JOHN RADFORD<br />

Welcome to Stefan Rupp,<br />

<strong>Bradford</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s chairman,<br />

to One Call Stadium for today’s<br />

match.<br />

Our opening three league matches<br />

have produced a good, early points<br />

tally.<br />

We can all see the positivity with<br />

which our players are endeavouring<br />

to play, none more so than on<br />

Tuesday night at Colchester.<br />

I was greatly encouraged to see some<br />

eye-catching, free-flowing football<br />

and our display on the night should<br />

have merited all three points.<br />

Today’s match is likely to be our<br />

sternest test so far against a <strong>Bradford</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> outfit who many are tipping<br />

as promotion contenders, though I<br />

know we have enough quality in our<br />

ranks to maintain our excellent start<br />

to the season at One Call Stadium.<br />

Elsewhere, I was delighted to see<br />

so many supporters at our Open<br />

Day at RH Academy last Sunday. It<br />

was a perfect day to show our new<br />

training ground to the community of<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> for the first time.<br />

Many of our new signings remark<br />

about the facilities upon joining<br />

us and I am proud that we have a<br />

training base of this quality. It is a<br />

first-class facility for our first-team,<br />

academy and ladies and will be a real<br />

legacy for the club.<br />

Thank you to the 224 supporters who<br />

made the 340-mile round journey<br />

to Colchester in mid-week. It is an<br />

outstanding show of support towards<br />

our team to travel such a distance<br />

on a Tuesday evening, with all the<br />

expense included.<br />

Let’s maintain our strong home start<br />

this afternoon.<br />

NIGEL<br />

CLOUGH<br />

Welcome to <strong>Bradford</strong> <strong>City</strong> The early signs are good and<br />

manager Derek Adams, we’re encouraged by our opening<br />

along with the players, staff and three matches, with seven points<br />

fans from West Yorkshire this acquired.<br />

evening.<br />

We found a way to win in both of<br />

our opening two matches – against<br />

Bristol Rovers and Newport County<br />

- when we were perhaps not as<br />

fluent as we would like to be. But<br />

regardless, we scored four good<br />

goals in our two home league<br />

games to help us earn maximum<br />

points.<br />

We know we can be better with and<br />

without the ball, but to win two<br />

home games without playing at our<br />

best is an encouraging sign.<br />

A very good performance at<br />

Colchester United followed in<br />

mid-week, where we controlled the<br />

game for long periods and created<br />

numerous opportunities.<br />

The frustration for us was not<br />

seeing out the game, following a<br />

number of chances created, and<br />

conceding a last minute penalty<br />

after a very poor decision from<br />

the referee.<br />

With that noted, it’s up to us to<br />

kill the clock prior to the penalty<br />

and we have to be better with<br />

our decision-making in games.<br />

But we take heart from some very<br />

good football played. We probably<br />

created more opportunities on<br />

Tuesday than we did from the first<br />

two home games, so there are<br />

many positives still to take from<br />

our match at Colchester, despite<br />

dropping two points.<br />

With eight new players in the squad,<br />

the players are still getting to know<br />

one another and it’ll likely take a<br />

few months for us to be a truly welloiled<br />

team.<br />

The players are enjoying playing in<br />

front of you, our home supporters,<br />

and it’s down to us to maintain<br />

our promising start with positive<br />

performances and results.<br />

Enjoy today’s game.<br />

NEWSDESK<br />

NEW SCOREBOARD<br />

COMING SOON<br />

Last week, we were proud to announce that<br />

a new LED scoreboard will be installed at One<br />

Call Stadium by the end of the calendar year.<br />

Commissioned by global leaders in sports<br />

stadia LED solution technology, ADI, the new<br />

screen will replace the existing scoreboard on<br />

the Bishop Street side of One Call Stadium.<br />

The new screen, 25m 2 in size, will show a wide<br />

range of visual features, including previous<br />

match highlights and commercial adverts.<br />

The new scoreboard will enhance the matchday<br />

experience of our supporters and commercial<br />

partners.<br />

Chief executive officer David Sharpe said:<br />

“The upgrading to a new scoreboard has been<br />

overdue and we’re pleased to be working<br />

with one of the leading specialists in LED<br />

technology, ADI, who will help fulfil our<br />

ambitions.<br />

“The screen will be far more flexible and<br />

effective than our current one and will enable<br />

us to produce and project dynamic content on<br />

a matchday at One Call Stadium.<br />

“The new scoreboard will also be used as<br />

an innovative, promotional platform for<br />

advertisers, both locally and nationally, to<br />

showcase their brands.<br />

“We’re very much looking forward to its<br />

installation and will keep our supporters up-todate<br />

with the latest developments as and when<br />

necessary.”<br />

STAGS PROGRESS TO PREMIER LEAGUE CUP GROUP STAGE<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong>’s under-23s will<br />

