JOHN RADFORD 

Welcome to Dale Vince, Forest 

Green’s chairman, to One Call 

Stadium for this afternoon’s match. 

A special welcome to all of our 

supporters for today’s final match of 

the regular 46-league game season. 

Carolyn and I were greatly heartened 

to see this match sell out in the home 

ends earlier this week. We know 

how much this club and its progress 

means to so many of you and our 

players will be giving everything they 

have to finish as high as possible in 

the league table. 

In many ways, this has been a season 

like no other; from the long-awaited 

return of supporters to football stadia 

in August following the COVID-19 

pandemic, to our difficult run of 

results earlier in the campaign, 

followed by a remarkable turnaround 

which saw a brilliant FA Cup run - and 

more importantly - our rise in the Sky 

Bet League Two table. 

There have been many memorable 

moments to enjoy this season and I 

know that we have the desire, hunger 

and quality within our club to write 

one final, special chapter in this 

extraordinary season. 

Whatever transpires, I have been 

gladdened to see our club remain 

united throughout this season, 

through the tough periods and the 

more enjoyable moments – that is 

the true measure of a good football 

club. I know that this unity of spirit 

and purpose - which has been at the 

heart of our club since the curtain 

raised on this season in August - will 

remain until the very end, whenever 

that may be. 

Thank you to you all, most sincerely, 

for your dedicated and unwavering 

support. 

It’s time for us to make one final 

push, together. 

COYS!!!

CLOUGH 

Welcome to Forest Green 

very good, especially the first four 

Rovers’ head coach Rob 

performances. Our match away at 

Edwards, along with the staff, 

Northampton was the only game in 

players and supporters from 

which we haven’t performed out of 

Gloucestershire to One Call 

45 matches. 

Stadium for this afternoon’s match. 

To go on the run we did without 

Our congratulations are extended 

winning and then embark on a 

to Rob and everyone at The Fully 

winning streak of fixtures - as well as 

Charged New Lawn on their 

recording 13 home league wins from 

promotion to League One amidst an 

14 - is quite remarkable. 

excellent campaign. 

First and foremost, I’d like to place on 

record our gratitude and best wishes 

to Mike Whitlow who is set to retire 

from his role as player development 

phase coach in the Academy. We 

all regard Mike as a proper football 

man who has been instrumental in 

the progress which the Academy 

has made, especially since its base 

moved to the RH Academy. We wish 

him all the best for the future. 

Monday’s 2-2 draw at Salford saw us 

reach 76 points in the League Two 

table – equalling the club’s highest 

points’ tally in the EFL in 20 years. 

The match itself saw us respond 

magnificently to conceding a poor 

early goal and we were very good for 

30 minutes thereafter. We deserved 

our equaliser and should have scored 

before with Matty Longstaff‘s chance 

at the far post. 

We all know that there are many 

permutations and possibilities at 

stake today, but all we will do is 

concentrate on the match ahead of 

us. 

To be in the position we are now, 

given our run earlier on in the season, 

is quite remarkable. 

The way we started the season was 

It’s been an extremely exciting season 

and we’re still in there and fighting. 

We’ll be endeavouring to keep our 

performance levels as high possible 

again this afternoon. 

Let’s finish the regular 46-league 

game season on a high. 

Enjoy the game.

STAGS 

WELCOME NEW 

COMMERCIAL 

EXECUTIVE 

Mansfield Town is pleased to 

announce former Alfreton Town 

chief executive Michael Bradley 

as the club’s new commercial 

executive. 

Michael succeeds Ian Deakin in the 

position, who had joined the club on 

an interim basis until the end of April. 

Michael, who has a wealth of 

experience in sales and marketing, 

said: “I’m really excited to be given 

the opportunity to join a club that 

is clearly going places and with big 

ambitions. 

“I have a really good feeling that I’m 

joining the club at the right time and 

there’s such a buzz about the place at 

the moment. 

“I already have a handful of new 

businesses that are set to partner 

with the club, who I’ve met and 

CLUB PAYS 

TRIBUTE TO 

SUPPORTER 

The club sends its regards and best 

wishes to the family of Elizabeth 

‘Liz’ Williams as we remember 

one of Mansfield’s most avid 

supporters who sadly passed away 

earlier this year. 

Elizabeth was born in Mansfield 

in 1983. From an early age she 

accompanied her dad, Paul, to see 

the Stags and throughout her life she 

was a keen supporter of the club. 

