JOHN RADFORD<br />

Welcome to Phil Wallace,<br />

<strong>Stevenage</strong>’s chairman, to One<br />

Call Stadium for this afternoon’s<br />

match.<br />

Despite the last two results not going<br />

in our favour, our season remains<br />

very much alive and our hopes of<br />

success this term a real possibility.<br />

It was always probable that our<br />

magnificent run in the league would<br />

come to a halt at some point and<br />

now our endeavours turn towards<br />

starting another similar sequence of<br />

the results in the business end of the<br />

season.<br />

Our management and players should<br />

take further encouragement ahead of<br />

these final 12 games, knowing<br />

that we - as supporters - will be with<br />

them every step of the way in our<br />

positive and raucous backing from<br />

the stands.<br />

It was great to see another bumper<br />

crowd in our last home game against<br />

Exeter. The attractive football which<br />

we’re playing and the high number<br />

of points we’re acquiring seemed<br />

to have generated great excitement<br />

around the <strong>Town</strong> and I’m hopeful<br />

that our home attendances will<br />

continue to increase between now<br />

and the end of the season.<br />

We have a great incentive this<br />

afternoon as we target a club record<br />

of 11 consecutive home victories in<br />

the Football League.<br />

Very best of luck to Nigel and the<br />

players.<br />

NIGEL<br />

CLOUGH<br />

Welcome to <strong>Stevenage</strong> manager hamstring, so we were without him<br />

Steve Evans along with the also and Elliott Hewitt, who’s been<br />

staff, players and supporters from excellent for us this season, needed<br />

Hertfordshire for this afternoon’s a breather.<br />

game.<br />

We’re heartened to be back at<br />

home today and we’ll be doing our<br />

utmost to set a new club record of<br />

11 consecutive home victories in the<br />

Football League.<br />

After enjoying some excellent results<br />

on the road in recent weeks and<br />

months, the two recent away games<br />

– at Tranmere and Port Vale - have<br />

caught up with us to some extent,<br />

though we contributed to our own<br />

downfall with the manner in which<br />

the goals were conceded.<br />

We must get back to not conceding<br />

goals, which we did so superbly<br />

during our 14 game unbeaten run in<br />

the league.<br />

In our most recent game, at Vale<br />

Park, we were in the game for long<br />

periods after going 1-0 up and a very<br />

rare error from Nathan Bishop let<br />

Vale back into the match.<br />

At 1-1, we were in the ascendancy<br />

and missed a great chance<br />

through George Lapslie. A minute<br />

or two before they scored the<br />

second goal, Vale sliced the ball<br />

onto their own crossbar; an inch or<br />

two lower would have seen us retake<br />

the advantage. Those fine margins<br />

had been going in our favour, but for<br />

the past two games.<br />

In mid-week, we were without Lucas<br />

Akins and Stephen Quinn who both<br />

came off injured in our previous<br />

match at Tranmere four days<br />

previously. Matty Longstaff felt his<br />

One of the plus points was to have<br />

James Perch play 90 minutes and<br />

the performance of Kieran Wallace<br />

in central midfield was very good as<br />

well.<br />

We’ll be doing everything possible<br />

to break the aforementioned club<br />

record today as we aim to embark on<br />

another productive run in these last<br />

12 matches.<br />

Enjoy the game.<br />

STAGS WELCOME DIABETES UK TO ONE CALL STADIUM<br />

Leading charity Diabetes UK and<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football Club are<br />

hoping to show diabetes a red card<br />

with a matchday event at One Call<br />

Stadium.<br />

As the Stags host <strong>Stevenage</strong> today,<br />

Diabetes UK employees and<br />

volunteers will be there to offer<br />

guidance, information and support<br />

on all things relating to the<br />

condition.<br />

Roy Bustin, Diabetes UK Volunteer<br />

co-ordinator in the Midlands, is<br />

delighted to be working alongside<br />

the club in giving advice regarding<br />

the condition.<br />

“We are delighted to be working with<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football Club on this<br />

health awareness event,” he said.<br />

“Diabetes is a serious condition, but<br />

there is a lot that people can do to<br />

prevent or delay the onset of type 2<br />

diabetes, or put their type 2 diabetes<br />

into remission by making healthier<br />

food choices, being more active and<br />

losing weight, especially around the<br />

middle, if you need to.<br />

“We can also chat to people living<br />

with all types of diabetes who want to<br />

know how to manage the condition<br />

better, what support is out there and<br />

more about our work.<br />

“The last couple of years have been<br />

very hard for everyone. Demand for<br />

our services is increasing all the time.<br />

Working closely with <strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong><br />

