Phases two and three of the Radford Family Stand expansion are now underway at Mansfield Town’s One Call Stadium.

The Radford Family Stand, formerly known as the Bishop Street Stand, has been undergoing significant renovation since its previously derelict status. It opened for the first time since 2004 last August and now the focus is on ‘future-proofing’ the stand and creating something really impressive over the second and third phases of development.

This includes plans for 12 executive boxes – fitting 12-15 people each – a room behind for catering and an outside veranda to watch the match. Mansfield Town are also looking to add a statement feature of a Wembley-style arch above the stand.

“The final phase will be three years, it’s humongous,” Stags director Sid Pepper told club media back in May. Now, he has provided an update on the Radford Family Stand project and the vision behind the aesthetic dream of the final product.

“We have got one major problem. Turning it into an arch, which is what gives it its excitement and makes it different, hasn’t got planning permission yet,” Pepper told Stags Supporters Association chairman Dean Foulkes on his radio show Deano’s Stags Roundup.

“We’re hopeful that’s what we’re going for now because without that planning, we aren’t going to build it. But John [Radford] wants to do it and I want to do it because I want to create a legacy for the club and for the town, and it will look something special, no question about that.

"If we can’t have an arch, there is something else we can do. It’s a bit like the one at Peterborough, which is just a straight truss across but it looks a bit too industrial for me.

“I’m just trying to make a statement structure for Mansfield and that’s what planners have got to understand as well. This isn’t just for John Radford, it’s not even for the ground, it’s for Mansfield.”

The Bishop Street Stand was renamed last September in honour of the club’s owners, John and Carolyn Radford and their family. Since the Radfords’ takeover of Mansfield Town, they have overseen two promotions, including Stags’ rise back to League One.
