Gerard Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 taking my 3 year old to his first match. He's so excited. I've told him people will be singing leciester songs. so you boring swines better not let him down! First game Mansfield away in a friendly? Sounds a bit like going to Skegness for your honeymoon in November. I suppose he's only three so won't know no better.
Ashley Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 You CAN BUY on the gate tomorrow. Think our allocation was just to get a feel for how many we will take. Can see is taking 1,500 +

No organisation from our club anyway with things like this ticket situation has always been a joke
Stuntman_Mike Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Really looking forward to this one! Another ground to tick off from doing the 92.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Can't go, at work yet again Pre season games are usually shite anyway
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 I haven't been to Mansfield for some 45 years or so. I wonder if it's changed at all?
worthosoriginals Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Yeh! its v modern now. Theres a gregs and a poundland.
Wymsey Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Yeh! its v modern now. Theres a gregs and a poundland. And plenty on benefits.
Edingleyfox Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 I haven't been to Mansfield for some 45 years or so. I wonder if it's changed at all? Have worked in Mansfield for over 20 years main change are the retail parks around the peripheries and the closure of the mines. The town centre has suffered in recent years with a few cheap and empty shops but a few larger stores such as Debenhams can be found in the 4 seasons mall. The area around the ground is fine but it will be busy tomorrow with well over 3000 expected presumably half city fans.This is more than their average home gate.Don't expect to get away tickets on the day. Agree with the comments about the pubs in one of the earlier postings.
weller54 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Football is back! ... kinda. Its Football Jim, but not as we know it!..

Leicesterpool Posted 24 July 2015 Author Posted 24 July 2015 If you going by train you'll probably see a few swansea fans at Nottingham, there away to Forest.
Brooksy Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Bought a couple online a few days ago, will I be able to collect them from the Mansfield ticket office?
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Already been to the ground, oddly to see Mansfield v Boro in the FA Cup 7 years back. Off to Burton on Tuesday night though to tick another off.

ousefox Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 Went to watch York in the playoff semi fin there a few years ago. Cool stadium and great match. One of the worst places I have ever visited in my life though. Made Scunthorpe look beautiful.

Guest bss9401 Posted 25 July 2015 Posted 25 July 2015 Where To Drink? There is a bar at the ground called the Sandy Pate (underneath the Ian Greaves Stand), which welcomes away fans and is free to enter. However, as you would expect it gets quite busy on matchdays. Pete Smith recommends 'The Talbot' on the Nottingham Road (A60) near to the Sainsburys Supermarket. This pub which also serves food, has big screens showing televised football and is about a ten minute walk away from the ground (just go along the Nottingham Road in the opposite direction to the town centre). Jeff Beastall adds; 'Opposite the Talbot is the 'Il Rosso' is an upmarket wine bar and a little on the pricey side, albeit with a good selection of beers and lagers and Big Screen TV. It is popular with visiting fans'. Chris Patrick recommends; 'The Sir John Cockle pub is on the A38 going into Mansfield from the M1 and again serves good food'. Whilst Gordon Cleugh adds; 'About a quarter of a mile past the John Cockle on the A38 there is The Bold Forester which has about 10 real ales and also serves good value food' and is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Whilst Terry Gospel, advises that away fans should avoid the Victoria Hotel and Red Lion Pubs. Generally it advised to also steer clear of pubs in the town centre. However there is a Wetherspoons outlet called the Court House, situated in Market Place, which is also listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Top Of Page A Closer Look At The Quarry Lane End Top Of Page How To Get There By Car & Where To Park From The North:Leave the M1 at Junction 29, take A617 to Mansfield . After 6 miles turn right into Rosemary Street. Follow road for 1 mile and turn right into Quarry Lane. From The South: Leave the M1 at Junction 28, take A38 to Mansfield and after 6.5 miles turn right at the crossroads into Belvedere St, then turn right into Quarry Lane. There is no parking for supporters at the ground itself, but there is a nearby private car park which charges £5. Otherwise it is a case of finding some street parking. Malcolm Dawson a visiting Sunderland supporter adds; 'I parked in the retail park (PC World, Currys, B&Q) behind the North Stand. I assumed that there would be unlimited free parking, but when I got back after the match I had a parking ticket for £50. Be warned!' Map showing the location of the Field Mill Football Ground (at the bottom of this page). Top Of Page By Train The ground can be seen from Mansfield railway station which is no more than ten minutes walk away. The station is on a local line and is served with trains from Nottingham. To get to the ground from the station; Leave the station and turn left along the dual carriageway, (away from the town centre), you should see a retail park on the right. Go straight ahead at the first set of traffic lights, along Portland Street and then right at the next lights and into Quarry Lane. The ground is a short distance down this road on the right hand side.Martin Monk adds; 'for away fans using the trains take note that for mid-week matches the last train leaves from Mansfield - Nottingham at 9.45 PM and the last train leaves from Mansfield - Worksop at 9.38 PM, please check with your train operators as both of these times fall before a 7.45 KO match finishes. Away fans have been known to have been left stranded in Mansfield, and have struggled to get home'. Spot on summary including the pubs report. Mansfield is ok, I have lived here for 6 years but have never watched us at Field Mill (One Call) so am looking forward to it. The ground is nice, tidy and central. Local people are good honest footie fans and proud of their team. I expected Mansfield to be full of forest scum when I moved here but it isn't. See you all later.