and engaging with their supporters<br />

about diabetes is a great way of<br />

helping people to make changes<br />

which benefit their health in both the<br />

short and long term.”<br />

Stags’ goalkeeper Nathan Bishop<br />

expressed his support for the charity.<br />

“We’re really pleased to be<br />

supporting Diabetes UK and<br />

look forward to welcoming their<br />

representatives to One Call Stadium<br />

today,” said Bishop.<br />

“It’s important that we all understand<br />

as much as possible about this<br />

condition, and the visit of Diabetes<br />

UK will enable them to inform our<br />

supporters of the causes, symptoms,<br />

complications and treatments<br />

associated with the condition.”<br />

There are an estimated 4.9 million<br />

people living in the UK with diabetes<br />

- a condition where there is too much<br />

glucose in the blood because the<br />

body cannot process it properly.<br />

If not managed carefully, both type<br />

1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to<br />

devastating complications, including<br />

sight loss, amputation, kidney failure<br />

and stroke. There is currently no<br />

known cure for any type of diabetes.<br />

Diabetes UK supporters will also<br />

be fundraising on the day, so any<br />

support you can offer will go towards<br />

vital work including research,<br />

campaigning, education and<br />

helpline.<br />

STAGS<br />

CHANGE<br />

SOCKS FOR<br />

DOWN’S<br />

SYNDROME<br />

AWARENESS<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football Club have<br />

designated today’s clash against<br />

<strong>Stevenage</strong> to support World Down’s<br />

Syndrome Day and will be wearing<br />

teal instead of amber socks this<br />

afternoon.<br />

The club have selected today’s match<br />

to show support ahead of Down’s<br />

Syndrome Awareness Week which<br />

begins on Monday.<br />

Down’s Syndrome is a genetic<br />

condition caused by having an extra<br />

chromosome 21 in some or all the<br />

body’s cells. Down’s Syndrome is<br />

marked by growth, developmental,<br />

and learning delays that vary from<br />

mild to severe.<br />

Stags are participating in the<br />

#LotsOfSocks campaign to raise<br />

awareness about Down’s Syndrome.<br />

#LotsOfSocks help us to get people<br />

talking on World Down Syndrome<br />

Day (WDSD), celebrated each year on<br />

21 March.<br />

The first team will change its colour of<br />

socks today as part of the campaign.<br />

If you would like to get involved, all<br />

you need to do is choose some socks<br />

that are going to get noticed - they<br />

might be mismatched socks or your<br />

craziest and most colourful socks,<br />

whatever takes your fancy!<br />

The 21st day of the 3rd month<br />

(March) signifies the uniqueness<br />

of the triplication of the 21st<br />

chromosome which causes Down’s<br />

Syndrome.<br />

Many of the members and supporters<br />

of Down’s Syndrome Association<br />

have gone above and beyond with<br />

their fundraising efforts. DSA still<br />

rely almost entirely on voluntary<br />

donations, big and small, and they<br />

are grateful for all contributions.<br />

Currently, Down’s Syndrome<br />

Association offer advice, information,<br />

support and resources about<br />

any aspect of living with Down’s<br />

syndrome including prenatal<br />

support, benefits, education,<br />

service provision, rights, health and<br />

well – being, speech, language and<br />

communication, complex and adult<br />

needs.<br />

They also aim to continue driving<br />

awareness about the condition by<br />

campaigning and continuing to make<br />

fundamental changes in our society.<br />

Down’s Syndrome Association has a<br />

clear message regarding inclusivity<br />

and ensuring everyone is a part of the<br />

community.<br />

“We’re all missing out if everyone<br />

isn’t included,” the organisation say.<br />

“We all love to belong and feel<br />

included. And after the last couple of<br />

years, it means more than ever.”<br />

The club is pleased to support<br />

Down’s Syndrome Association and<br />

supporters who wish to learn more<br />

THE<br />

ACADEMY<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong>’s under-18s<br />

