I think the fox's shut and turned into berkentex brides or whatever that shop is. I'd like to see a Hobgoblin or Music Room folk music shop (like in Cleckheaton, L***s and Nottingham)...though I'm sure that wouldn't be the general feeling!!!
And the upstairs of the Forum a pool room?!!! Who thought that one up! When I was little it used to have a circus shop, a bead shop, and all kinds of cool things, now it's home to that stupid boutique, the owners of which obviously weren't thinking of the regular clientele of the forum when they put it there. I like the other shops though (although tbh I don't have much of interest in snowboarding or vinyl), but it needs a circus shop....or a climbing wall, or <insert another stupid unfeasible idea here>! Wow!

There's a Fox's on Angel Street - it's a huge (relatively new) store and there's lots of extremely cool gear within...

Stone Island? why do people buy these things? say on average (guessing from my workmates ) a jumper costs £90. what does it do different to my £5 jumper form primark? will people like me more? will it save me from a pillaging viking? make me a bacon sandwich? and no it isn't made better, i have a t shirt that cost £4 thats lasted way way longer than a workmates £3million designer thingy. do you people judge each other on how much your shirt cost? sad sad people. btw i'm not an old git who's past it, i'm a healthy 24 year old who just cant justify spending £110 on a pair of shoes.
Too right, I'm a 20 year old female and I laugh inside when I hear friends talking about their skirt that cost £65 or how they got this stunning top for £30. They're no richer than me, in fact many are poorer, yet they seem to see it as a necessity to buy expensive piles of cr*ap to wear! Primark is good, although can be a little tacky, but it sells the same stuff as Topshop, Burtons, Miss Selfridge and Dorothy Perkin's at a fraction of the price. In a world where clothes go out of fashion after about a week, why on earth would you spend so much money on one garment?!

Generally I don't think they would be bad for the city centre. There's plenty of room for independant shops in places like Broomhill, people will find them and anyone who comes here to visit won't think "what a dump".*
*Unless they come off the M1 at junction 34 that is.
sorry to disappoint you but C&A closed all their UK stores down about 3 years ago! Most of their old shops were taken over by Primark or catalogue returns shops - d'oh!

Open your eyes mate, there's at least 3 mobile phone shops within a stone's throw of each other, and that's the specialised ones, without mentioning the fact that both Dixons and Virgin Megastore sell mobiles.
There's the Orange shop next to Smiths, the T-Mobile shop next door to that, the O2 shop next to Dixons, Vodafone shop further down next door to the BT shop, and of course The Link directly opposite the Vodafone shop to the left of the entrance to Chapel Walk... How many more do you want eh?
I'm not having a go at you, I'm just pointing out that there are already several shops in the Fargate vicinity that sell mobile phones, so there's not really much call for any more.
Personally I'd like to see more computer game shops down that end, sure as mentioned Virgin and Dixons sell games, and they have a few in Smiths, but really there's only GAME which specialises in the sale of computer and console games, namely the Fargate one and the one at the top of Debenhams down the Moor.
If only they'd kept the big one on the corner of Pinstone St/Barkers Pool open, it was a big shop that, and nearly always packed, especially on a Saturday.

I think that was supposed to be sarcasm.

Theres always GameStation on the Moor. Always got plenty of reasonably priced pre-owned stuff in, and loads of retro games/consoles as well.
