Mansfield raise Capacity

Mansfield Town have announced that the capacity of their Field Mill ground has been raised to 5,064.
It is the latest move in a long-running saga relating to their ground, which in theory is capable of housing 9,368.

Twice already this year, Field Mill's capacity has been halved by Nottinghamshire County Council after concerns over spectator safety.

But they can now accommodate 1,335 fans in the North Stand for Saturday's local derby with Notts County.

Last season's game against County attracted 6,182 fans - one of the Stags' biggest attendances of the season, compared to their 2006/07 average league gate figure of 3,176.

That will mean more tickets for us. We will sell out all tickets they send us.

always good tto hear more people going to games

Only 4000 to that game. Pathetic. Represents the poor form of both clubs really.

Shame, cause everyone knows mansfield are just one big family. Bloody inbreds.