defender, Darien Wauchope, reflects<br />

on the season so far from a personal<br />

and team standpoint...<br />

thought as a team we played<br />

I very well at the weekend against<br />

Huddersfield. We started slowly<br />

in the first 20 minutes, but we got<br />

back into the game and started<br />

to play our normal football. After<br />

that, we dominated the game,<br />

capitalised on our chances and<br />

scored five goals.<br />

The goals we scored were very good<br />

team goals. There were a lot of<br />

passes involved and we were very<br />

clinical against the opposition. We<br />

took our chances very well and took<br />

the lead. The goals we conceded<br />

were quite poor goals, but we can<br />

work on that in training.<br />

I am expecting it to be a<br />

tough game this weekend,<br />

as Bradford are always a<br />

good side. They are going<br />

to have good possession<br />

of the ball, but we have<br />

just got to stay compact,<br />

communicate and take our<br />

chances like we did against<br />

Huddersfield, and we will win<br />

the game.<br />

It was a great opportunity<br />

for me starting in the<br />

game against Leeds<br />

United under-23s. It<br />

was good for me and my<br />

development to come<br />

into that environment<br />

with the pro’s.<br />

It was a very big moment<br />

to play for the under-23s.<br />

It shows that the coaches<br />

have trust and faith in me at<br />

that high level. It gives me<br />

a lot of confidence in going<br />

forward to keep pushing in<br />

training and in matches.<br />

As a player, I feel as though I’ve<br />

improved a lot over the season. I<br />

feel that every aspect of my game<br />

has improved, and I have just got to<br />

keep improving in my second year<br />

and keep pushing to start for the<br />

under-23s.<br />

As a team, I think that we can try and<br />

push for a top-half finish. We’ve been<br />

unlucky in some games this season.<br />

The coaches are mostly made up of<br />

ex-professional players with a vast<br />

knowledge of the game, so they’ve<br />

taught me a lot. Being a defender,<br />

they’ve shown me a lot of things that<br />

I can do to improve as a player.<br />

I hope to get some clean sheets<br />

under my belt between now and the<br />

end of the season. We’ve conceded<br />

some sloppy goals, but we can work<br />

on it to earn more clean<br />

sheets.<br />

Ladies’ manager Andi Bell reflects<br />

on last weekend’s 5-1 victory over<br />

Rotherham and looks ahead to<br />

tomorrow afternoon’s County Cup<br />

semi final at home to Arnold Eagles…<br />

think we did really well against<br />

I Rotherham. Every game is a<br />

must-win for us at the moment and<br />

it adds a little bit of extra pressure,<br />

but we performed really well. We<br />

were a little bit sloppy for their<br />

goal, but I’m really pleased with<br />

the performance and we did what<br />

we needed to do.<br />

The atmosphere in the squad is really<br />

good. The girls have been fantastic all<br />

season in terms of wanting to learn<br />

and wanting to develop. We know we<br />

have to work hard, but every time we<br />

win, it gives us an incentive to win<br />

the next one. We are in a cup final, a<br />

semi-final of the County Cup and we<br />

are still in with a chance of the league<br />

title, so it is really exciting times in<br />

training and the group are raring to<br />

go.<br />

It is absolutely in our hands because<br />

of who we have played and who we<br />

haven’t played, and if we win our<br />

games, we will win the league. It is as<br />

simple as that.<br />

It is a much harder task than it<br />

sounds in theory. Two of the title<br />

challengers we have not played at<br />

all. We’ve probably got the toughest<br />

run-in out of everyone, but if we win<br />

all of our games, that is the league<br />

title for us.<br />

It is still do-able to win the league,<br />

but with only one going up from this<br />

league, it makes it really difficult. You<br />

could essentially drop a few points<br />

and you won’t go up, so it is a really<br />

hard league to get out of. It is in our<br />

hands, and I am not underestimating<br />

the hard games still to come which<br />

will put that added pressure on us.<br />

The pressure will be on us this<br />

weekend as we are playing<br />

opposition from a lower<br />

league in the County Cup,<br />

although they are doing<br />

really well in their<br />

league and looking<br />

for promotion into<br />

our league.<br />

It is another<br />

opportunity to get<br />

into a final, and I<br />

say to the players<br />

that there are not<br />

many opportunities<br />

to achieve this. We’ll<br />

be going all out, looking<br />

to put on a professional<br />

performance and get into<br />

another cup final.<br />

FOOTBALL IN THE<br />

COMMUNITY<br />

PARTICIPATE IN WORLD<br />

BOOK DAY<br />

<strong>Mansfield</strong> <strong>Town</strong> Football in the<br />

Community was actively involved<br />

