WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE

Well the Stags are almost down and out of the league now and to cap it all the current owner who had previously promised to stay away from the ground was there for the game yesterday. He was attacked by fans at the end of the game and taken to hospital. Everybody who I've spoken to in Mansfield is over the moon that someone has finally given the git what he deserves as he's the one who has dragged the club into this situation and creamed money off the club for years.
I feel for the future of the club now.

Not looking good is it John. Bar a miracle, they are going out of the league, and, with so many problems, a ground which needs massive improvements, it looks even less healthy than Wrexham.

I just hope this puts the idiots off the club and someone with a bit of sense comes in and buys them up.

Well it looks like someone might have finally stepped in to buy the club. The fans have joined forces and decided not to buy season tickets until Haslam has gone and the local sponsors are also boycotting the club until he's gone as well.
Latest article from the local newspaper:-

Well the Stags have now been taken over by a consortium of local businessmen. Hopefully now they will be able to get a team together for the new season. They haven't even released any prices for season tickets or anything for the coming season yet !
