That new strip is lovely, just like Darlo's! Just woke up when I saw it so nearly fell for it as well!

I must admit, I fell for it for about 30 seconds. It was a pretty good April Fool joke.

Me too.

If I was Darlo I'd copy that.

I didn't fall for it but I was impressed at how well the mock up was made. Just looked at a few other April Fools jokes from other clubs on the BBC and I think that one's probably one of the best!

Other ones:

England coach Fabio Capello believes it might be easier for his players to learn Italian than him to speak English. (The Sun)

Accrington Stanley are to change their name to Lancashire Stanley United from next season. (Accrington club website)

Hartlepool have unveiled a new centenary kit for next season - in black-and-white hoops [the colours of local rivals Darlington]. (Hartlepool club website)

Bury manager Alan Knill, 43, has registered himself as a player for their relegation run-in. (Bury club website)

Luton mascot Harry the Hatter has been kidnapped on the way to Debenhams, while Oldham's Chaddy the Owl has had his costume stolen. (Luton and Oldham club websites)

Plymouth have unveiled a tartan away kit for next season, paying homage to manager Paul Sturrock and the other Scots on the playing staff. (Plymouth club website)

Port Vale are to move to a new £35m stadium named after chairman Bill Bratt, across the road from their current Vale Park home. (Port Vale club website)

Wycombe midfielder Sergio Torres is to record an album of folk songs. (Wycombe club website)

Preston are to pay tribute to their 1957/58 team by commissioning some "Invincible Gold"-coloured seats [suspiciously similar in colour to the tangerine of rivals Blackpool]. (Preston club website)

Oxford United will hold a Rodeo Day competition as the bronze ox statue outside their ground has been fitted with a "bucking bronco" setting. Making guest appearances at the event will be Billy Ray Cyrus, Billy Boy Walton, Billy Ray Reardon and Roy Walker. (Oxford club website).

Brighton's tired players have been training at theme park Chessington World of Adventures for three days this week, riding rollercoasters to rejuvenate their weary limbs. (Brighton club website).

Northampton could be deducted points after a complaint was lodged over the colour of socks they wore in a recent game. Boss Stuart Gray expects to hear something "before noon today". (Northampton club website)

Burnley plan to ground-share with arch-rivals Blackburn at Ewood Park in 2010/11 while Turf Moor is redeveloped. (Burnley club website)

Lincoln City are proposing to switch the kick-offs of matches from Saturday at 1500 to Monday at 1000, to reduce their carbon footprint. (Lincoln club website)

Odd though it may seem, replies like 'WHY' and 'INDEED' to each and every thread arent funny and don't serve any purpose whatsoever, or am I wrong??

Some of them are dross, I like the Lincoln one though, I bet some village idiots fell for that clappp

Surely an April Fool needs to be convincingly daft, there's no point saying something which is possible, like a new ground or a ground share.