in this year’s World Book Day on 03<br />

March, visiting several partnered<br />

schools across <strong>Mansfield</strong> and<br />

participating in activities with staff<br />

and Sammy the Stag. Football in<br />

the Community had the fantastic<br />

opportunity to join Parkgate<br />

Academy in the celebrations.<br />

The children loved meeting Sammy<br />

the Stag and took the chance to read<br />

their favourite books to him.<br />

After an engaging, interactive<br />

assembly, hosted by Robin Hood,<br />

WHO’S WHO<br />

the pupils enjoyed reading with the<br />

Football in the Community staff.<br />

Phoebe Eyre, assistant principal and<br />

key stage two (KS2) lead said: “They<br />

[the children] will just find that so<br />

exciting.<br />

“[It was] really engaging for them. It<br />

gives them a chance to practice their<br />

communication skills with a variety<br />

of people.”<br />

During their visits in the week,<br />

Football in the Community also<br />

distributed 300 books to partnered<br />

schools across <strong>Mansfield</strong> to help<br />

support young readers as part of<br />

the exciting partnership between<br />

Premier League Primary Stars and<br />

the National Literacy Trust.<br />

Premier League Primary Stars uses<br />

the appeal of the Premier League and<br />

professional football clubs to inspire<br />

children to learn, be active and<br />

develop important life skills.<br />

The programme was developed and<br />

is managed by the Premier League<br />

Charitable Fund, a funded charity<br />

that aims to create positive and<br />

lasting sporting, health and education<br />

outcomes for children, young people<br />

and the wider community.<br />

THE GOLDEN<br />

‘HIS STORY’<br />

ARCHIVE<br />

PROJECTING A PARADE OF GLORIOUS DAYS FROM<br />

THE WORLD’S OLDEST PROFESSIONAL GROUND.<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 />

Continuing the season with ‘His-<br />

Story’ is former defender Bobby<br />

Hassell, who made 181 appearances<br />

for the club and scored three goals,<br />

playing for the successful 2001-02<br />

team that won promotion to the<br />

Football League Second Division<br />

(3rd tier).<br />

can think of quite a few stories<br />

“I from my time at the club, but<br />

I’m pretty sure most of them are<br />

unprintable!<br />

ridiculed for my dress sense. It was<br />

also common for the players to staple<br />

or super-glue each other’s trainers to<br />

the changing room floor, and things<br />

like that.<br />

To give you an insight into the<br />

working week during our promotion<br />

winning season, it went something<br />

like this. We’d play Saturday and go<br />

out Saturday night, go out Sunday<br />

night, go out Monday night, go out<br />

Tuesday night, have Wednesday off,<br />

When Stuart Watkiss came in after<br />

Billy Dearden left, one of the first<br />

things he did was to take the squad<br />

away for a week to Portugal. Whilst<br />

there, training sessions had to be<br />

cancelled near enough every day<br />

because all the lads were drunk. It<br />

was funny because nobody could<br />

ever stand up, as we’d often only just<br />

got in from the night before and then<br />

gone straight to training. I’m sure<br />

they won’t mind me mentioning, but I<br />

particularly recall Liam Lawrence and<br />

Andy White falling over a lot!<br />

When we came back from Portugal,<br />

we played Southend (I think) and we<br />

battered them – bearing in mind we’d<br />

been on the ale all week too!<br />

The camaraderie between us all was<br />

really good and this was boosted by<br />

the fact we got promoted.<br />

We’d always be doing daft things, like<br />

cutting each other’s clothes up. I was<br />

a major target for this as I was always<br />

go out Thursday night! This was our<br />

general routine every week.<br />

Neil MacKenzie is probably the<br />

funniest player I’ve ever played with.<br />

On nights out in town he’d often wear<br />

a costume, and his favourite was his<br />

horse head helmet which he’d often<br />

wear. He got into trouble on a few<br />

occasions for singing and dancing on<br />

tables, and being too loud and leery,<br />

but once the police took off the horse<br />

head and realised who he was, he<br />

always got away with it.<br />

I really enjoyed my time at the<br />

club and – as it’s 20 years since our<br />

promotion season – the lads are<br />

looking to get together to mark the<br />

occasion. It would be extremely<br />

fitting if <strong>Mansfield</strong> was to be<br />

promoted this season too!”<br />

Front cover: To celebrate our<br />

125th year, each edition of The<br />

Stag this season will feature a<br />

different home shirt from our<br />

history on its cover. This kit,<br />

from 2003-04, is sponsored by<br />

Perry Electrical, who went on<br />

to sponsor the kit for the next<br />

four years. Garman and Carlotti<br />

would make different versions<br />

of the jersey within this time.<br />
