I know he started as a volunteer - when I saw this is kind of hoped that by the end there was some money slipped into his paw - but knowing UR probably not.ColinM wrote:The old one was a volunteer I believe.

My understanding was that he had asked for some remuneration but did not get it.

I wonder when Sparky got the new suit did Cornerflag or UR for that matter register ownership of the sparky image? If not there could yet be a chance for the bear to get something from the deal.big mervyn wrote:My understanding was that he had asked for some remuneration but did not get it.

Actually the position has already been earmarked for Leo the lions understudy.
Hold on. He's going to Munster to shadow the stag but Sean Cronin is available!

Re: They want free video analysts but will pay for Bear!
I always disliked Sparky more than the band. I could never take him seriously after he exposed us to ridicule at Twickinghouse 2012 when Leo turned up in rugby boots & creased him in the kicking competition.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
