THE ticket office at Mansfield Town has been closed on Wednesday morning after it received abusive telephone calls and e-mails from disgruntled fans.
Supporters had wanted refunds for tickets for Saturday's now meaningless match at Dagehnham, after last night's relegation to non league football.

Around 1,200 fans had bought tickets for the match over the past few days, believing that it would be a crucial relegation decider.

On Wednesday morning the club said: "We have received a number of telephone calls this morning from supporters who wish to claim a refund for their Dagenham tickets.

"The tickets were sold on behalf of Dagenham. The income received as a result of our ticket sales is theirs and not ours.

"Having completed a sale, we are only acting as agents for Dagenham. Consequently, we cannot offer any refunds.

"As a result of a number of abusive telephone calls and e-mails, the ticket office is closed for today."

Chief executive Stephen Booth told the club's official website mansfieldtown.net: "We would ask all supporters to remember we were only acting as agents for Dagenham and it is most inappropriate to direct abuse at young women in the ticket office.

"We hope all right-minded fans bear in mind the predicament we are in. The tickets are being sold in good faith on behalf of Dagenham and I appeal to people to act responsibly.

"We understand the frustrations of supporters, but we are not in a position to offer any refunds."

Do you remember when Carlisle came to us for the last game of the season and they were already down.
They filled the North Stand and their support was the 12th man as they beat us.
Look what happened to them.

Stag861: You may have mixed things up a bit.

When Carlisle came to us for the last game of the season, it was the game in which we clinched promotion in 2001-02.

Two seasons later, Carlisle were all but relegated when they came to us - and that was the last but one home game in 2003-04. On the following Saturday, May 1, 2004, Carlisle went down due to only drawing at home to Cheltenham. On that same day, York were relegated, too.

At the recent forum, Steven Booth stated that if we purchased away tickets before a match from MTFC, then 5% of the takings were given to MTFC for acting as agents!- Thats probably the reason in not giving monies back! 5% of 1200 x by 13 quid person- Ill let you work it out!

Mansfield town fc you were a good part of my life once, im afraid i have had enough now. i have followed you with passion this season unlike the stayaways. i have had it though now, im sick off all the lies we have been fed. im sick of haslam and i know its a matter of time till he closes you down. i am tired of the so called fans who have stayed away this season then come on last day and cause trouble. there are some genuine fans who have been great but not many. Mansfield as a town is not highly thought of and recent episodes at its football club strengthens people thoughts about it. its a town with little pride in anything bar its drug and drink culture. thats all the majority are interested in. well f&^%ing carry on with it. sorry for the decent folk because there are some
