Love me for a season: Boyzone to team up with non-league Chorley FC

Fans of the Lancashire side reacted with delight- and a little surprise - at the unlikely collaboration after it was announced by the non-league club.

The Magpies said the group, led by Ronan Keating, would attend their home game against Solihull Moors tomorrow as part of "discussions that could potentially see them becoming the face of the football club".

They added: "This is a game-changer that has the potential to bring our town into the limelight like never before, generating a buzz and publicity that will shine a bright light on Chorley and the local area."

The terms are not yet clear, but Keating has denied that Boyzone are planning to buy the 140-year-old club. However, he told listeners of his Magic FM show yesterday: "The rumours are true: Boyzone and Chorley FC are a match made in heaven."
