AFC Mansfield or Rushall Olympic away
if..........
-
So the Cup draw could be "A team from Mansfield v a team made up with a lot of ex-Mansfield players"
-
"A.F.C. Mansfield was formed in June 2012 by three former directors of Mansfield Town following a series of disputes within the club's management"

Good job somebody's on the ball (!)...still no mention on the Club website

Fingers crossed then for a win on Tuesday night.
Hopefully AFC Mansfield will win, not so far to go as Rushnell.
But a big if still.
-
The only place I could see draw was footballinbracknell !
Town are home in another winnable tie ..Warrington / Hyde
-
Surely the replay and then the next round opponents shouldn't be deemed as tricky as some are already quoting, .....or have we fallen that far ? We should be confident of beating these teams but now the mindset is we're going to struggle. Anything but progression from these two games should be deemed as a failure.

Lot more difficult than Dereham Ted , Warrington are top of the Unibond .
-
Next round is irrelevant , as we've no chance of progress if we perform like we did on Saturday.
However, I genuinely hope I'm very wrong.

Don't think you guys went to the match but your comments are correct .
I did go to the match and my thoughts are more negative than yours , all level with 10mins to go one would have thought to home team 3 leagues higher would be the team pressing , but it was the lowly visitors who looked most likely to score .
One sensed looking at the teams after the final whistle the visitors were the team fancying a replay , and rightly so based on the latter part of the match .

Let's hope it stays that way, nice an easy journey to Mansfield.

I was about to report Rushall is a 'welcoming ground ' with large car park and ' self serve snack bar ' ;)

AFC Mansfield v Boston United
With a capacity of 500 will this be an all ticket game ?

There's a cycle track round the pitch and very little covered accommodation.
We play them three days before your cup tie.
-
Could they switch it ..
-
Could they switch it ..
Potentially. More likely it would be moved to another local ground, rather than York Street.
Worksop and Mansfield are both at home - Alfreton have been drawn away from home in the FA Cup.
-
A few familiar faces on their squad list. Never completely comfortable against ex players ...

Rudy Funk?....has to be a made up name
-
How about this for a coincidence, both teams that I support Boston and Notts County are both playing against Mansfield teams on the same day.
I wonder what the betting odds would have been for that.
-
James Cullingworth ? Its another Haughmond 1st match tie type tie .
With a lot of coincidences .
Wonder where they train ? ::)

AFC Mansfield v Boston United

I have contacted AFC Mansfield and there Secretary has told me that the game will not be all ticket.
So it will be a case of don't be late or you will not get in, apparently there is plenty of parking outside the ground.
I hope this is of some help.
-
I see that the NCEL have allowed AFC Mansfield to cancel their midweek league fixture with Worksop Town. This is to give them time to prepare for Saturday's "biggest game of their history".Very supportive!
-
Recently AFC Mansfield played Tadcaster in a big Vase game and got over 600 (There's a new 120 seater stand down one side and a bigger stand/terrace where the bar is on the other side), so I'm sure we'll be fine. Added that it clashes with Mansfield v notts, we should get in. Our own travelling support will be lower due to the Boston Town home game so I doubt there'll be a mad rush for the last few spaces.

Just keep in mind that many Mansfield fans will not be able to get in to see the match against Notts,due to the relatively small capacity of Mansfields ground.
The might instead choose to come to ours, and the Mansfield v County game is a 1pm Kick off.
-
I know Wikipedia states the capacity for AFC Mansfield is 500 however I believe that is incorrect. As mentioned above for their last 16 tie in the FA Vase three seasons ago against Tadcaster Albion they had over 600 fans (the majority being Taddy fans).
Bear in mind for ground grading purposes the minimum capacity for the NCEL Premier Division was 1000.
They do not normally get large crowds. Last season their average crowd for league matches was 94, with a highest of 205 (when they played us). When they reached the 3rd qualifying round of the FA Cup last season they attracted a crowd of 220 against Stamford.
When I went to watch their home match against Harrogate RA last season the attendance was 55 and it was 53 when I saw them in the League Cup against Knaresborough.
I haven't seen them yet this season, but a few people I have spoken to who have seen them say they are the best team in our League. They certainly have players who have played at a higher level e.g. D'Laryea
-
Finch is there anywhere to sit down and eat near the ground, pub etc.
Do you or anyone know how much it is to get in on Saturday.
-
£7 for adults.
I messaged theur FB page and they said their capacity is 2000.
-

