WELCOME TO RINKENÆS

A new era has started in the small Danish village of Rinkenæs in Southern Jutland, as General Manager Madsen founded the Rinkenæs Ringriders, aspiring Western Europe Pro football team.
How a tiny parish like Rinkenæs Sogn will ever be able to support a fullsize American Football franchise (or why they would even want to try), might never fully dawn on the slow but hardworking community of 2,397 inhabitants (of which 1,271 live in Rinkenæs town), nor on the world, but nevertheless: The foundation of the Ringriders is a fact!
And squad recruiting is going surprisingly well, stated GM Madsen:
-"Indeed, after less than 24 hours of existence, we're practically ready to play ball. Our basic stadium emerged overnight, with a little help from extra workers from South of the border, and having signed 26 players on our first drafting day, we're more than well on the way to a real, live minimum roster."
With all the commotion going on, one might assume the village would appear disturbed, but apparantly it takes a lot more to arouse the steady Rinkenæs townsfolk:
-"Football? With the hands? I give it a fortnight," squealed parish clerk Fistel.
But whether or not famous parish duck, "Rapanden" Rasmus, will still be quacking quietly from the village pond come matchday, remains to be seen...
