Congratulations and well done Masfield

Fully deserved.

Make a good job of it up there will you

 

[Richard Cranium]

Forgot what one of these promotions feels like

 

[EnglishRed]

Yeah well done Mansfield. Glad you got over your wobble and got it over the line, you deserve it from the season as a whole.

Congratulations to the Stags.

Best team I've seen this season at Valley Parade by some distance.

Could do with Crawley going up via playoffs now, a team we can never seem to beat, did the double on us this season for example

Anything other than promotion would have been catastrophic failure considering their budget. Bookies had them top 3 etc....



....congratulations.

Never realised the board was full of poetry lovers: https://allpoetry.com/John-Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
​

We must go down to the National League again, which is hardly the same, but well done Stags.

Thanks guys. Brilliant effort to get up with the teams in this league etc, one of the hardest league 2s i can remember

Think you’ll still be stuck with mansfield fans on this forum for a while though, we’ve had 11 years of league 2, will be a bit lost!

Congrats

Well done Mansfield, chuffed after our final a couple of years ago and the class shown that you've managed to make it up. Shame we are swapping places but wish you the best of luck in challenging next season and the big games you'll have.

Congrats Stags, after a few years of knocking on the door, it's finally opened for you. Good luck up there, don't follow our example and you'll be fine.

I think being honest we should be a decent example/template for most on this division.

We’re not the biggest of sides, but with consistency you can build and push for promotion which we’ve done, and kept calm when it’s not gone right the first time.

Obviously the division line up isn’t complete for next season but i don’t see any clear front runner/favourite so could be anyone’s.

Well done Stags, make a good job of it in league 1

Agree with this....."with consistency you can build and push for promotion which we’ve done, and kept calm when it’s not gone right the first time."

So many football fans could learn from this. Plenty of calls for Nigel to be sacked at Mansfield during his time there, even last season. But not panicking and building towards medium/long term aims is key for me.

Unless you've got a shit tonne of money compared to everyone else then **** it overspend on transfer fees, wages and take the easy shortcut to success.

Amazing job by Lord Clough to achieve automatic promotion on a pittance play-off budget
