BRIEF HISTORY of the MANSFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Mansfield Town Football Club is a professional association football club based in Mansfield,
Nottinghamshire, England. The club was formed in 1897 as Mansfield Wesleyans, changing its
name to Mansfield Wesley in 1906 before settling on Mansfield Town in 1910. They are nicknamed
The Stags and traditionally play in amber and royal blue. The club is playing in League Two,
the fourth tier of English football. Mansfield have lifted four professional trophies, winning
the Fourth Division title in 1974–75, the Third Division in 1976–77, the Football League Trophy
in 1986–87 and the Football Conference title in 2012–13. The Stags also finished as runners-up
in the 2010–11 FA Trophy.
Since 1919 the team's home ground was known as Field Mill until April 2012 when, for sponsorship
purposes, the ground was renamed to One Call Stadium, which holds 9,186 seated spectators. The
ground was renovated in 2001 after a decision not to move to a purpose-built ground. Issues
with previous club owner and landlord Keith Haslam came to a head when the club was locked out
of the ground in December 2010. Although the issue was resolved, the club was left considering
building a new stadium or groundsharing with a local club in order to be able to gain promotion
back to the Football League. After protracted negotiations, chairman John Radford purchased Field
Mill from Haslam on 1 March 2012.
