Story goes that, in 1731, King Frederick I of Sweden received a lion skin as a gift from the Bey of Algiers. The taxidermist tasked with mounting it had never seen a lion in real life, and only had a vague idea of what one was supposed to look like.
The resulting monstrosity (above) remains on display at Gripsholm Castle for all to see.
FC United of Manchester said:FC United has been informed that this season’s Evo-Stik Premier Division play-offs will be reduced to just two teams – those finishing in second and third place - to compete in a one-off match on Monday 2nd May for promotion to the Conference North.
The planned semi-finals, which were scheduled for Thursday 28th April, have been scrapped after the government passed an emergency bill yesterday ruling no major sporting or cultural events will be permitted to take place within 24 hours of the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, which is set for Friday 29th.
A government spokesperson said: “This is the biggest Royal Wedding for 30 years. First and foremost, we need every police officer and security professional in the country to be on high alert not working elsewhere at pop concerts or sports fixtures.
“Secondly, the day has been designated as a Bank Holiday for the nation to enjoy. It should not and will not be overshadowed by any trivial matters and we expect people to be able to celebrate the day properly without any distractions. With this in mind, we have ordered the postponement of all other events taking place within 24 hours of the Royal Wedding.”
The news has come as a shock to the League, the Board and all of our promotion rivals. The League committee held an emergency meeting late last night and has decided that, due to the tight end of season schedule, on this occasion the only option is to have two teams competing in the play-offs.
FC United manager Karl Marginson said: “I feel like we’ve been royally shafted but we’ll just have to get on with it and see if we can finish in the top three.”
And Margy added: “I think the most disappointing thing for me is that I’ve already ordered a Wills and Kate ceramic plate with matching teapot and teacups but I don’t think I’ll be able to bear looking at them now. I’ll have to send them all back or maybe throw them around the dressing room during an angry team talk.”
