Just tried to buy a couple of tickets from the ticket office but as of 11:30AM they stilll haven't turned up, they said they're hoping they'll arrive by 1PM and if you do buy over the phone you can collect your ticket up at Mansfield tomorrow.

What is the pub of choice for those who have been before?

Yep same here. Mind you if the tickets don't turn up, they wont have any to sell. So not quite sure what will happen then.

I'm sure this is old news , but just seen that the Newport v Fleetwood game is off.
Those taffs have a lot of catching up to do..............

Could work well for us that. They could end up playing Tues, Thurs, Sat at this rate and will burn out

I think the football league are looking into the constant postponements they are having. We went there in October and the pitch was **** then

The Mansfield woman said about giving them cash so you have paid and picking the tickets up at the ground if that was the case, not sure the kids in our ticket office will cope with that scenario though.

Think I read somewhere that they allow the Newport Rugby team to play on there too.

I did attempt to do this but was told they can only accept money when the tickets have arrived. Very annoying as I now can't get back down there so will have to purchase over the phone, bloody Mansfield and their all ticket policy.

because they are hopeless in there, they even wanted to send tickets for me to arrive sometime Saturday, dimwits!

yes your right, the Rugby team are due to play on Sat or Sun and the football team again on Tuesday. Its about time the league restricted some of these non league shambles in the league

Have the tickets turned up yet. Dont want to waste 30 mins on hold just to find out they have not got them yet.

I've been to Mansfield before and my pub of choice is The Crooked Billet in Old Leigh.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, just phoned up the club and purchased two for collection at Mansfield, took all of 2 minutes. :thumbsup:

With the Rugby team sharing the pitch and adding to the damage this could result in NCFC being fined and/or ordered to play elsewhere until their surface is playable. If so could work against them. They might then lose some of the games in hand and fall away. Hope so. Amateurs.

Always preferred the Smack Inn in Old Leigh................As for Mansfield, Dunno. Can someone advise ?

Not too many good 'uns to choose from in Mansfield itself. Bit of a scummy element too, so away fans are advised to avoid the town centre, not that I'll be taking any notice of that. The Wetherspoons in the Market Place is in the Good Beer Guide, as is the Bold Forester (a GK house but with lots of guest ales apparently), a little way north of the ground.

Either that, or drink in Nottingham and get the train to Mansfield as late as possible.
