What retailers have been stocking them? Most UK retailers washed their hands of Spartan 2 or 3 years ago.

That article is interesting, but suggests they're still operating under a slightly different name having been restructured to ditch the holding company.

Has anything changed?  Or are they still up and running?  Also, has Joe Burns signed a bat deal elsewhere?

Looks like he's gone to Gray Nicolls. Most recent picture on his Instagram is this:

Pics of him playing for Glammy in t20 with a GN stick this season on there as well.

Joe Burns with Grays now.

the owner of Spartan seems like a joke, just wants to be a big gun hanging around with Chris Gayle.

Have heard a few times from different people that Bairstow is yet to receive a penny from them

^ That ought to teach him a lesson. All he had to do was google it or check the cbf forum.
