📅Pre-Match Build-Up Thread: Mansfield Town FC 03.02.24 [EFL L2]

Clough has always got our number on this one.He'll just tell his players to get in our faces and it could be embarrasing.

Maynard was always a bit negative away from home when he was at Wealdstone so don't expect anything other than 3 points for the Stags.

We have got to attack them and not sit back.

If we sit back we'll definitely lose comfortably, if we attack it needs to be a sensible approach by getting the ball in their half quickly then we keep possession and if we can do that their fans will get nervous and on their backs.

Reminder from the club about fan behaviour...

"Ahead of Saturday’s Nottinghamshire Derby, we would like to remind supporters of their obligation to act responsibility when attending our matches.

The club has unfortunately received several letters from the FA this season relating to the conduct of a small number of fans at home and away fixtures.

As a result of swift and effective retrospective action, we have successfully defended most charges. However, the frequency of incidents being reported is becoming a concern and, with one of the most eagerly anticipated matches of the season now on the horizon, we’re calling on all our supporters to enjoy the occasion in the right way.

In December, we shared a statement from the EFL, FA and Premier League relating to fan behaviour. We continue to support their words, which are repeated below.

Nobody should be at risk of harm at a football match. Tough measures and sanctions are in place across all English football leagues to tackle dangerous and illegal behaviours within football grounds, such as discriminatory behaviour, entering the pitch, using pyros and throwing objects.

The very small number of individuals who engage in these acts are reminded that identification could lead to automatic club bans and police action. 

EFL chief executive Trevor Birch said: “Unfortunately, there have been several incidents in recent matches, caused by a small minority of spectators, which have been dangerous and affect the safety of everybody.

"We want supporters to be able to create a positive and supportive atmosphere and work with clubs to help stamp out the behaviour which is damaging to the safety and enjoyment of others.

"Our game is famous for supporters creating a passionate and emotional atmosphere, but it should not be to the detriment, safety and enjoyment of others. The football authorities, clubs and police are united in their efforts to clamp down on this unwanted behaviour.

"Please respect others' wishes to experience football in a safe and enjoyable environment.”

Love football, protect the game."

It aways just the same idiots that cause the problems - the problem is, they are such idiots that they don't even realise that they ARE the idiots causing the problem (if that makes sense)

They know, they just don't care and are probably so useless in every other facet of their lives they revel in actually having an impact on someone especially if it's negative and feeling part of a gang / group.

Bunch of coked up morons and we're not alone - every club has their own and if they weren't being tits at Notts they'd be doing it in a spoons near you.
