pOWLtergeist Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If you think how much merchandise has Chansiris name on it its going to cost a new owner millions just to replace it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be honest As an Admin of the site you read threads like this and think ‘ahh bless him - looks like a 13 year old has posted something after having his first ever pint of lager’ and then you just go ahead and delete it But.. with this regime.. I don’t want to delete it only to find it actually really does get announced tomorrow This is the thing This current regime is so batshit crazy it could actually turn out to be not some drug riddled windup but actually true! what do I do?

Wing Back Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I was playing kerplunk with a mate last night who works with someone who knows the daughter of someone's 3rd cousin who used to have a job sweeping the floor at a place where the chief sausage roll tester of the catering firm we no longer use once walked past after he missed his bus one morning and he said that we're changing our name to Sheffield Golden Elephants and painting the stadium gold and replacing Hi Ho Silver Lining with Gold Finger before games and the only food on sale at games next season will be Terrys All Gold. Possibly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
