuff while being partnered to us

 

[Super ally 90]

I thought Celtic would get a cut of sports gear sold in their shops at least indirectly. Also chances are there are mentally challengeds high up in that organisation, Celtic fans or not.

 

[Ibrox Aggro]

I hope we give it to greaves, a superb independent shop. And gers friendly... f uck jd sports.....

JD had a deal in place to be our official retail partner before Ashley blocked it.

Celtic won't get a cut of anything non Celtic branded

 

[Dave Angell]

What do you buy in Decathlon?

Basketball rings. Bows & arrows. Canoes. Just your regular stuff ....

 

[Now and forever]

I’ll still be using JD. Don’t care if I lose staunch points

So will the vast majority.

It's all wind and piss to post on the forum. In reality no dent will be made on any multi national company that partners us or them.

Spot on...and JD have allways stocked mentally challenged tat

JD is a good store just don't buy Tim gear. The high street is on its arse and decent shops should be used not boycotted.

Now if they start plastering their frontage with PaedoApparel then thats a different matter

 

[TJ Newton 76]

That’s just daft.
Do you think the Scum avoid shower gels etc from Molton Brown

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Are people honestly saying they avoid anyone who sponsors the mhanks ?
what about Sky, BT sports, Coca Cola, these companies sponsor both clubs. I seen the point of the SD boycott cos he was a lady's front bottom who tried his best to kill our club and ripped us off but the rest don’t see why you would.

I use none of these companies, never did in the first place truth be told.

But for example, I've been looking at running gear lately and some new balance stuff came up quite cheap. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole as people might think i'm a mentally challenged wearing that stuff as for the past 3-4 years the only people wearing new balance in Scotland are the nonces.

Do you think the mentally challengeds avoid products and business that are involved with us? You bet your bottom dollar they do. Probably email and phone them day and night to let them know that sevco didnt pay a face painter and used EBTs.

 

[Jmacca1975]

What do you buy in Decathlon?

Funnily enough sports stuff, as the OP asked for

 

[UnionCruiser72]

Most companies take advantage of slave labour in the Far East and take advantage of people on low pay for their clothing and people turn a blind eye but as soon as celtic are involved they act all righteous.

 

[Donnybear]

That’s just daft.

It's well known they don't soap or shower gel

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

I really can’t believe people are going to stop using JD because they are partners with the mentally challengeds.

How sad is that?

 

[Chopper]

Tesco sell timothy cakes? You want to boycott them too?

Same logic.

 

[GimmeShelter]

Nonsense boycotting companies for this, I'm more concerned about where our presence will be on the High Street.

Who will be stocking our kits?

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Aye, and our priorities are right.

On the other hand, you need your moral compass recalibrated

 

[UnionCruiser72]

None of that makes any sense, I was merely highlighting hypocrisy.

 

[The Barcelona Bear]

I'll just have to give up on my sporting activities

That is the real issue that needs addressed.

Not the garbage some are banging on about trying to get brownie points.

 

[Morpheus]

I remember when we had the deal with JJB.

Went down the escalator in the Sauchiehall St branch, only to be with, smack bang in the middle of the shop, the tims section. Couldn't believe it was the first thing to be seen. Our section was away in a corner.

Buy the new top in JD all you like.

You’re 55 years old mate

 

[Super ally 90]

You’re 55 years old mate

Don't want anyone that partners with people that abuse children. I don't see how that's shocking.
