We wanted to check on the Mansfield Town stars who clinched the iconic promotion to League One in 2024 and see where they are today. The Chad has taken a look back at the famous win over Accrington Stanley from the 2023/24 season that secured Stags’ third-place finish in the League Two table. Stags clinched a 2-1 win thanks to goals from George Maris and Stephen Quinn at a euphoric One Call Stadium.
The victory was enough to send Stags back to England’s third tier for the first time in more than 20 years. Nigel Clough also celebrated his 25th year in football management with the landmark promotion success, as well as the honour of being named League Two Manager of the Season.
Mansfield Town went on to finish the season with 86 points from 24 wins and 14 draws – they lost just eight times throughout the campaign, the joint-lowest amount in the league that term alongside champions Stockport County.
Reminisce a little and look back at the starting 11 and substitutes that cemented Stags’ promotion in the clash against Accrington on 16th April 2024.