join Leeds United under-23s,<br />

Sunderland under-23s and Wigan<br />

Athletic under-23s in the Premier<br />

League Cup group stage, following a<br />

recent 3-2 win at Salford <strong>City</strong> in the<br />

competition’s qualifying round.<br />

Salford took the lead in the first-half<br />

through a Matt Sargent goal in the<br />

17th minute, but the Stags responded<br />

through James Clarke and Jimmy<br />

Knowles at the Peninsula Stadium.<br />

Late on, the hosts equalised through<br />

Ben Finley, but a stoppage time<br />

penalty, converted by Tyrese Sinclair,<br />

secured <strong>Mansfield</strong>’s passage to the<br />

competition’s group stage.<br />

The Premier League Cup is a UEFA<br />

Champions League style competition,<br />

with 32 clubs’ under-23 sides making<br />

up the group stage. Because more<br />

than 32 clubs entered this year’s<br />

competition, there was an extra round<br />

of qualifying, which the Stags faced<br />

Salford in last week.<br />

The Stags will face Leeds United U23,<br />

Sunderland U23 and Wigan Athletic<br />

U23 in their group, home and away.<br />

Fixture details will be announced in<br />

due course.<br />

Each side in the Premier League<br />

Cup is allowed to field three ‘overage’<br />

outfield players, as well as a<br />

goalkeeper born before 01 January<br />

1997 in the 2021/22 season. All other<br />

players must be under-23.<br />

The competition format is as<br />

follows...<br />

• Qualifying stage If more than<br />

32 clubs enter the competition, a<br />

qualifying knock-out stage takes<br />

place between Category 3 and 4 clubs<br />

to determine who joins Category 1<br />

and 2 sides in the Group stage<br />

• Group stage The tournament<br />

will be split into eight groups of four<br />

clubs, with each team playing their<br />

opposing clubs home and away.<br />

The top two teams advance to the<br />

knockout stage.<br />

• Knockout stage The last 16,<br />

quarter-finals, semi-finals and final<br />

will all be one-off knockout ties. If the<br />

ties are level after 90 minutes, they go<br />

to extra-time and then penalties if the<br />

teams still can’t be separated.<br />

Following the game, academy<br />

manager Richard Cooper said: “As<br />

an academy and a football club, it’s a<br />

great achievement to reach the group<br />

stages [of the Premier League Cup].<br />

It’s all very new to us.<br />

“To ‘mix it’ with these types of teams,<br />

it gives us six games [three home,<br />

three away] against Leeds, Wigan and<br />

Sunderland, and it hopefully brings a<br />

lot of positives for the club.<br />

“I was as pleased as punch for the<br />

young lads [who played in the game]<br />

and because of where the academy is<br />

heading as a whole.<br />

“Yes, we have a games programme<br />

for our young lads, but now we also<br />

have access to that ‘next tier,’ in terms<br />

of us pitching our players against a<br />

Premier League under-23 side.<br />

“From a development point of view,<br />

it certainly gives you an indication of<br />

where your players are at and what<br />

level we’re at.”<br />

Under-18s’ striker Jack Deakin tells<br />

the story of last week’s narrow 2-1<br />

defeat to Scunthorpe United at The<br />

RH Academy, a game the forward<br />

netted in from the penalty spot.<br />

think we were the better side<br />

I in the first-half, especially for<br />

the first 30 minutes. We’ve been<br />

working hard on our pressing and<br />

that seemed to work throughout<br />

the whole half.<br />

We started to create more chances<br />

than we were doing in pre-season,<br />

which all comes from our learning in<br />

training.<br />

With Scunthorpe, they were very<br />

good at playing out from the back and<br />

getting it up to the strikers quickly.<br />

We got to half-time at 0-0, and the<br />

coaches told us that we needed to<br />

be more composed in the final third.<br />

We agreed that, as a team, we just<br />

needed that bit of composure after a<br />

good first-half.<br />

But, early in the second-half,<br />

Scunthorpe got a goal from a corner.<br />

We didn’t mark the back post as well<br />

as we should have done, but it was a<br />

good delivery by the corner taker.<br />

Our reaction to the goal was good as<br />

we didn’t let our heads go down. We<br />

