We put the Limited in Gravytrain Limited FC!

July 30, 2007

Gravytrain Limited FC commented on their growing concern surrounding their lack of fit players. Assistant manager Rich Bunce had this to say: “We are very concerned”.

Due to recent injury, Kevin and Andrew are unable to play – Andrew has torn a ligament in his ankle and Kevin forgot to take his cod-liver oil tablets. Theses two semi-crucial players could be out for a further 3 weeks. Also on the list of unavailable players is Simon Gersh who is still waiting for his work permit to arrive despite numerous attempts by Gravytrain Limited  FC to contact the Kazakhstani company that own him; Nick L who is out on location shooting ‘Fist Of Fury 2′; And finally, Steve Slade who is currently AWOL but rumours say he has a note.

This week Gravytrain Limited  have a total of 4 players available and are in need of a least 1 more to complete their 5-a-side team. Will they have to forfeit the game? Stay glued to the official Gravytrain Limited  FC blog site for further updates!

Gravytrain limited sack injured Andrew

July 27, 2007

Following last week’s shock injury to top Gravytrain Limited  fc goalkeeper, George McGrant, the team was struck another blow to their squad. Andrew Willis, Gravytrain Limited FC most prolific waterbottle carrier tore the ligament in his finger when he was ordered to code faster. Sources say that it was the immense pressure of having to perform on match day for Gravytrain Limited FC coupled with the physical struggle of increasing the pace of coding that brought about his injury. Andrew, who was looking forward to representing his country at the waterbottle carrying olympics had this to say: ”You’d better scatter and run! the battle’s lost and not won”. We’re not sure exactly what Andrew was referring to but he was listening to Iron Maiden on his ipod at the time of the statement.

Gravytrain Limited  FC refused to comment on the injury that befell Señor Willis for a few days. Earlier today they gave this press release: “Gravytrain Limited FC has had no choice but to dismiss the Iron maiden loving bottle carrier due to his poor sense of style. ” We asked the chairman, Mr K Tayla, if he could elaborate…. He simply said: “Did you see what he was wearing!?” – We believe that the Gravytrain Limited  FC chairman was referring to the monocle he wore to the press conference.

gravytrain limited FC – 24/07/07

July 25, 2007

Unfortunately this week the Gravytrain Limited  fc football match was cancelled due to the recent bad weather. The opposition, Oxford-under-thames United, were unable to attend the match and were reported to have drowned their sorrows at the nearest watering hole: The Soaked Bishop. The opposition had allegedly taken the day off to discuss tactics before the match. The captain, Marti Pellow, looked out of the first floor window of the local pub and it suddenly dawned on him that his dreams of playing against the legendary Gravytrain Limited FC had been washed up.
