Only ask as I hear that Airdrie are in a sticky wicket situation.
The 'wicket' is the area on a cricket pitch between the stumps (the stumps are the wee sticks at either end of the wicket) A 'sticky' wicket will allow more action to be put on the ball by the bowler, hence it is a rather more dangerous place to be for the batsman.
I am sorry that "Airdrieonians FC" are in trouble.
Tell me - why was is not just the company that went out of business back in '02?
