Mansfield Town chairman John Radford has revealed that the club will drop admission charges for under-18s to £1 for the next three home matches – Accrington Stanley on Saturday, Stevenage on 9th January and Luton Town on 23rd.

He announced the news at half-time in Monday’s 1-1 draw with York City, saying the club had ambitions for promotion this season and wanted to give manager Adam Murray every chance of leading the club into League One.

Fans aged 7-17 must pre-purchase their ticket in person at the ticket office to be entitled to this super-saving ticket.

Identification of age must be produced upon purchase at the ticket office on Quarry Lane. Tickets purchased on a matchday by under 17s will increase to £3.

Supporters are reminded that fans aged under seven are still admitted into One Call Stadium for FREE for every home league game this season, when accompanied by a paying adult.

Supporters aged 17 and under who have already purchased tickets at full price for the matches can exchange their ticket for any home league game this season.

Manager Adam Murray encouraged the young people of Mansfield to take full advantage of the offer.

“We need the next generation of Stags’ fans to fill the seats at One Call Stadium and need them to make some noise and support their local club,” said Murray.

“The offer which the chairman has made available is a unique opportunity at a professional club at this level.

“Come and enjoy the atmosphere, a good brand of football and a team that is chasing success and one which is on the up.

“We want you to be a part of the future of Mansfield Town. Be a part of a club which is moving forward rapidly.

“We are striving for success here. Now we need the Town to jump on board.”
