JOHN RADFORD 

Welcome to Newport County 

chairman Gavin Foxall to One 

Call Stadium for today’s match. 

I can scarcely recall an opening 

day fixture like last Saturday. To 

score a last-gasp, match-winning 

penalty in front of a bumper Stags’ 

crowd - following the absence of our 

supporters for almost 18 months – 

made it an extraordinary afternoon. 

Football is made for moments like 

this. 

Well done to Oli Hawkins and Danny 

Johnson for getting off the mark. 

Our defence also looked assured last 

Saturday, limiting Bristol Rovers to 

minimal goalscoring chances. And 

despite conceding an equalising goal 

to an outstanding strike, we looked 

pretty solid in the season’s first 

outing. 

My hope and wish is that this 

afternoon’s crowd is of a similar 

number to seven days ago and that 

the raucous atmosphere can again be 

generated in the home stands. 

You created an incredible atmosphere 

inside the stadium. Our players will 

feed off this type of environment 

inside One Call Stadium and we must 

maintain it throughout the remainder 

of the campaign, in good games and 

bad. 

I referred to our season ticket 

holders in my column last week and 

reiterated my gratitude to you for 

your commitment for 2021/22. The 

total number of season tickets sold is 

now 2,551, which demonstrates the 

loyalty we have amongst our fanbase. 

As you may have seen recently, 

this figure is the highest number of 

season tickets we have sold in over a 

decade, which bodes well for our club 

heading forward.

NIGEL 

CLOUGH 

Welcome to Newport County fruition as the season progresses. 

manager Michael Flynn, 

along with the staff, players and 

supporters from Rodney Parade for 

this afternoon’s match. 

Thank you, firstly, for supporting us 

last weekend. 

You created an outstanding 

atmosphere for the players to play in. 

If you were to measure opening day 

fixtures, our encounter with Bristol 

Rovers last Saturday would be right 

up there with the most special. 

To win in the 95th minute in the 

manner that we did, with our 

supporters back inside the stadium 

after 18 months, it made for a 

memorable afternoon at the One Call 

Stadium. 

This was only one match and it won’t 

determine our season, but it felt more 

than that, given the occasion. 

We know we can play better than 

we did, but we can understand 

the nerves for the first game of the 

season, especially with fans returning 

to the stadium. 

With that noted, we were largely in 

control of the game and did enough 

to win. Only a wonder-strike got them 

back into the match and we put the 

pressure on after they went down to 

10 men and created a few chances to 

get our reward in the end. 

We found a way to win and 

restricted a good team to very few 

opportunities. 

We can get the ball down and play 

more, like we have done in preseason, 

and I’m sure this will come to 

I actually thought we played better 

at times in mid-week against Preston 

North End, in the Carabao Cup, than 

we did on Saturday. But we were 

bitterly disappointed with two of 

the goals conceded on Tuesday. 

Both were avoidable goals and they 

changed the game. We could have 

worked their goalkeeper more than 

we did but we were more than in the 

game up until the second goal. 

Despite Oli Hawkins and Danny 

Johnson being on the bench, we 

picked a team win the game and I 

thought we had enough in the 11 to 

do that. 

Nevertheless, we return to league 

action today against a Newport 

County side who are always strong 

competitors under Mike Flynn. 

But it will be down to us to produce a 

performance worthy of winning this 

game, with our hope of sending you 

home happy by 5pm today. 

Thank you for your support. 

Enjoy the game.

STAGS ANNOUNCE 

NEW BACK OF HOME 

SHIRT SPONSOR 

We were recently pleased to reveal 

our new home shirt sponsor for the 

2021/22 season, Dukeries Homes. 

Dukeries Homes design and build 

luxury, contemporary and efficient 

homes, specialising in creating and 

delivering bespoke solutions to every 

development opportunity. 

The company’s logo will feature on 

the back of the Stags’ home shirt for 

this season. 

Dukeries Homes is owned by local 

businessmen Andrew Wilson and 

Stephen Clarke, who are looking 

forward to continuing a fruitful 

partnership with the club, having 

previously advertised via a pitchside 

board in front of the North Stand. 

“All of our housing is in the Mansfield 

area,” explained Andrew. “We are 

Mansfield people, a Mansfield 

company, building in Mansfield, so 

consequently we want to be part of 

Mansfield Town. 

“We’re delighted to have our logo 

on the club’s shirt, and hopefully the 

spin-off will be ourselves being seen 

as a reputable, classy builder.” 

Stephen said: “We’ve had a 

relationship with the Stags for a long 

time now, and when the opportunity 

came around to sponsor the rear of 

the home shirt for this season, we 

quickly agreed. It’s a pleasure to have 

this sponsorship. 