Elizabeth loved to travel and 

shown around the stadium. Like so 

many in the town of Mansfield, they 

are excited about the prospect of 

being a part of what we are trying to 

achieve here. 

“I’m very much looking forward 

to working with the club’s existing 

partners, which have been forged 

so strongly in recent years, and 

visited many countries around 

the world. She once travelled by 

bus from London to Australia. At 

various places of interest she had 

her photograph taken – such as 

the Taj Mahal in India - wearing her 

Mansfield Town shirt. Wherever she 

was in the world she would make 

contact with her family to ask about 

the details of that day’s match. 

I’m aiming to compliment that by 

attracting new, local and national 

businesses to Mansfield Town 

Football Club.” 

Michael can be contacted via e-mail 

michael.bradley@mansfieldtown. 

net or telephone – 01623 482 482 

(option 3). 

Liz and her husband, Martin, finally 

settled in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 

where she taught English. 

Liz’s sister Steph told The Stag: 

“Liz’s students were mainly 

interested in the big-name 

teams, but Liz would always 

make mention of how Mansfield 

had performed whenever the 

opportunity arose. 

“Sadly, Liz passed away earlier 

this year from COVID, aged 38. 

From the hundreds of tributes 

received from the countless people 

of many nationalities whose lives 

she touched, you can be sure that 

a little bit of MTFC will forever be 

dotted all around the world.” 


STAGS LAUNCH STYLISH NEW AWAY KIT 

The Stags showed off their new 

away colours in Monday’s Bank 

Holiday clash against Salford 

City. The club’s stylish away kit was 

modelled by key men Rhys Oates, 

Stephen McLaughlin and James 

Perch ahead of the amber and blue’s 

visit to the Peninsula Stadium. 

The new sky blue strip – which is 

set to go on sale to supporters this 

summer – will be the Stags’ official 

away kit for the 2022-23 season. 

Sponsored by OCL Solicitors and 

manufactured by Surridge Sport, the 

new away shirt features the latest in 

breathable performance fabric using 

Vapadri moisture-wicking material. 

Surridge Sport have added a new 

back neck buggy which features a 

black and white image of One Call 

Stadium whilst also embellishing 

‘Stags’ into the tail of the shirt for 

extra detail. 

Featuring ribbed neck and sleeve 

cuffs whilst also utilising the latest 

in crest technology application, the 

new away shirt is sure to be a hit with 

fans.

Full-back named as Player of the Month 

Full-back Stephen McLaughlin has 

been crowned the Stags’ Player of 

the Month for April. 

Mansfield’s number three was 

instrumental at both ends of the 

pitch in a crucial month for the club. 

The Irishman started six of the Stags’ 

decisive Sky Bet League Two fixtures, 

helping the club to four important 

victories in that time. 

McLaughlin influenced Stags’ 

strong defensive record in April. 

The left-back played a key role in 

the team’s victory-clinching clean 

sheets against Northampton Town, 

Scunthorpe United, Crawley Town 

and Stevenage. 

The former Nottingham Forest 

man sparkled for Mansfield in 

the impressive 4-0 victory over 

Scunthorpe on 09 April. The 

defender doubled Mansfield’s 

lead in the 32nd minute with a 

smart reaction finish from inside 

the six-yard box. McLaughlin then 

Midfielder 

secures 

Stags’ Goal 

of the Month 

Mansfield Town midfielder Ryan 

Stirk has won the Stags’ Goal of the 

Month for April. 

The 21-year-old’s fine finish in the 

Stags’ ruthless 4-0 triumph over 

Scunthorpe United was voted as 

Mansfield’s best of the month. 

With the amber and blue 2-0 up at 

Sands Venue Stadium, Stirk picked 

the ball up from outside the box 

and drove past two Scunthorpe 

defenders before burying a driven 

finish into the bottom right corner on 

38 minutes. 

The youngster’s strike put the Stags 

into a three goal lead at half-time 

teed up Ryan Stirk six minutes later 

for Mansfield’s third before being 

withdrawn due to injury shortly 

before half-time. 

The 31-year-old soon recovered from 

his hamstring injury and he helped 

Stags to achieve back-to-back 2-0 

home victories at the end of the 

month. In Mansfield’s 2-0 win over 

Crawley at One Call Stadium, the 

which helped the team to an 

important victory, sending Mansfield 

up to fourth place in the Sky Bet 

League Two table. 

The Birmingham City loanee 

received 67% of the fan-lead vote, 

Jamie Murphy’s 26th minute 

strike at home to Crawley Town 

achieved second place (16%) and 

Stephen Quinn’s goal from range 

for Mansfield’s fourth against 

Scunthorpe finished third (5.8%). 

full-back cleverly assisted Lucas 

Akins for Mansfield’s second goal. 

