  • I visited Field Mill which is the oldest continually used stadium in the EFL! It's home to Mansfield Town FC who currently compete in League 2.

    I used to be a matchday steward at Crawley. Without a doubt, the Mansfield Town fans were the nicest bunch of supporters I ever had to look after.

    Played and scored there in the early 1960s for Ipswich Reserves against Mansfield Reserves.

    This is my local club and my local area so nice to see someone doing a video on them. Hopefully we can get promotion this year

    I was at that game at Wembley in 1987 supporting Bristol City. Remember the penalty shoot out and how nice and friendly the Mansfield fans were.

    My Grandad is a lifelong Mansfield supporter and used to bring me along to almost every home game when I was younger. The atmosphere is always a good one and I'm sure we'll find success under Cloughie. Can't wait to take my young boys when they're a bit older.

    These debates are open to semantics, for example what is the definition of a ground. In its earliest guise Field Mill wasn’t a ground or stadium, it was just a recreational field where teams used to play football, like the local park. However Bramall Lane was a proper sports enclosure with fences mainly used to host cricket with the odd big football game played there.

    Nice to see you getting a good look aroud an EFL side's ground and have a good chat with one of the staff - can't see that happening too often at aChampionship club at definitely not in the elite Premier League !

    Mansfield is a decent place, the people I know there are good folks and it’s great to see the stadium. They’ve got a good manager with Nigel, he’ll improve them AND look after the finances at the same time. Decent bloke!

    I remember in the 1970s going to an anglo Scottish cup tie Mansfield vs partick thistle. I think thistle won 1-0 at firhill bout Mansfield won the leg 3-2. I wish they would bring back the tournament nothing like travelling 100s of miles on a old wet night to watch your team lose. Now I’m experiencing that feeling as an Oldham fan.

    An exciting bit of football history; there Sam. I have never been to Mansfield nor worked; at a game where Mansfield played. I have heard that they have a tremendous fan base that is very respectful towards opposition supporters. I heard the majority stayed on and clapped my team Forest Green Rovers when they clinched the League 2 title their last season.
