MANSFIELD Town fans were onto a £1,200 winner with a fundraising race night.
It was the first major fundraising event staged by the recently formed Stags Fans United (SFU).
The £1,200 raised will go towards its target of collecting upto £250,000 to invest in the Stags, in return for a seat on the board of directors and the
chance to buy more shares.
So far the SFU has raised around £40,000 through fans membership - to join the SFU click

The event was held at the King's Arms, Mansfield, when £100 was also raised for the Baby Unit at King's Mill Hospital.
A spokesman for the SFU - a merger of four fans groups, the Stags Supporters Association (SSA), TEAM Mansfield (TM), Stags Fans For Change (SFFC) and Ollerton Stags Supporters Club (OSSC) - said: "The SFU would like to thank everyone who attended the event, sponsored a race or donated a raffle prize.
"We would especially like to thank the King's Arms landlord Jez for his hospitatlity on the night.
