An epic prank – on April Fool’s Day – in England, starring… OPAP Arena!
It all started when Baldock Town, a local group, decided to play a prank on her friends. In particular, he issued a statement, in which he said that on the one hand an American businessman from Hollywood intends to buy the team, but without knowing his name until he… understands what offside is. On the other hand, he informed that the club will acquire a new stadium. AEK is also involved there – but without mentioning the “yellow and black” anywhere (for the sake of the joke) – since the photo they included was from the new “palace” of the “Union” in New Philadelphia.
“I still can’t believe my luck, that the club can be so lucky in such a difficult time. And that’s because he found wealthy owners who are interested in buying the team. But the club will use the money in the right way when it becomes available“, commented the current owner of the team
However, the fun didn’t stop there. Initially, since it was noted in the announcement that all of the above was also said by Gary Lineker on the ‘Match of the Day’ show, they went on to stress that the intention of the new investors is to unite some teams from North Hertfordshire to create a super team – called Balchichin Town (derived from Baldock Town and Hitchin) – which will reach at the top of England, but also which will play in the European competitions.
In fact, in the announcement it was claimed – and somewhere in there probably even the last… gullible person should have pinched it – that the duo of the attack will be made up of veteran legends, Alan Shearer and Ian Wright.
Successful. Come on, and next year!