The defender recorded 30.4% of the 

supporters’ vote, finishing ahead of 

second place George Maris (24.2%) 

and third place James Perch (9.3%). 

Thank you to everyone who 

participated in the vote. 

Happy birthday, 

Brian. 

The club sends its birthday wishes 

to lifelong supporter Brian Payne, 

who turns 70-years-old on Friday 

13 May. A supporter for 65 years, 

the club wishes Brian a very happy 

birthday along with his loved 

ones: June, Katie, Liam, Gracie and 

Maisie.

THE 

ACADEMY 

Mansfield Town under-18s’ defender 

Taylor Anderson had his season 

cut short due to a knee injury, but 

reflects positively on the youth 

team’s performances this season… 

My season was cut short by 

about three months when I 

sustained my injury, but the team 

has done really well as a whole. 

They have had a couple of losses, 

but I think since that big loss against 

Bradford, they have done really well. 

They participated in the tournament 

at Brooke House College and lost 

out in the final but still did Mansfield 

proud. 

Personally, I thought I started the 

season very well. I scored a goal 

against Burton Albion, and we won 

the fixture. We then went through 

a rough patch midway through the 

season. I thought that I dropped my 

standards a little bit, but I raised 

them once again and started playing 

well until I sustained my injury. 

Physically, I feel a lot stronger now 

as I have been working in the gym 

quite a lot and had a lot of time to 

work on my fitness and my physique. 

Mentally, I have dealt with the injury 

very well as the club has been there 

to support me. Neil Bainbridge [head 

of academy operations] has helped 

me alongside all the physios who 

have been there to check whether 

I am all right and offering all the 

support they could. 

Hopefully, I should be back for the 

start of next season so I will be ready 

to go 100% straight into tackling the 

season, enjoying it and hopefully 

doing well. 

Signing a professional deal in 

November meant a lot. It is a dream 

come true for a young kid coming 

through the academy and signing 

as a pro. Usually, you hear about 

it, but to actually do it is an unreal 

experience, a real dream come true. 

On the back of my previous injury 

last season, I approached this one 

with a lot of positivity. There is no 

point getting down about it because 

there is nothing you can do about 

it. I have just been positive the 

whole time and hoping that 

I come back stronger after 

this injury. 

Looking ahead, I’ve been 

advised to keep doing 

the exercises that they 

tell me to do on my 

knee, even if it is not 

hurting. Just keep doing 

those exercises to keep 

the knee strong and 

make sure that this sort 

of injury does not happen 

again in the future.

Mansfield Town ladies’ manager 

Andi Bell looks ahead to an exciting 

couple of games for her side, 

beginning with the final game 

of the league season against 

Loughborough on Sunday 08 May 

(2pm kick-off)… 

In both Northampton games, we 

went toe-to-toe with the team 

who will become champions of 

this league. 

In last Sunday’s game, we lost 2-0, 

which was similar to the home game 

a few days earlier. It was 0-0 for a 

good 65 minutes, but unfortunately, 

we lost our main goalkeeper and one 

of our centre-halves sustained an 

injury. 

Then, our stand-in ‘keeper could not 

carry on, and if we did not have to 

make that substitution we certainly 

would have got something out of that 

game. 

I said to the girls after the game that 

you cannot legislate for things like 

that, and things were just not meant 

to be. 

A lot of things have happened to 

us with injuries, particularly to our 

goalkeeper that are just unlucky. 

That is just sometimes how it goes 

and that is the little bit of luck that 

you get when you are up there like 

Northampton are. 

There are still things we need to 

improve as a team, and people will 

be wanting to play for their place 

in the starting line-up as I am sure 

everyone will be, but there are plenty 

of things to work on. 

Going forward, we have a couple of 

exciting games to look forward to, 

and Sunday’s game will be another 

chance for players to stake their 

claim for a starting place in the cup 

final of the County Cup and the 

League Plate. 

Overall, I think we have done very 

well this season, with the last two 

campaigns being curtailed. With a 

couple of the poorer sides dropping 

out, every game has had something 

to it. Psychologically, the pressure 

has been really high, but we have 

done well. 

Consistency and taking our 

chances are the two main 

lessons from the season, but 

we have done well overall. 

We will give it our all 

against Loughborough 

in the final league game 

of the season as we have 

with every other game 

this season. If we can get 

any momentum heading 

into those cup finals, it will be 

positive for us. 


