    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.
