Thanks Norman
Re: Farewell ......... SPARKY
Feck me pink. How low are they gonna go to shift tickets for this game. Using Sparky’s good name isn’t so much scraping the bottom of the barrel , it’s right through the bottom and dredging up the filth from the bottom of the swamp we’re sinking into.
His feckin lightbulbs are overpriced and I will no longer feel obligated to buy them there.
Next they’ll be telling us the band have packed it in...
Fingers crossed.

No such luck Tenders. ST sales to date indicate that there will be room for an orchestra.Tender wrote:Feck me pink. How low are they gonna go to shift tickets for this game.

Sorry Russ. Stars was an auto censor. Apparently s.gum isn’t allowed.
New season tickets for Stand seats don’t go on sale until the middle of May, as I was informed by a family member. The end of May would be a good time to take stock of numbers, although I'd have no idea how we’d find out.

For our younger readers, Norman Pollack is Sparky’s keeper. Although Sparky is a very Tame bear, bears are still dangerous animals and as such they require a keeper, just like all those lovely creatures we can see locked up in very small cages in Belfast Zoo (for your entertainment).
So with Uncle Norman now retiring, Sparky will be going into hibernation until a new keeper can be found (ar$ed) to bring him to home games and deliver what few season tickets get renewed .
Sparky shares his hibernation with The Easter Bunny and Satan’s little helpers.

Re: Farewell ......... SPARKY
In times of trouble you were there
when we roared, you led the way.
Your outfit changed but still the bear
your heart, still big and caring is what we say.
For all the waves and press ups we cheered
Sparky our mascot, our fortress king!
Others visited and left for it was him they feared
the energy undying, his drum loud and beating.
Now its time to say adieu
for all you’ve done, near and far.
From the old, the new, the young, we the Ulster few
all salute our Norman a Ravenhill star.
Good luck bud

Ever since his head dropped off a few years ago, I think most of the wains sussed out Sparky wasn't a real bear. Once they'd got over the trauma that is.
