Mansfield Town

Supporters should be aware that seats in certain blocks of the Ian Greaves Stand will be unavailable from the start of the 2016-17 season.

Seats in blocks J, Q and R of the Ian Greaves Upper Tier will be unobtainable from the start of 2016-17 in a move which will save the club money and help further improve the atmosphere inside One Call Stadium.

Seats in the aforementioned blocks will be accessible for the forthcoming season (2015-16), however, season ticket holders who currently occupy these seats should be mindful that they will be asked to relocate at the start of 2016-17.

A Mansfield Town spokesman said:  “It is a sensible decision to close these areas of the ground, as it will help reduce costs in policing, stewarding and staffing.

“The club were eager to give supporters as much notice as possible regarding this decision and that is why we have delayed implementing this by a further year.

“Season ticket holders who renew in the seats mentioned can do so for this season, but will be reminded by ticket office staff upon renewal that these seats will be unavailable from 2016-17.

“We hope that our supporters will understand the reasons for this decision, and by giving such advanced notice, this should cause minimal disruption.”
