Mansfield tickets

[marky]

A sell out would presumably be whatever the crowd was for the Forest PSF match.

I know, that’s what I thought too….should be simple right. I love the club, and don’t really like to moan, but whenever I’ve rang the ticket office or gone into the club shop (not on a match day) the people in there are about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

I rang the ticket office before posting on here and was told that only people with purchase history are allowed to buy tickets….and then only one each, hence my predicament. I thought the same, that they’d be able to do something….anything…so we’d be able to sit together, but apparantly not. They’re not rude or anything, just inept.

When my son normally comes I buy him a ticket and when we get there just find two empty seats together just before kickoff because it’s not normally a problem….but Mansfield obviously will be.

I've bought 4 tickets for Swindon and 2 for Mansfield

Many times? Ocassionally it has been, but not to the extent of ever allowing Notts fans to buy S/T's in there and make it an actual "shared stand", the likes of which you see all over the Country at many different levels? Maybe the club doesn't think that it needs to, ATMIT?

I would say Notts don't do that because they don't want to employ more staff and the other costs associated with it, but its at what point does/will the home attendances mean that has to happen ?
There were 10,200 home fans on Saturday I would say approx 12,000 and then the JS will be opened

3,888 available for the Stags fans according to Stagsnet.

I thought the original capacity was 20,000 but now seems to be around 16,500. Is the Sirrel stand only allowed to be less than half full because that seems to be where the 3,500ish lost capacity seems to be.
Seems a shame not to be able to get 18,000 in when there's still 2,000 spare seats.
I also wonder if there's a chance the council would allow us to build the Sirrel stand boundary wall 1.5 - 2m out on to the pretty wide pavement to widen the concourses under the stand that seems to be the problem with the stand.

Looks like being a sell out which is a fantastic effort for L2.

I think the County Road stand originally held around 5400 when it was built, and the MKM sponsorship banners take up around 1500 seats, so 3888 sounds about spot on for maximum.
I don’t remember where the other 2K went from the original capacity though.

Not many tickets left in the Kop.
So unless they start selling the front 3 rows I doubt there will be any left in the Kop by lunchtime tomorrow.

The JS can take 5775 (less if shared due to seats lost to the segregation buffer), but the club has to jump through extra hoops if it exceeds 4400. The Club Safety Officer sets a maximum limit on a match by match basis, which can be lower. The main issue has long been the narrow concourse, with the refreshment areas. In theory the club could still sell 20k.
