Oh my life!!!
Turns out there is a new bid for my local team Mansfield Town :shock:Â And this man has some crazy ass plans
A man bidding to buy Mansfield Town is planning to rename the club Harchester United after the former Sky series The Dream Team, the BBC has learnt.
John Batchelor, former owner of York City, submitted a bid to majority shareholder Keith Haslam on Wednesday.
Producers of the Sky series confirmed Mr Batchelor had made an approach to use the name.
It is understood the racing car enthusiast also plans to use actors from the television series at the club.
Crucial match
Mr Batchelor changed York City’s name to York City Soccer Club when he was at Bootham Crescent to attract American interest.
Mansfield are currently second from bottom in the Football League.
Mr Batchelor was initially part of the consortium before deciding to bid for the struggling League Two club on his own.
The club has undergone a name change once before - from Mansfield Wesleyans to Mansfield Town in 1910.
The Stags play Notts County in a crucial local derby at Field Mill on Saturday.
