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 />
