Chester but not for much longer?

[Shrimpacus]

A friend who is a Chester fan has just sent me this interview with the guy who wants to buy Chester and re-name them Harchester United

It's absolutely incredible, I can't believe that maniacs like this actually exist:

anyone with coloured two-tone glasses is a penis

 

[Uncle Leo]

Never read anything like it!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

That guy is either mad or a total and utter tool

Thank god for Ron i say

 

[BrettieAngell]

Hmmm wasn't this **** going to buy Mansfield and do the same thing?

 

[returningshrimper]

Harchester Utd sounds like a team Melchester Rovers would play

 

[Andy_S]

Blimey. Really hope he doesn't get his wish and the Chester owner stands strong.

 

[fatshrimp]

Is that Russell Crowe?

 

[fredheim_holm]

Absolute idiot.

 

[Nobby Snide]

there has to be similarities to Wimbledon and MkDons...... anyone who buys a team, and wants to call it anthing apart from the town where it comes from needs to be demoted 3 divisions.

or set up the Beano and dandy league

Or, just make it illegal unless 60% of the fanbase vote for it.

 

[Nobby Snide]

why illegal?

i know we dont wat the route of American football teams, in terms of franchises and stupid names..ie the southend sabres or colchester gladiators..but whats wrong with harchester, really?

Yep you are correct Rich, my mate is a Mansfield fan and text me about it when it was going to happen. Luckily for them it didn't happen.

You know what, this bloke is being exactly what everyone say they wanted Ron Martin to be. Up front and honest. He's not a nutter, he can see an opportunity to make money for a professional football club regardless of how many - or even if - fans attend. He wants to invest £2m and needs a return. The only way that can happen is by his sponsorship deals and a business with 27,000 potential customers (rather than the 2000 he mentioned that Chester have) is far easier to sell to.

Sadly, with football going the way it is, I can see this sort of thing happening more and more. The days when people are prepared to lose millions simply for the love of their club are past I'm afraid.

On the plus side, we could bribe the scriptwriters with Fish House haddock specials so we'd avoid administration and win the newly re-instated Watney Cup.

All of our games would be televised on Sky as well.

Sensible solutions for a better Britain.