kept winning possession by pressing<br />

high up the pitch, starting with the<br />

forwards.<br />

Taylor Anderson whipped a ball into<br />

me and I got taken down in the box,<br />

THE<br />

ACADEMY<br />

GOALSCORER<br />

DISCUSSES<br />

NARROW<br />

DEFEAT<br />

Striker Jack Deakin prepares to take<br />

his penalty at The RH Academy<br />

which led to a penalty. I put it away<br />

to get us back into the game and I<br />

think from there we had the edge,<br />

but we were unlucky with the second<br />

Scunthorpe goal.<br />

We were trying to push for that<br />

second ourselves, but their goal came<br />

from not tracking a runner. They<br />

managed to get down the sides and it<br />

ended up being a tap-in from a cross<br />

to make it 2-1.<br />

It was disappointing to lose so late<br />

on. Looking forward, we need to have<br />

some added composure in the final<br />

third and not waste our chances.<br />

If you rush the chance, you have less<br />

of an opportunity to score, so some<br />

more composure is needed in the<br />

next game.<br />

Despite the loss, any time of<br />

the season is good to get on the<br />

scoresheet. I had a really good season<br />

last term with my goal return and I<br />

didn’t want that to drop.<br />

I returned from having COVID on<br />

Thursday and had my first game of<br />

the season on Saturday, so to score<br />

was brilliant.<br />

CONSIGNS HIS PET HATES<br />

INTO ROOM 101…<br />

PEOPLE: T-Bag from Prison Break. He’s the<br />

dirtiest human I’ve ever seen in my life.<br />

FASHION: Stompers. They’re big clunky things.<br />

Shin-breakers.<br />

FOOD: Cheese. I’ve never liked cheese. It stinks,<br />

tastes horrible and is a dirty food.<br />

SPORT: Every time I play tennis, my Mrs. beats me. We<br />

played as recently as last Thursday and she cleaned<br />

me up in three straight sets, so I’ll put tennis into Room<br />

101.<br />

MODERN LIFE: There’s too much technology now,<br />

for kids especially. I remember going out to play<br />

when I was young and just enjoying being free.<br />

Nowadays hardly any kids seem to go out and play<br />

in the park. There’s too much technology; games<br />

and social media keep them indoors.<br />

WILDCARD: I hate losing football matches. I need about<br />

three to four days afterwards to ‘get over’ losing a game<br />

of football.<br />

Giving Football Back to<br />

Small Business<br />

At eBay, we know small business and<br />

football clubs used to be like chips and<br />

gravy, two peas in a pod – a match<br />

made in community heaven.<br />

Ironmongers, ship workers, spring<br />

makers and cobblers, all formed clubs<br />

which decades later are still prospering.<br />

But nowadays, you’d think it was all<br />

eyewatering transfers, Super Leagues<br />

and mega sponsors, detached from the<br />

humble origins of our historic clubs.<br />

That’s why eBay are proud to support<br />

300,000 small businesses who help<br />

power EFL clubs nationwide. We’ll be<br />

donating our advertising space to a lot<br />

of these businesses – on match day<br />

hoardings, around grounds and beyond –<br />

throughout the coming season, to ensure<br />

they can continue to thrive in our local<br />

communities. So, join us in giving your<br />

support to Small Business Power, because<br />

today, they need us more than ever.<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Ladies were in<br />

action last Sunday at our Open<br />

Day at The RH Academy – the Stags’<br />

training ground – drawing 2-2 with a<br />

Nottingham Forest Women XI.<br />

Shannon Purdy and Amy Dawson<br />

were on the scoresheet for the home<br />

side, who had the delight of playing in<br />

front of supporters after two null and<br />

void seasons.<br />

Ladies’ director of football Allan<br />

Woodfield says it was ‘really great’ to<br />

see fans at a ladies’ fixture after some<br />

difficult moments for the side over the<br />

past 17 months.<br />

“It was an excellent day. There were<br />

a lot of fans there, which was great. It<br />

was some great exposure for the team<br />

to play in front of so many people,” he<br />

told The Stag.<br />

“It’s really great that fans could come<br />

in and see what <strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> is<br />