“We’re a local business; myself and 

Andrew grew up in Mansfield. With 

people seeing our name on the back 

of the shirt, it’s going to be great for 

the company.” 

Stags’ commercial manager Paul 

Nyland said: “We would like to say 

a big thank you to Andrew and 

Stephen of Dukeries Homes for their 

continuous support. 

“We look forward to strengthening 

our partnership with them over the 

next season. It’s great to have such a 

fantastic local company on our kit for 

the upcoming campaign.” 

• We still have player sponsorship 

and advertising opportunities 

available for the 2021/22 season.

HAWKINS MAKES 

EFL & SKY BET 

LEAGUE TWO 

TEAM OF THE 

WEEK 

It was a debut to remember for 

striker Oliver Hawkins, who earned 

himself a place in the season’s 

first EFL and Sky Bet League Two 

Team of the Weeks, following his 

performance against Bristol Rovers. 

The Sky Bet League Two Team of the 

Week selects the standout players 

across the division following the 

weekend’s round of fixtures, whereas 

the EFL Team of the Week showcases 

the best performers from the Sky Bet 

Championship, Sky Bet League One 

and Sky Bet League Two as a whole. 

Hawkins, 29, had a big impact on last 

week’s season opener against Bristol 

Rovers, opening the scoring in the 

first-half. 

Not only this, but the striker won the 

stoppage time penalty which was 

converted by fellow frontman Danny 

Johnson to secure victory for the 

Stags. 

The attacker played a key role in both 

boxes, winning 18 aerial duels and 

making two clearances throughout 

an all-action debut. 

Well played, Oli!

NEW NORTH 

STAND SPONSORS 

REVEALED 

RM Refrigeration & Air Conditioning 

Ltd are the new North Stand 

sponsors at One Call Stadium for 

the 2021/22 season, we are pleased 

to announce. 

The Mansfield-based business, 

which is a family-run air conditioning 

equipment and servicing company, 

was randomly drawn as North Stand 

sponsors as part of the recent 200 

Club draw in the club’s 1861 Suite. 

The 200 Club gives businesses or 

individuals the chance to sponsor the 

North Stand for the entire season. 

Therefore, the North Stand will 

be known as the RM Refrigeration 

and Air Conditioning Stand for the 

duration of the 2021/22 campaign. 

Commercial manager Paul Nyland 

said: “First of all, I would like to say 

congratulations to RM Refrigeration 

& Air Conditioning for winning 

sponsorship of the North Stand for 

the coming season. 

“We are so pleased with the 

commercial commitments and show 

of support from local companies for 

this year’s 200 Club. 

“I have been overwhelmed with the 

number of businesses that have 

entered this year’s draw considering 

the difficulties we have all faced over 

the last 18 months. 

“The 200 Club has once again 

proven to be another example of 

local companies coming together to 

support Mansfield Town.”

Under-18s’ midfielder Curtis Davies 

tells the story of last week’s 1-1 draw 

away at Grimsby Town, in which he 

scored a late equaliser to rescue a 

point. 

Early into the game, we learned 

that the Grimsby striker was 

very fast, with a counter-attack 

seeing them go into an early lead. 

I thought that he was their best 

player on the day. 

Our defending wasn’t so great in the 

first-half and we didn’t deal with him 

too well. 

But, I thought we were okay in 

midfield and we played through the 

thirds well in parts. Considering it was 

the first game of the season, we all 

linked up really well at times. 

We created a lot of half-chances in 

the first-half, but not many clear cut 

opportunities. Next time out, I’d say 

we need to be more aggressive in our 

attacking play. 

THE 

ACADEMY 

MIDFIELDER LIFTS LID 

AFTER LATE LEVELLER 

At half-time, going into the break 

a goal down, the coaches were 

frustrated with our defending and 

made some tactical adjustments in 

midfield to try and get us back into 

the game. 

There was certainly an improvement 

in the second-half, and we handled 

the lad up front for Grimsby a lot 

better. 

We were more composed at the back, 

and because of that, we saw a lot of 

the ball in the second-half. 

We kept the ball better, moved it side 

to side and created far more chances 

in front of goal. However, we didn’t 

create too many major opportunities. 

Eventually, we managed to find that 

goal at the end of the game. 

It wasn’t a very good goal, but it’s a 

goal at the end of the day. The ball 

went out to McKeal Abdullah on 

the left, he took it to the byline and 

whipped in a really good cross. 

Diego Edwards was in the middle, 

and I ran 30 or 40 yards to gamble on 

there being a chance. It came to me, 

and when I got a little touch on it, 

the goalkeeper tried to clear it but it 

ended up in the net. 

It felt really good to get that goal, 

but I was still a little frustrated, as 

I thought we should’ve won the 

game. I think we were the better 

side on the day and we’ll probably 

look back later in the season and be 

disappointed that we didn’t get the 

three points. 

