Mansfield Town owners plea for fans to back club by buying IFollow package

Mansfield Town owner John Radford says season ticket sales will help bring in some crucial revenue.

Stags are currently without regular income as matches continue to be played behind-closed doors for the foreseeable future.

And the Stags bosses now want fans to get behind the boys by purchasing IFollow passes to guarantee the club have paying customers.

“We have got a superb fan base and we are financially secure,” John said during an interview with the club’s official website.

“We are not in any financial difficulties, but we need the community spirit of everyone who lives in Mansfield.

“We need our fans to support us in the ground when fans can come back and with IFollow Stags.

“The more the fans can support us the easier journey our club will have.”

Carolyn added it was crucial fans took up IFollow passes, with away passes especially important to the club.

“We don't know what is going to happen with a return to fans,” said Carolyn.

“We have heard October mentioned for a return for fans. The Football League is saying IFollow will be an important part of this season.

“IFollow Stags will mean season ticket holders can watch all home games and the club will get revenue.

“We really want to keep pushing that. If you support the football club, or want to help the club, please purchase a pass and ask friends and family to do the same.

“The IFollow away pass is the important one because we get 100 per cent of the revenue after the first 500 sold, so it is really important.

“The clubs with bigger away followings will do better out of this. We have a core fan base of about 400- 500 travelling all over the country, which is fantastic.

“We want everyone to watch the away games on IFollow, your money will be the only income we have other than funding things ourselves.

“We want to open the stadium as soon as we can but we will have restrictions in place, which will probably be just home fans and reduced capacity.

“We watched the game on Saturday. It was an empty ground and it feels so weird, it's not the same atmosphere.

“The players thrive off the support and it felt very sterile. We have just got to get on with it and make sure everyone is safe. We can't wait for it to get back to normal.”
