Fans hit with Price Increase

Last updated : 10 July 2007 By Editor
Stags supporters will be asked to pay £16 to get into the West Stand Lower, and £17 to access the West Stand Upper.

Whilst to sit behind the goal in either the Quarry Lane end or as an away supporter, will cost a whopping £18 for what is still 4th Division football.

Supporters though are being urged to make use of the SSA discount system, where they can avoid the increase, if they sit in the Quarry Lane end of the ground.

"We have not increased prices for three years and it's no secret the finances of the club are not brilliant so we have had to do it," chairman James Derry told the Mansfield Chad.

"But we have met with the SSA first and assured them we would look after them.

"We will be playing a lot of local derbies this season and we have to compete locally on prices.

"Lincoln's prices are very similar to our new ones but Rotherham and Chesterfield are much more expensive.

"We have got to maximise as much as we can and if our supporters are having to pay those prices away it's only fair away supporters will have to pay those prices when they come here."

Prices are now:

West Stand Upper £17, Lower West Stand £16, South Stand and North Stand £18.

Junior prices are West Stand Upper £8, £7 elsewhere while senior citizen prices are West Stand Upper £11 and £10 elsewhere.

Students are £10 for all Ground areas.

Meanwhile the Stags are hoping that the capacity will revert back to normal in time for the new campaign, following a meeting of the Safety Advisory Group (SAG), who have told the Stags that the situation will be reviewed following the Leciester home friendly on Friday 20th July.
