To avoid upsetting the promotion thread further as it seems next weekends game is spilling into it quite a lot. I thought to get this thread up and running early.

Quite a big game we have on our hands here, Notts regaining a little form whilst Mansfield have dropped off under their new manager. But its a local derby and as always could be any score.
There is a lot a stake as it will mean a 6 point gap from Mansfield with them having a game in hand. A defeat of 3 goals or more would take the Stags above Notts on goal difference and set them up nicely.
A defeat for either wouldn't be the end of the world but it will certainly make any chance of the top 3 very much more difficult.
For once I think Notts WILL be up for it this time!

I'll go as far as to say the loser won't go up automatically, I think it's that big a game for both teams.
Six pointers are perhaps an over used cliche but this really is one. It really is going to be one of those utter despair or utter joy moments at full time on Saturday. Maybe it's just me but it feels like a season defining game.

I must admit even thinking about it now is making me nervous, its that big a game.
I don't know why but have a feeling that this time Notts will show for it.

Please stick to the football,never compare Mansfield to Nottingham ! RSF

We never show up for this, we won’t again
We all know how this goes. Stags fans will say they aren’t playing well, say it’s about time Notts win, and state they will lose.... and then don’t

It’s that simple

It'll be tough for any loser to get to the top 3 that's for sure.

It's not gonna be terminal though. Will still be 8 games to go. All of them look must win, but this weekend was a good example of twists and turns.

We have been written off so many times this season. If we lose Saturday people will continue saying it, but if we win, we still won't be seen as favourites. Funny old game...

Regardless of the (inevitable) result, this top League 2 battle should attract the 3rd largest attendance of the season at Meadow Lane, and at full prices. Ker-ching for the owner :)

Sounds like Mansfield aren't expecting to break the 4k mark this time around. Possibly the early kick off has deterred some people?

We are fickle. In all seriousness we usually bring between 3500/3800 I think? Only once have I known us top 4k. No excuses for not taking more than what we did last season mind considering how important this game is.

Looking forward to this a lot more than I was three weeks ago. But still expecting a defeat!

We have dropped off in form, It started in Evans last game but to be fair we still have avoided defeat despite playing poorly.

I’m not confident at all, County have not beaten Mansfield in what feels like a lifetime and runs like this always come to a end.

Best place to park to get good getaway after the game? Not decided if I’m driving or catching the train yet.

Hardy will be thankful for the gate considering the 1.6m gap in funding.

There it is folks lol, thank you Conker for the usual ‘out of form / winless run must end’ pre match comments lol. It wouldn’t be right if this wasn’t part of the build up.

£1.6m gap in funding you say? That’s interesting that’s pretty much the figure he is spending on extending the hotel at his very profitable Golf and Wedding Complex at Cotgrave. Hmmmmm.

All funds from the away end greatly received as always , the target for MTFCs ‘Big Day Out’ is 3888, that would be one more person than home fans that attended Saturday’s Colchester game. :2thumb:

Yeah - Hardy has changed his tune now saying he expects 13k plus.

Hopefully there's a few more chances than there was in the Brian Clough derby

Anything over a 13,000 gate, would be impressive.
Shame we tend not to perform well in front of big crowds like this

There was more chances in that game than what we’ve created in our last 3! :lol:

I was defending Mansfield form, actually from comments made by a Notts County fan.

Forget the £1.6m funding gap, we’re offering the entire gate receipts from this straight to Diego Capel.

That must have been a publicity stunt though?

Our last 3 have ended 1-1. Can't see any reason why that trend won't continue. We just seem completely incapable of holding on to a lead.

Yup these canny stagets know what to say pre game, and I would do the same.

But stats say that we never win the local derby, and we won’t yet again. I’m betting on an away win. Flitcrofts first for Mansfield

Stags have sold 4k. Another 500 left.

Isn't that your biggest home attendance of the season?

Jokes aside, should make for a good atmosphere

:lol:

It will indeed. Having missed the Crewe game and huge L2 crowd, I’m looking forward to a nice healthy five figure crowd at the Lane. With a fair wind could be the 2nd highest home attendance of the season. More likely 3rd

Not far, there were 5428 home fans for our latest home win over you back in the autumn.
