It was a day of high drama at Ellen road in Cahertymore today as the agents pressed management about their new non soup policy. To date only 3 players have renewed their contract with the historic club. Their identity remains a mystery but sources close to the club say that they are not loyal drinkers in Laffs.
The origin of this story owes its roots to last seasons Christmas party. There was none. The players demanded their Christmas soup but management simply refused to entertain the player stating that their 'playboy and soup lifestyle must end'. Players decided to take revenge and not turn up for training. Some players were so upset with the situation that they decided not to even turn up for the thousands of loyal fans at matches. On two occasions at the end of last season the team could only field 9 men and one girl (Mrs. Duignan).
To make matters worse the new signings promised have failed to materialise, the latest falling victim to the dreaded 25 syndrome which has taken too many in its time.
It certainly promises to be an interesting few days at Ellend Road and fans should flock to the new stadium to saviour the atmosphere and take in the excitement. You can be sure it will be the only entrainment on show there this season.
