“Pre-game

Cabalvision and S.N.O.T. Sports Management had been struggling to find the right prime time vehicle to maximise Lump's global reach. The latest plan was a guest celebrity-cameo driven light entertainment show. They were working on some features: Grab a Grand (who wouldn't want to see Vima in a perspex box scrabbling round for loose change), LTV (a mischievous hidden camera segment that would let people see the stars like the Sheikh at their most natural), and the Gunk Dunk.

To protect Lump's and the L.A.D.S. sporting brands, he would play a character for the show; Troll 'eadmunch and it was be set in the fictional cavern of Trickly Passage.

There were two main jobs still to do; sort out an oddly coloured fake beard for Lump, and after Clart's refusal find someone to play the chaotic pink and yellow polka-dotted Mr Bauby.

It was no coincidence that the launch was to coincide a blockbuster of a match. 8 Trolls, 3 Wagons, bombs and more. It was no wonder it was a packed house.

There's was one issue.... Bulbasaur?....Bubble Gore....Bulbous Gork?.....the Trolls really hadn't thought through their global marketing potential. To that end, it was decided by Cabalvision that there was an opportunity for a temporary rebrand to promote their new venture with Lump....

Kick Off
L.A.D.S. 20-16 Troll's House Party

Amid the fervour of the stadium the game itself was rather overshadowed, both by the removal of 9 starting L.A.D.S. but also the fact that every Troll Vomit lead to a pause in play whilst Cabalvision tried a number of jaunty jingles for "The Gunk Dunk" and multiple replays.

Somewhere in the midst, Kaboom took out a number of Trolls with a bomb, albeit only one registering as a score, and the Trolls trundled over for a touchdown.

Half Time
L.A.D.S. 21-17 Troll's House Party

The second half happened. Hai (sibling of the sadly fallen Kai) sneaked over for a debut score, but really all anyone wanted to know was when does the new show launch and who was lined up to appear?

In a quiet backroom at the stadium, a Cabalvision executive growled to his intern. "We need to capitalise on this NOW! Get me Blagga, Vima and Gary Wilmot for Show One!"
