New scoreboard deja vu for Stags fans at Exeter
After months of anticipation, Mansfield Town’s new giant ex-Wembley scoreboard was finally switched on last weekend – but Stags were unable to give it much to do in a 0-0 draw with Colchester.
“It would have been great to see it working other than just a clock on it, but if you don’t score a goal then not only don’t you win a game but you don’t get the scoreboard to move, other than counting the seconds,” said manager Steve Evans.

“He has assured me that will be the case and I have only ever found him a man of his word.
“He has done everything and more that he’d said he’d do since I walked into the building.
“So it’s my job to make sure we give him them little headaches.
“I think it’s the biggest scoreboard outside Wembley, but we’d like to see a few goals on it and a few celebrations on it, particularly coming up to the festive period.”