We’ll be working on creating clear cut 

chances and our defending ahead of 

our next match, against Scunthorpe 

United at home.

ENTERTAINMENT: Staged television, mostly from 

reality tv shows. The producers edit it skilfully, 

picking the ‘best’ bits for the TV. It’s sometimes 

not a fair reflection. The people who go into these 

reality shows often go in it for money and fame, but 

I don’t think they really know what they’re really 

getting themselves into, especially after they’ve left 

and all that comes with it. 

MODERN LIFE: Everybody is trying to be better than 

everybody else. Social media has a big part to play in 

this. A lot of people show a fake life on social media, 

especially famous people. It does have some benefits 

of course; I am on Twitter and my Instagram is private, 

but I like to use it to look at football transfer rumours 

and things like that. 

WILDCARD: I hate politics. I hate the people in charge of 

this country. They all have their own separate agenda. 

I’d throw them all into Room 101 and put an ordinary 

man in charge! 

SPORT: I don’t like cricket. I don’t get it, I really 

don’t. I couldn’t sit and watch it. It’s the only 

sport I wouldn’t watch. 

FOOD & DRINK: I don’t like it when you go to a 

restaurant and you pay a lot of money and there’s 

hardly anything on the plate. I don’t get why they 

charge so much for a mouthful.

Giving Football Back to 

Small Business 

At eBay, we know small business and 

football clubs used to be like chips and 

gravy, two peas in a pod – a match 

made in community heaven. 

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring 

makers and cobblers, all formed clubs 

which decades later are still prospering. 

But nowadays, you’d think it was all 

eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues 

and mega sponsors, detached from the 

humble origins of our historic clubs. 

That’s why eBay are proud to support 

300,000 small businesses who help 

power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be 

donating our advertising space to a lot 

of these businesses – on match day 

hoardings, around grounds and beyond – 

throughout the coming season, to ensure 

they can continue to thrive in our local 

communities. So, join us in giving your 

support to Small Business Power, because 

today, they need us more than ever.

LOCAL DERBY TO KICK 

OFF CAMPAIGN 

Ladies’ manager Andi Bell says 

that, as well as three points, 

‘pride’ will be at stake in the 

opening fixture of the season 

against local rivals Chesterfield. 

After two null and void seasons, 

Mansfield Town Ladies will begin the 

new campaign away to the Spireites 

in early September. 

Andi Bell says that there will be an 

‘added bit of spice’ to the fixture, due 

to the fierce rivalry between the 

two clubs. 

“Chesterfield are one of the 

teams that have come up,” 

she told The Stag. “We’ve 

played them in friendlies 

a few times and they’ve 

always given us a good 

game. 

“They’re a really strong 

team, but we want to 

hit the ground running. 

There is a lot of pride 

at stake within that 

particular fixture. 

“We have a few 

Mansfield fans playing 

for us and I’m sure they 

have Chesterfield fans 

who play for them. 

“It’s a local derby, so there will be an 

added bit of spice to the game. 

“It’s the first game of the season, so 

everyone will already be raring to go 

anyway. It should be a good game 

between two good sides.” 

Looking ahead to the upcoming new 

season, Andi Bell says Mansfield 

Town Ladies must aim for ‘the top 

end of the table,’ due to the excellent 

facilities on offer at the club. 

“We’ve got a good core of players 

from last season and a few additions. 

I think it will be an exciting season 

because of the squad we’ve put 

together. 

THERE IS A 

“ LOT OF PRIDE AT 

STAKE WITHIN 

THAT PARTICULAR 

FIXTURE. 

” 

“The league will be tougher 

than it was last time around, as 

there has been another couple 

of good clubs promoted. 

“We’ll prepare ourselves 

properly, and I hope 

we’ll be there or 

thereabouts come the 

end of the season. 

“With the backing we’ve 

got from the club and the 

support we have, along 

with the facilities we have 

access to, finishing at the 

top end of the table has to 

be the aim. 

“It’s a tough ask with only one 

side going up, as there are 

a lot of quality teams in our 

league.” 


COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT COURSE RECRUITING STUDENTS 

Mansfield Town Football in the 

Community has just finished 

another year of its BTEC Level 

Three Diploma/Extended 

Diploma in Sports Coaching and 

Development, and is now seeking a 

new batch of students to take part 

in the programme. Training daily 

with a UEFA B qualified coach and 

studying in an Ofsted ‘Good’ rated 

education facility, students will be 

overseen daily by expert staff. 

Year 12 students pose for a photo during their media day with education officer Ben 

Cocker (left) and post-16 education lead coach Mark Lynk (right). 

