One gripe'd be he couldn't see chuff all of the game after about 63 mins as folk around him kept standing up and walking out and spoiling his view. However after 10mins of this his view was great as there was hardly anyone left in that stand

Stags Fans United wrote:The list of points that have we have for the MTFC board meeting next week that have been raised on here are as follows:
1. More card machines for ticket office.
2. Improve online purchase of tickets. Some blocks and seats in Ian Greaves Stand are not shown as being available.
3. Toilets in Ian Greaves Upper are in a disgusting state and need improving. They are also very small. (The toilets in the old West Stand were much better)
4. What is the situation regarding radio broadcasting rights? Would the club be better moving back to the BBC now that Mansfield 103.2 seem to be more interested in Forest than the Stags.
Any more?

There are floating fans (I am one) who are not coming to the ground because there is no opportunity to pay on the day at the turnstile.
I'm well aware I can order in advance and pick them up or pay more on the day by going to the ticket office but I have no intention of doing either. This isn't a huge loss for me or the club as I live some distance away but there certainly a short and long term cost for the club. E.g. While I was in Mansfield with my family recently we (me, the wife and three small kids - plus my Dad would probably have come) missed 2 home games we probably would have watched in the past - not a huge amount in the grand scheme of things but a cost to the club all the same.
Simply put, it's just too much bother these days when you've spent thirty years just picking up your keys and wallet to go to the game.
I don't expect to change anything with this message (the club makes an offer and I decide whether to accept it, or not) but I hope people who matter realise that at least a few thousand (probably tens of thousands) are not going to the club each year which previously would have. Add to that the fact that my kids will, as a result, probably not become Stags fans and won't ever come to games and you've got a long term cost as well.
Martin Shaw wrote:As Stags Fans United, we have made the point to the club several times (including in the consultation on ticket prices in 2015, the full details of which are on our website) that, based on feedback from fans, we think there should at least one cash turnstile per stand. To date, the club has not implemented. That said, I'm sure the number of people not attending for this reason is not in the thousands, or anything like that.
Spiritater wrote:The issue of pay on a turnstile has a little bit of 'legs' but it can't over ride the fact that folk who've pre bought tickets have priority. Suppose it's a big game, Direites or Clownty etc then you just can't rock up early and pay on the gate and sit anywhere as many or most of the seats will have been pre booked and nobody'll be wanting to find another seat if Tof's sat in theirs as a pay on the gate customer. It'd mean for big games having a complete section in each stand set aside for the odd 20-30 folk who want to turn up with £22 and give it to a turnstile operative.
This'd probably mean 5-600 seats in the whole stadium being left empty for big games plus the Gabbitas buffer zones.
Also if there wasn't areas set aside for POTG folk then if say 5 or 6 turned up as a group for a 'big' game and all wanted to sit together (having downed 5-6 pints each in the Talbot pre game) then I'd imagine there'd be arguements if they're asked to 'hop it youth' by someone who's paid and pre booked those seats for him and his family.
I can't see why you just can't go to the booths Tof if you've made your mind up to go and turn up 10 minutes earlier.
