On Friday afternoon the club said that he would not be allowed into the car park or the stadium for the match.
Safety officer Les Norman told Chad they had made the decision because they could not guarantee his safety following incidents at the Macclesfield match a week earlier.
Twenty minutes into that match, police and stewards had to remove him from the Stags fans at Moss Rose 'for his own safety', after confrontations between the wannabe Stags owner and supporters - supporters angry at his high profile campaign to take over the club and rename it after fictional TV team Harchester United.
Mr Batchelor had wanted access to the directors area this Saturday, saying that he wanted to avoid a confrontation with fans similiar to the much publicised furore at Macclesfield.
But when the unconventional Mr Batchelor was refused a hospitality ticket for the match against Shrewsbury, the controversial businessman insisted he would still go to the match and pay through the turnstiles.
However, Mr Norman said: "After what happened at Macclesfield last week, I cannot guarantee his safety at the ground.
"Therefore, he will not be allowed into the car park or the ground.
"We urge all fans to ignore him and not be provoked by his presence, if he turns up. This is just a publicity stunt. Ignore him and any TV cameras that may be following him.
"At this time we do not want any distraction from the match itself and winning three points."
Stags chief executive Stephen Booth told Chad: "John Batchelor will not be a guest of the club at the match and we have asked him to stay away. His presence would clearly not be in the best interests of the club on such a vital day when all the focus needs to be on the pitch."
- Believe in the Great Escape
And chairman and Mansfield mayor Tony Egginton added: "He is not welcome in Mansfield."
But Mr Batchelor insists that his bid to buy the football club from equally controversial owner Keith Haslam is ongoing and making progress - and added: "I just want to watch the team I am trying to buy. I am interested to see how they get on, what is wrong with that."I do not understand why the club can not let me have access to the directors area.
"Any club is entitled to not allow anyone in whom they want to bar - but this just seems as though they are excluding the victim of aggression last Saturday, me, in favour of the perpetrators of that aggression, the fans.
"I have no criminal record and just want to watch a match. Last week there were 400 screaming people having a go at me and yet I am the one that is effectively punished.
"Morally how does this work?"
He added: "The only reason I am being refused admittance is because of Stephen Booth. He knows I will fire him the moment I take over.
"Stephen Booth has been tasked with selling the club yet he is getting in the way."
Mr Batchelor still intends to go to Field Mill on Saturday - and it is thought that his attempts to get into the ground will be filmed by TV cameras.
He told Chad: "Everybody knows I want to buy the club and that I have provided proof of funding. Do they want to sell to me or not.
"I will be turning up at the ground tomorrow!"
Police told Chad on Friday afternoon that they would be monitoring the situation at Field Mill on Saturday afternoon, but would only intervene 'if there was a threat of public disorder'.
At the last home match Mr Batchelor, refused entry to the executive area by the club, paid to get into Field Mill - but he left after 15 minutes following abuse from fans.
- No more takeover discussions
Mr Batchelor appears to be the front runner in the race to buy the football club, but earlier this week owner Keith Haslam said he would not be conducting any further takeover negotiations until the end of the season.