FITC REFLECT ON SUCCESSFUL SATURDAY 

STAY ALL DAY CLUB 

Mansfield Town has enjoyed a magnificent campaign this season, 

and the support has been excellent. Every home game, Mansfield 

Town Football in the Community run a Saturday Stay All Day club 

– the season for which has now come to an end. 

Participants of the club have enjoyed football activities for two hours 

on the 3G pitch outside the ground, supervised by our expert coaches. 

From there, there is time for a quick bite to eat whilst they wait in the 

stands for the big kick-off with the staff. After the game is finished, 

parents then collect their children at the Community office at 5pm. 

The number of participants has been at an all-time high for the 

Saturday Clubs this season which is great to see as Football in the 

Community continue to push support for the Stags at an early age. 

The price for attending the Saturday Stay All Day clubs when they’re 

up and running again is £17 for non-junior SSA members and £12 for 

members. 

With the season coming to a close, today marks the last day of 

the Saturday Stay All Day club, but we will continue to deliver the 

Saturday Morning club until the new season begins. When the Stags 

are not playing at home, the Saturday Morning club runs from 10am- 

12pm, costing just £4. Participants have the chance to play football 

and enjoy fun-filled activities on the 3G pitch under the guidance of 

coaches. 

Mansfield Town Football in the Community would like to thank 

everyone who has attended the Saturday clubs throughout the year. 

Community manager Gary Shaw has been impressed with the level of 

enthusiasm and support the participants have shown at the games. 

“We’ve had so much fun throughout the season this year running 

these Stay All Day clubs,” he said. 

“We’ve had high numbers for every home game this year, and we look 

forward to welcoming everyone back in the new season, hopefully in 

a new division!” 

Keep an eye out for Mansfield Town Football in the Community’s 

holiday clubs with one coming up at the end of May.

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. 

Continuing the season with 

‘His-Story’ is former goalkeeper 

Ian Bowling, who made 172 

appearances for the club from 1995 

to 2000. 

here are a couple of stories 

“Tthat spring to mind from 

my time at the club. We had a good 

team spirit at Mansfield – a good 

bunch of lads with no egos, who 

always stuck together. 

One pre-season, under Steve Parkin, 

we went to Ireland. We were based 

in the middle of nowhere. There was 

just one long street, a market square, 

with a number of pubs. Steve told us 

to go out for a pint on the night we 

got there so, of course, we did. 

We ventured into this first pub (a 

squad of 17 of us), and it was like one 

of those typical village scenarios – 

with everyone stopping what they 

were doing and looking at us as we 

ventured through the front door. 

Anyway, we went to the bar and 

as we were in Ireland, we ordered 

a round of Guinness. The landlord 

served us – one of the lads went to 

pick his up and the landlord stopped 

him, saying it wasn’t ready yet – that 

you have to tap the glass 

with an Irish pound, and 

it’s ready only when it 

makes a certain noise. 

We all stood there 

tapping our pints and 

Steve Harper said his 

wasn’t ready, telling the 

landlord he thought there 

was something wrong 

with his drink as it was 

making a different sound 

to everybody else’s. The 

landlord swiftly picked 

Steve’s pint up, looked 

at it, took a sip … and 

proceeded to neck 

it all! He then put it 

down before walking away saying 

“Mmm, nothing wrong with that pal!”. 

We were all laughing as Harper was 

stood raging, left without a pint! 

There was another time we went out, 

around Christmas one year. This was 

when Brian ‘Killer’ Kilcline was at the 

club. Every day Brian would turn up 

to training dressed in sports jacket, 

collar and tie, whilst everyone else 

would be in jeans or tracksuit. 

Anyway, someone said that at 

Christmas we should all go out 

dressed as ‘Killer’ - which we did! So, 

this one year, we’d all gone to the 

local charity shops and bought some 

garish jackets, ties and shirts – all 

typical of the type Brian would wear. 

After training, Killer was in the 

dressing room on his own and then 

we all walked in. As you can imagine, 

Brian wasn’t expecting the sight of us 

all dressed like him – but he took it in 

his stride and he blended in perfectly! 

It was all good fun.”

Front cover: To celebrate our 

125th year, each edition of The Stag 

this season will feature a different 

home shirt from our history on 

its cover. Sponsored by One Call 

Insurance and manufactured by 

Surridge, this kit from 2017-2019 

was designed by 11-year-old 

Stags’ fan Jake Martin following 

a competition organised by the 

Football in the Community.
