Northampton's high street lost another branded retailer last week with the closure of GAME in the Drapery.
It comes after its parent company, Game Digital Ltd, was taken over in July this year by Sports Direct tycoon Mike Ashley, who ordered an immediate review of all 500 stores across the UK and Spain.
