    Just about to buy some new football boots for the coming season, and unfortunately Sports Direct is the cheapest place to buy them, being a Newcastle fan, i would rather pay over the odds on ProdirectSoccer than give any of my not very hard earned cash to fat Mike. Anyone any ideas?

    Fair enough, I can let that slide.

    Just buy them wherever they're cheapest, your £20-£50, or lack thereof, won't make the slightest difference to him or his business.

    If paying over the odds makes you feel better then go ahead, I'd rather have the extra money in my wallet than make a futile gesture and be worse off myself for it.

    Erm depending on where you are there's an Adidas store in Dalton Park (dunno if there's a one in Royal Quays), but they've generally been spot on for the latest Predators in the past. Normally a bit cheaper than the high street/on par with Sports Direct.

    Just my opinion! Wouldnt want to give any amount of MY money to him, whether indirectly or not!

    The Adidas store in Dalton Park looks like a good bet!
