You're in luck Rooster. The season for stags ends on April 30th. Might be prudent to check the Aviva's regulations regarding firearms first though.

I have my doubts about that "stag". Where's his antlers? He looks more like ..... a bear.

I told the wife-to-be "I am having a stag-do".
She replied "What's a stag-do?"
"Support a losing rugby team" said I.

There is a bit of growth on the top of his head, could be the antlers :?
Looks a bit fat on it though so not sure what streaky venison tastes like, anyway didn't read anything in the rules about firearms, just rambled about flegs (then again never read any of that either)

I heard that Sparky is currently at a secret training camp in preparation for Saturday and I believe ERC rules do allow him access to the field at certain times. So fans of the bear will not be disappointed.

They seek him here they seek him there
They seek our Sparky everywhere
This week at Ravers he won't be found
The Aviva will be his stomping ground

Well Rooster. No sign of the steg yesterday - Is Flinty's head hanging over your mantelpiece?

Thought our furry mammal was on good form yesterday. Strutting about the park as if he owned it - which of course we did. Even appeared to be sporting official creditation complete with lanyard no less :lol:
