Superstitious English Club Owners Forced To Change Name To Avoid Evil Spirits Interfering With Players

It’s not exactly on the scale of the Hull City becoming Hull Tigers hoo-hah, but the name change of a local Lancashire club has been scrapped. Not because of supporter pressure - but because evil spirits apparently don’t approve.

Bacup and Rossendale Borough FC of the North West Counties League have been forced to change their name back to the original Bacup Borough FC, after a string of haunting ‘freak incidents’.

Club manager Brent Peters claims the players and staff are convinced the presence of a ghoul is the reason for their on-field problems, hampering his players’ ability to score a goal.
