Default GAC or GFS
I was looking to order some materials off a new site I have found - Glasgow Field Sports. But then I noticed that the address is the same as that for GAC. Is this just a rebadge or has there been a real change?

Looks like just another division of GAC even the style of the web pages.

GAC has about three different shops-one specializes in coarse fishing in Chatham, Kent I believe. I think they want to be a EU version of Cabelas or Bass Pro Shops in the USA. Unfortuantely they'll have to improve their customer services a lot if they are...!

I'm only after a few bits and pieces, so I'll give them a go and see if they've improved. Results to be posted at a later date.

Hi Gander, are you near Kirkcaldy? As Fife Field sports has been taken over and is an excellent shop now with all the right brands and plenty of it. Definitely worth visiting I have no affiliation but the few times I've been in they couldn't have been more helpful. Jon

Yes, I'm in Kirkcaldy. I'll have to pop in and see what they've got. I'm assuming they are still up behind Asda?