about, with us being such an inclusive<br />

club.<br />

“The game itself was a good one.<br />

In the first 45, we started to gel as a<br />

team, then Andi [Bell, manager] tried<br />

a change of shape in the second-half<br />

which didn’t perhaps work as well as<br />

we’d hoped.<br />

“We learned a lot from the game. If<br />

anything, it told us what we need to<br />

work on in training to ensure we’re<br />

ready to go at the start of the season.”<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Ladies and Nottingham Forest Women<br />

line up ahead of last week’s match at The RH Academy<br />

Woodfield also looked ahead to the<br />

new campaign, which starts away<br />

at local rivals Chesterfield in early<br />

September.<br />

“The first game of the season is always<br />

important, whether it’s Chesterfield<br />

or not. It’s important to us to start<br />

the season well and get points on the<br />

board,” he added.<br />

“We’re looking to place well this<br />

season, so the points are valuable to<br />

us right from the off.<br />

“Because we’re playing Chesterfield,<br />

our closest rivals, it’s going to make<br />

for a great occasion to start the<br />

campaign.<br />

“The most important thing is that we<br />

come away from that game with a<br />

positive result.<br />

“We want to give the players the<br />

opportunity to gel, which may take<br />

us three or four games. In the first<br />

few games, it’s just about getting the<br />

results, whether it looks good or a bit<br />

messy.<br />

“Everyone is particularly excited this<br />

year, as we may get that full campaign<br />

after two null and void seasons.<br />

“But there’s also a bit of nervousness<br />

as COVID hasn’t gone away and we still<br />

have to be mindful. We’ll just have to<br />

keep our fingers crossed that we can<br />

get a good run of games in and play<br />

consistently throughout the season.”<br />

THE GOLDEN ARCHIVE<br />

From the sublime to the ridiculous<br />

and everything in between, we look<br />

back with a Stags’ hero of the past,<br />

focusing on memorable behindthe-scenes<br />

moments they will never<br />

forget.<br />

‘HIS STORY’<br />

PROJECTING A PARADE OF GLORIOUS DAYS FROM<br />

THE WORLD’S OLDEST PROFESSIONAL GROUND<br />

Continuing the season with ‘His-<br />

Story’ is former favourite Tony<br />

Lowery, who played for the club from<br />

1982 – 1991.<br />

The first story I recall is one time,<br />

before a game, I was in a rush to<br />

get the train.<br />

Anyway, I got to the ground and was<br />

getting changed when suddenly one<br />

of the lads shouted towards me, “he’s<br />

got a pair of knickers on!” So, I looked<br />

down and, sure enough, at the front<br />

of my ‘shorts’ was a pretty flowery<br />

bow.<br />

The next thing the word had spread<br />

around the changing room that I’d<br />

got a pair of knickers on! To this day<br />

the lads won’t let it go.<br />

What had happened is that, in my<br />

rush for the train, I’d just grabbed<br />

some underpants from the drawer<br />

without looking and inadvertently<br />

picked up a pair of our lass’!<br />

The story has gone down in <strong>Mansfield</strong><br />

<strong>Town</strong> folklore. A few years later Kevin<br />

Kent was on the local radio, and he<br />

was asked what’s the funniest thing<br />

he’s seen in football? You can guess<br />

what he told them - people refer to<br />

this story to this day and still pull my<br />

leg over it!<br />

Another story involves my inability to<br />

head the ball – I was never any good<br />

at my timing for them. So, one week<br />

– before a County Cup match against<br />

Notts County – Ian Greaves had me<br />

involved in some drills where balls<br />

were continuously chipped up to me<br />

on the 18-yard line for me to practice<br />

set pieces and head the ball on the<br />

edge of the opposition’s box.<br />

So, the match came… we had a<br />

corner, and I drifted into the box<br />

(which I wasn’t supposed to do as<br />

Greavesy wanted me to stay on the<br />

edge) – the ball was coming toward<br />

me, and I saw Brian ‘Killer’ Kilcline<br />

coming right for me… I thought I was<br />

going to get clattered, so I turned<br />

my back, ready to get hit. As I did so,<br />

the ball hit me on the head and flew<br />

into the back of the net! I couldn’t<br />

believe it!<br />

Then, another time – I was sharing<br />

a room on an away day with Kevin<br />

Hitchcock and Neville Chamberlain.<br />

‘Hitchy’ used to snore like a pig.<br />

Anyway, this one night, there was a<br />

big moth flying around the room, so<br />

I caught it and put it in his mouth…<br />

until he then ended up choking!<br />

Hitchy, from that moment, vowed to<br />

get me back. And I’ll leave it at that!<br />
