Mansfield Town will try to continue their automatic promotion push with a tough penultimate game of the season away at Salford City live on Sky TV on Monday (12.30pm).

And boss Nigel Clough said he will give his players the choice of travelling over the night before or going on the door with such an early kick-off time.

As a thrilling season looks set to go right down to the wire, Clough said: “We have planned the week training-wise but we're not sure if we are going overnight yet.

“It's a 12.30 kick-off which complicates things.

“We will have a chat with the players and see what they want to do.

“I have enjoyed just travelling on the bus and going on the day, but whether it's too far or not with the kick-off time I am not sure.

“The roads should be clear on a Bank Holiday Monday morning. But it is still a couple of hours from here.”

Stags will be hoping veteran midfielder Stephen Quinn has shaken off a hip injury.
