'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

What a load of SHIT

Sounds exactly like the sort of bloke that the FA should be keeping away from having anything to do with any football club.

Nothing but respect for Mansfield fans after a group of them joined us in refusing to go into the Goldstone game during 96/97 season (we all charged in for free at halftime anyway) but to come all that way and show solidarity with our plight was very touching, not sure how many BHA fans would travel to Mansfield and decide on spec not to go in because a percentage of the home fans were boycotting the game.

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Can't imagine Mansfield the toen supporting a club that has a fictitious name.

Can you imagine the reaction if it was the Albion? Or maybe plenty wouldn't bothered if a big hunk of money was forthcoming.

Worth a poll?
