Land Rovers Chairman Dean Rossiter (right) announced this afternoon that the club had reneged on its earlier promise to go 100% electronic and replace the entire squad with robots. The move to a completely robotic team would have been the first time in the world that this had been achieved by an indoor team, with only Chelsea having produced a robotic team in the outdoor game. "We value out people as they are our greatest resource" said Rossiter "and as it turned out the costs of buying robots was outside our current budget unless we got a rich Russian backer".Land Rovers Manager Steve Hall said the boys had earned their reprieve after winning the Championship. "Let's face it you wouldn't get the entertainment value from the robot that you get from Charlie Smith" said Hall "although a robotic referee has merit after watching the Team Wellington game on Sunday". Hall said the announcement of a rival LINZ indoor club called Toitu Te Whenua would keep Rovers on their toes as poaching of players was now a likely factor in team selection. "We're really hoping their will be a local derby so we can show them some championship winning football" confessed Hall.

Why is Mark 'Chopper' Reed pictured on your website? Is that motivational? Did he threaten violence if the lads didn't win the final?
Those poor boys....maybe Mrs Smith will invite them all round for a cuddle!
