Hardly worth the bother of hating, are they? I prefer to reserve that for Forest, even if they are 3 tiers above us.
I cannot say I'm really fussed about the Stags either way but I do think they deserve their promotion, I am certainly glad they have a crap ground because if we have another season like this one I can see our gates beginning to slide & given a better ground they would be in the perfect position to take advantage & a real gap could appear. As it stands both our main competitors are playing to capacity crowds which should help us hang onto, or if we have a good season, improve our gates with plenty of space, well done Stags & COYP

Thats not necessarily being mardy. I suspect the dislike would be just the same if positions were reversed.
Damn I thought we had signed another foreign gem, Aure Voir
I wouldn't and couldn't disagree with you that Mansfield are a better team than Notts. However, that wasn't my point, I have nothing to say to a Mansfield fan and there isn't anything I want to hear from one either. The same will go for Chesterfield as it does for Forest etc etc. I have to bite my tongue when I see a thread titled 'The other Notts' ( i suspect this is cricket? or is it Women's football?) but I do this as this a thread by Notts fans on a Notts site. Blinkered? Yes!, but not mardy.
TBh i think Mansfiled will be mid to lower table, but i think they probably gone as far as they are going too
I read a report recently that said most teams eventually return to L2 that are in L1, unless they get to the championship. I think it said only 7 teams have survived in L1 longer than 5 or 6 years , with the majority returning to L2
So the likely hood is Mansfield will remain in L1 for several years mid to lower table before dropping back
But they builded a squad over 11 years, so cant fault them they eventually got promotion, fair play
The qustion is can we do better?? Get to L1 in less tahn 11 years
