Anyone remember Sportspages the bookshop on Charing Cross Road? I used to love going in there for a browse and maybe buy an obscure sporting book but a few years ago i went there and it had shut down. Anyway i heard they were bought out by a rival and then shut down so the people who worked there set up an online store. The link is below if anyone whats to know how to get hold of them now

Sad day when Sports pages shut down.
I remember back in the day before sky etc...they used to update the scores on a chalk board from the radio.
So if you were in the area you could pop in and get the live updates there and then!

Couldn't you even afford Teletext?

great place for fanzines and good ootball tshirts as well always went in there when i was in london
its closed a couple of years

Bookshops and independent record stores, casualties of the internet, but they can stock far more product with an online store than they could in that shop.

Of course, but it was a bugger to carry the TV with you down the West end.

Brilliant.
