Nice one Les. Might have to take a look around the place tomorrow. Though the club membership might have expired!

I've had some great nights in Cleethorpes, albeit twenty years ago. We used to crash at my mates sisters on Rutland Street, in Grimsby, or I'd stop over at the squeezes on Thrunscoe Road. On the crawl would be: The Dolly (and the little place next door which I always forget), The Sub...

I still remember the words of my former Cleethorpes squeezes Mariners supporting old man, back in the nineties - "Mansfield has a football team do they?" Bah, wimmin and their bloomin dads.

The season has already upturned dramatically, as Adam says. A good run in this division can place you very quickly - perhaps Stevenage are the next club to take up the baton and go on a run? Expectations at Field Mill have climaxed to bursting point, such to the level that characters in the...

The disappointing thing, from an Accrington point of view, is that they were much the better side over the ninety, although their repeated play acting let them down. I think the Stags fans would have appreciated their all round good play, if they hadn't played up for an incredibly weak referee -...

Perhaps our fans will calm their skin a little. This team of ours is decent but we're a long way off the finished product. Our fans make me chuckle. We win a few games and we're world beaters, we have an off night and we're hopeless. They take schizophrenia to Fight Club type proportions. Just...

So, are you suggesting that we should just accept it when there's blatant cheating against our team because our manager likes a few of his own histrionics, or seven? Oh, okay, lesson learnt. Last night was like the Somme and it's a credit to all involved that the game finished with pulses...

Have you ever walked the dog past the park on a Sunday morning? When the defences look like it was a heavy night at Trev's stag-night? When the goalies pull off a miracle, and then drop one in their own net? When the ref is a total narcissist and is still reeling from his wife, of 20 years...

The council are sticking it in the Market Place, allowing the whole town to use it. That's what proper community clubs on the verge of greatness do. Only selfish clubs would whizz past the population from the top of a bus, with just a glimpse of the prize. This way the public can feel the cold...

It's been a good run. Let's try and get another one going after the Stanley defeat.

You weren't good, but no worse than several other sides we've seen this season. The bottom on the division is smattered with several really poor sides this season. It's been a case of Donny/Plymouth being consistently way better than anyone else; then about eight, inter-changing, scurrying...

If anyone is going to stomp on our momentum, it's Stanley, our number one bogey side. Win this and owt could happen. However, let's not get any expectations, hey?

Even pre-season friendlies are all ticket. It gets on our mammaries and sadly dents attendances, for home and away support. Many folks just can't be troubled with the fuckery of queuing twice, and it gives the half-hearted an easy excuse to not bother pitching up. However, the powers that be...

I stood on that Quarry Lane away terrace as a ball boy in about 83-84. Torquay being my particular favourite, when there wasn't a single away fan on it. And that was back in the day when we had the pull on tourists, what with the pits, heavy industry, the smell of the brewery and the...

My youngest girl and her Year 6 classmates have had the task of 'creating' the Bingham Pot. Young Kevin provided the toilet roll innereds, little Sara brought along the string, Samantha raided the blu-tak ball, Jimmy finished off the Fairy liquid for the bottle, and wee Colin in the wheelchair...

Eight year olds don't qualify for free at Field Mill, they're £10 - It's under 8s who are free. You have a point about the family ticket, however, not much good for my friend who occasionally brings her three kids. And totally useless, if like me, you started attending at 12 with your buddies...

So a "flat tenner" for an 8 year old? Adam, you're either doing alright financially or you're not a parent. This is Mansfield, one of the countries most financially deprived areas. Kids need encouragement to grasp on to them for life. I'd suggest that the price alone already puts off a huge...

If Colchester can do it, I'm pretty sure we all could. Well done them.

I do and it's outrageous. And folk wonder why our gates are shite. The more home and away youngsters the better for me (although if it was a fiver, then massive Grimbo - formerly of the old Division Two - would probably bring 100,000 stroppy teenagers, and then bang on about being...

Our kids prices have long been shameful. The boffin in me has written to Radford 3 times in 6 years about it. I've never received the dignity of a reply. As Adam points out, the club have made inroads with the family ticket; however, a teenager wanting to go with their pals, rather than an...