The BTEC Level Three Diploma/ 

Extended Diploma in Sports Coaching 

and Development will encourage 

students to fulfil their potential and 

discover more about the possibilities 

of a prolonged career in sport, with 

a coursework-based approach to 

learning. Learning is all based at One 

Call Stadium. 

Ben Cocker, education officer at 

Football in the Community, said: 

“We’re really excited about the 

new academic year and supporting 

students’ development. Students get 

lots of support during their time with 

us at the club and are encouraged 

to develop and build key skills both 

inside and outside of the classroom. 

“Our Year 12 students from 2020/21 

have been an absolutely brilliant 

group and I’m extremely excited 

to see their progress following 

their second year on the BTEC 

programme.” 

Students will be provided with a 

number of opportunities to discover 

various career options throughout 

the two-year course, including the 

chance to work with Mansfield 

Town Football in the Community’s 

experienced coaching team, gaining 

valuable first-hand experience. 

As part of the post-16 education 

pathway, enrolled students will have 

the opportunity to compete in weekly 

11-a-side matches in the EFL/EFL 

Trust CEFA League. The Community 

Education Football Alliance (CEFA) 

League is regionalised with students 

playing in weekly matches against 

other Football League Trust sides, 

as well as competing in national 

tournaments. 

Ben Cocker added: “Not only do 

students get the opportunity to build 

their knowledge and understanding 

of different topics within sport, but 

they also get to represent our great 

club in competitive games against 

opponents such as Derby County, 

Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and 

Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

“It’s a great opportunity for our 

students to not only progress within 

their academic journey, but also to 

work on their practical skills as well, 

as part of our CEFA team who consist 

of both male and female players with 

ranging levels of ability.” 

The two-year BTEC course is open to 

ages 16-19 and to all genders, and 

does not require candidates to have 

any sport ability or experience. This is 

not an elite footballing development 

programme. Students who wish 

to enrol on the programme must 

provide evidence of a minimum of 

four GCSE qualifications, graded 9-4, 

or a BTEC Level Two in Sport or an 

equivalent. English and Maths are 

not an essential qualification to be 

passed, as Football in the Community 

can provide extra tuition for anyone 

who may require a retake.

THE GOLDEN ARCHIVE 

‘HIS STORY’ 

PROJECTING A PARADE OF GLORIOUS DAYS FROM 

THE WORLD’S OLDEST PROFESSIONAL GROUND 

From the sublime to the ridiculous 

and everything in between, we look 

back with a Stags’ hero of the past, 

focusing on memorable behindthe-scenes 

moments they will never 

forget. 

Featuring this week with ‘His-Story’, is 

former striker Matt Green, who played 

for the club between 2011 – 2013, and 

then again from 2015 – 2017, scoring 

a total of 70 goals for the club. 

Gary Roberts was a character! 

There are a few stories I could 

tell you that involve Robbo, but it’s 

a family club so I will bear that in 

mind! 

There was one occasion I can tell 

you about. One particular week, 

after training, some of the lads had 

managed to run ahead and get into 

the changing room before anybody 

else. Once there, they proceeded 

to get all of Robbo’s clothes and 

smother deep heat inside them all – 

socks, trousers, underpants, the lot! 

After he’d showered, all the lads 

watched in amusement as he got 

dressed, and he slowly turned more 

and more red, as the heat took hold 

from each item of clothing he put on. 

He turned a beetroot colour and then 

his eyes started streaming – which 

he wiped, but because he’d handled 

his clothes with deep heat on, he 

then got it all in his eyes! All the lads 

thought this was hilarious! 

The following day we had an away 

fixture at Kidderminster, and on the 

coach travelling there you could still 

smell deep heat on Robbo. Anyway, 

he played a blinder – setting me up 

for the winner, and he got the man of 

the match! We told him we ought to 

cover him in deep heat every week 

but, funnily enough, he wasn’t so 

keen! 

There were so many memorable 

times at the club! One occasion we 

all particularly enjoyed was when 

we went to Tenerife, which the 

chairman had paid for, to celebrate 

our promotion back to the Football 

League. 

I’d fallen asleep at the side of the 

pool, with my phone in my pocket. 

John Dempster and Lee Beevers 

thought it would be funny to wake 

me up – which they did by picking me 

up, still on the sun lounger, throwing 

me into the pool! All the boys loved 

that and found it hilarious seeing 

me launched into the pool! I found it 

funny too, until I realised I’d still got 

my phone in my pocket! 

Another amusing story is one time 

when Chappy (Adam Chapman) 

realised he had forgotten his shin 

pads before a big match against Notts 

County. So, just before the match was 

due to start, he ran into the Sandy 

Pate Bar, grabbed a load of beer mats 

and wrapped them all around his 

ankles and shins, making a pair of 

self-made shin pads! 

He went on to play really 

well, scoring a worldy of 

a free-kick, and we won 

about 5-0!
