and live on Freeview channel 276
With possible play-offs ahead, Stags boss Nigel Clough was taking no chances and said: “We have the Notts Senior Cup final at Basford, but with it being on artificial, not many of the lads want to play on that and we won't be risking anybody.
“Jason Law will play for a run-out and probably Marek Stech, just to keep his hand in.”
Otherwise the side will largely comprise U23 players.

The last time the club lifted the trophy was when their reserves beat Forest Reserves 3-2 on Newark Town's ground in 1932.
Mansfield Town Ladies have also reached the Notts FA Women's County Cup final this season where they will face Nottingham Forest Women on Wednesday, 11th May also at Basford United.
