So if today's full whack cost status is anything to go by, Mansfield Town have finally arrived in the big time and aren't really a mid table Conference side looking wistfully up the table at the teams vying for a play off placing at all.

But as the Poppies had only 9 players on the pitch for the last quarter of an hour and are worth a mere £12 to watch at this Kettlebrook based arena, the Lambs were expecting a much tougher game against this afternoon's highly ranked opponents Mansfield Town.
The Stags themselves arrived at the Lamb Ground riding high on the crest of a wave, on the back of their impressive 2-2 draw in the FA Trophy at Chasetown on Tuesday ;-)

Typical!
But that afforded us pole position for a fast escape from the club car park at the end of the game and plenty of time to take the short stroll through the nearby subways to the local Wetherspoons, which was already doing a roaring trade courtesy of a good number of Stags fans who were already in it, as was Yate's further into town by all accounts.
Some of those Stags fans were enjoying their afternoon in the pub so much, they decided to stay there and didn't even go to the game.
It takes all sorts I suppose.
