Forest refuse loan request for Grant.

When did Stags go into div. 1?

Haven't you read posts from the Stags fans on here?

They are so good, it's a mere formality.

Still, the egg would be well and truly on Alan Hardy's face if he's telling fans he's going to League One and ends up signing for Mansfield

To be fair to Hardy, he tweeted "We've asked and he's going to L1 apparently".

That suggests it was Forest saying he's going to L1 rather than Hardy.

They'd rather loan him to Basford Utd than us.

... was it AH asking for Grant or NA asking AH to ask about Grant - only one or both AH/NA know the answer to that. We don't need him anyway - his form for us eventually went to 2/10.

Which still makes him look like an idiot if he is being given the runaround by Forest

There's plenty of people at the club that would be aware of Grant, including Neal Ardley considering he played against his Wimbledon side last season so he should be on his radar regardless. He's a talented player with a recent history here so I wouldn't see it as Hardy trying to make signings if that's what you're alluding to.

Didn't he once say that Signing for Notts County was his worst decision he's ever made.

Pretty much every player, manager and owner would say the same.

Officially on twitter, Grant has signed on loan for Mansfield

Depends. If you get the Grant we had for the first half of his loan spell it will indeed be great news for you. If you get the Grant we had for the second half, you'll be wasting a wage.

Nolan and Notts in general dropped off the boil in that second half, not just Grant. In a winning side, like Notts were in that first half of the season, I think he'll do well. Everyone at Stags is enjoying their football at the moment, so the environment should help him thrive. Anyway, I'm delighted with the signing!
