Wrong sort of dirty!

Who am i going to return my gore tex lifetime guarantee leathers to when they leak now!!

Apparently they are only giving 10% or 20% discount on current stock.Certain suppliers have withdrawn stock[Sale and return]
Staff are waiting to find out on the 6th what the final outcome will be so then might be the time to get a bargain
Scuberth C3 still over £400 and considering it is being replaced next year not that cheap.
I will look in again on the 6th.

The receivers will surely want to make as much money as possible so won't allow silly discounting yet.

And I imagine most of the 3rd party stock will be sale or return.

If they are only closing UK stores then I guess the rest of the HG own brand may end up shipped to other stores in Europe.

Just got this in an email

My mate told me about this yesterday and couldn't believe it!

I will have to plan a trip up there

I just went to one, the deals are pretty ****e. 30% off accessories, 10% off helmets, 20% off gloves and jackets. They don't even match the prices George White was selling at BEFORE it also went into administration.

I went today to use my £10 voucher + Free £10 for getting a Hein Gericke card, and reducing the price of some gloves from £35 to £15. These have both been abolished, and I only had the option of 20% off (the assistants can change nothing, not put the price up, nor down). Most of the other people in there were mumbling about there not actually being any deals better than before. Perhaps worth a visit if you're keen on 20% or 10% off some stuff, but I'm going to stick to looking online after what I've seen.

Maybe tis best as DT says and leave it til the 6th before you go hunting for bargains.
