In a statement issued on Tuesday lunchtime the club said:
"We fully support the fundraising activities of Stags Fans United (SFU) and recognise they have raised over 40,000 so far, which we would welcome to be invested in the club.
"In return for this committment and as a sign of good faith we intend to work with, engage with and embrace the involvement of all supporters of Mansfield Town Football Club.
