Sir Ian Botham,refuses to climb ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Setanta are running with a story that Sir Ian Botham,will not comentate on Sky,s current cricket coverage (not certain which ground) due to the fact that you have to climb up in excess of 100ft of scaffolding to get to the commentry box !!

I once commentated on Colchester United v Stockport County after climbing onto a garage roof, and then up a 20ft ladder. Carrying broadcasting gear weighing about 30 kilos in a flight case.

Botham, quite frankly, is a f***ing wuss.
