'Dream Team' vision for Stags bid
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 of 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.
Personally i think it would be a horrific name for a club, and it seems this man changes these names to make a bit of money.....COCK
