The Stags begin their 2021/22 Sky Bet League Two campaign at home to Bristol Rovers on Saturday 07 August (3pm kick-off). Here’s all you need to know ahead of the match…
Please read these special notices, which include COVID-19 safety guidelines, before attending Saturday's match at One Call Stadium:
- Proof of a negative test or double vaccination is not required for Saturday's game
- Please do not attend the match if you’re experiencing symptoms of COVID-19
- Sanitiser will be available throughout the stadium
- All of our staff will be wearing masks for their own safety but also the safety of our supporters
- We encourage mask wearing whilst not seated
- Please respect others by keeping a safe distance especially within toilet areas, queuing and on the concourse
- Kiosks will be open, along with Sandy's Bar & Kitchen and the fans' zone (both from 12noon)
- Please arrive with plenty of time ahead of kick-off
- We ask our supporters to refrain from asking players/management for photographs/autographs
Midfielder Harry Charsley will likely miss the game due to a thigh problem. Aside from this, boss Nigel Clough has a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s big kick-off.
The Stags had a strong start and end to their pre-season campaign. Nigel Clough’s side recorded a 9-1 win over Retford United in the opening game of pre-season, before ending their schedule with victories over Sky Bet Championship sides Hull City and Coventry City.
Saturday’s opponents also enjoyed a pleasing end to their pre-season campaign, winning 3-2 at home against Sky Bet League One side Oxford United.
We last faced the Gas back in March 2016, when a Matt Taylor goal would be enough to secure a 1-0 win for the home side at the Memorial Stadium.
It was a season to remember for Bristol Rovers, as they earned promotion to Sky Bet League One via the automatic places.
The referee for Saturday’s match will be Joshua Smith, assisted by Marc Wilson and Natalie Aspinall. The fourth official will be Daniel Middleton.
Listed below is the club's general match ticket admission prices for home league games in 2021/22.
