Mansfield Town charity shirts raise almost £4,000

The funds will be used towards the purchase of patient monitors to use within the Endoscopy Unit at the hospital in Mansfield.

Stags launched their limited-edition charity shirt in July of this year as a thank you to NHS staff for their continuing hard work and dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The special-edition shirt will be worn by the first team at a home fixture this season.

Commercial manager Paul Nyland said: “It’s heart-warming to know that the money raised from sales of our charity shirt will be directed towards the purchase of equipment at our local hospital.

“King’s Mill were absolutely delighted to learn that our supporters had bought our new charity shirts en masse and by doing so have raised funds for new patient monitors, equipment recommended by the hospital.

“We thank our supporters for their generosity and our gratitude is extended to everyone at King’s Mill for their dedication throughout this pandemic.”

The Stags’ home match against Barrow on Tuesday, October 27 will now kick off at the earlier time of 7pm.

The Sky Bet League Two fixture was originally set to take place at 7.45pm.

The match will be played behind-closed-doors and will be available to view free of charge to 2020-21 season ticket holders on iFollow Stags.

Season ticket holders will receive a promo code in the days leading up to the fixture, to allow them to watch the game for free.
