Impressed a Grimsby fan managed a post without mentioning “Lincoln” or “cowley” once.

Well done!

Mansfield are off to Portugal next week, go us.

 

[Dave-Vale]

We are playing a friendly away at Nuneaton Borough in a few weeks; a stadium our owner recently purchased.

We're doing something you'd all dream of, a pre season tour of the South West..

 

[Luke Imp]

First day back for us today and fly out to Spain on Sunday for a week.

Apparently Matt Rhead is gonna be used as a sunblock.

How is this different to the pre-season friendly thread?

I was on our club shop website the other day. I was amazed to find you could buy a trimmed Mansfield Town mobility scooter for just £1,790.

Neal Bishop has got to get around the One Call and your training facilities somehow...

I didn’t start it. It was doomed to start with let’s be honest*

* I didn’t actually look if there was one even though I’ve posted in it

Might go it’s only 20 minutes from me if we are sending the first team.

I was sceptical at first but if this thread unearths 24 League 2 branded mobility scooters, I fully apologise for questioning it!

Watching our main board go into complete meltdown not the accounts have been revealed is fun in a kinda sick way!!
The way they are carrying on we wont make the first friendly we will just spontaneously combust
They are a bloody mess (accounts not fans) mind

 

[Guernica]

Some of the levels of debt at clubs at this level are just reckless.

Akinde and rhead will have to sit on opposite ends of the plane to even it out.

 

[Guernica]

Rhead is looking very trim judging by the photos. He'll be running down those channels in no time.

Don't become TOSSER 2 mate.

We've been to Portugal the last 2 years, lost 2-0 to SC Farense last year, their fans had never heard of us which was ridiculous.

Anyway thought we'd really treat the
players this year so we're going to Exeter instead.

We’ve got someone equally random in pre-season, Dundee

Too late for me mate.

 

[shoddycollins]

We've got our first home friendly in about six years. That is all. It's against Bradford, can someone ask Firthy how many tickets they'll want for it?

 

[Gladders]

We have the best pre season tour of the lot.

A week in Warwick!

Encouraging noises coming out of the first week of pre-season. The players and the Bunn-Rhodes management team appear to be getting on very well, and it's starting to look like we'll be able to keep hold of our better players, less Craig Davies I suppose. Jack Byrne in particular seemed sure to go at one point, but now looks set I stay. Looks like he's bezzie mates with Baxter already, and I'm really looking forward to them two being in the same team.

Question marks remain over some off-pitch matters, and we could do with a few more players, especially up front, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

We definitely had at least one home friendly last preseason.

Behind closed doors? I'm not counting those.
