Fans Stay Away

Maybe the rain and wind put people of from going down to Field Mill, but the Stags recorded their lowest league gate for several seasons when just 2274 (276 of which were from Swindon) turned up for the win over Swindon.

The Stags due tend to draw low crowds for midweek winter games, the past couple of seasons has seen the 2,500 mark struggled to be met for games played on Tuesday's this time of year.

We work out that the attendance was the lowest since May 2001 (although we could be wrong, it has been known!), when the Stags beat Darlington 3-2 in a home game with just 1,878 coming through the turnstiles.

The attendance is sure to turn more pressure towards Chief Executive Keith Haslam, who is baering the brunt of supporters anger at the moment, over the way they feel the club is being run.