Do you or anyone know how much it is to get in on Saturday.
There is the Prince Charles pub very close to the ground which I believe serves food, however, I cannot vouch for the quality as I have not been inside.
On a different note, guess who we have drawn in the FA Vase today, Haughmond (away)!!
-
Good luck everyone for tomorrow, let's all get behind them and shut Deylara up, the Trinity has been.
Have a safe journey everyone.
-
Any commentary for this match. Just watched Chorley beat Ashton1-0, a team 3 leagues below them, but they found it hard to break them down until the last 10 minutes. Let's hope we find it easier today.
-
Yes, BBC radio lincolnshire doing commentary
-
We won :)
-
Yes we won and a job well done.
What happened after the game was disgusting and shocking, Mansfield fans throwing glasses and beer over Boston fans including women and children.
One fan even climbed down from the terrace area and confronted us, and tried to goad us, there security guy just let him do it.
I have filled an official complaint to their Secretary and I ask you all too do the same.
If anyone has any footage of the incident, forward that to the FA.
This needs to be dealt with, and they and the club need to be punished.
They are to blame for having no police at the ground and inadequate security.
This is another example why beer should not be allowed to be consumed in a football ground.
-
No beer. I agree Nick.
-
Regardless of the odd 'fan' making an idiot of themselves which lets face it, we always see in cup games, I feel we need to focus on the win and hopefully a cup run to be proud of this season. Although I have been unable to attend games now for a while, reports I have been receiving from fellow fans over the last two games have been promising. Lets hope it stays that way ! While it is still too early to get carried away and no disrespect to AFC I feel we have much tougher games coming up to prove ourselves in and I still feel we need one good goalscorer to be competitive and climb the league table as well as extend this cup run.
Anyway.......who do we fancy in the next round ?

Didn't have trouble when we played Mansfield town the league ?
-
Mansfield is a scummy horrible place. I'm surprised there were other a handful of idiots. Had it been a different kickoff time it would have been awkward.
On the pitch, we defended well but made it very nervy. Clinical up top, solid at the back, unlike the Darlington game where we played much better. But we're through to a glamorous tie at some bandwagon shit like fylde or south shields
-
But we did this time,I know I was there.
-
First time in the 4th qualifying round for 5 seasons I believe,well done AM and the lads.
-
More money for the playing budget I hope?

A large amount of our present budget spends matches sat on the bench , rightly so by their on field performances .

I missed the WE out. Didn't we have trouble when we played Mansfield Town in the league?
-

Sorry Chubby, I missed WE out on my post. Last time we went to Mansfield, three of us had to * rescue " some women in a car after they were attacked by youths.
-
The loser that climbed over the seats looked deranged, seen more meat on a butchers âœï¸ pencil.😀
-
It was a disgrace Tash, do you know if anyone has a video of the incident, if so it needs to be sent to our chairman.
I have already lodged a complaint with AFC Mansfield and our board.
I am a big boy and can look after myself, and if I didn't have the best interest of our club at heart, I would have put skelator on his skinny arse.
But what upset me the most was seeing beer glasses bouncing off children.
It was utterly disgusting and those responsible and the club should be punished, AFC Mansfield have a duty of care to protect all supporters, and they woefully failed, with no police being present and a security that just stood there and let it happen, and refused to call the police in.
In hindsight we should have called them in.
I am delighted with our win, and willing to move on from this, but surely they AFC Mansfield cannot be allowed to sweep this under the carpet.
Any decent club would want to investigate it and punish those responsible, and also do whatever they can to protect all supporters.
-
In hindsight we should have called them in.
Come on youngchubby, you and I know any calls to the old bill results in an incident number and no show or they will turn up just as the stadium staff start to lock up ! lol :police: :police:

it's a good job all BUFC fans are well behaved always then, isn't it? I understand why YC is upset, but if incidents like this are reported, then we all know a minority of our fans can be as bad, and some things just need leaving, unsavoury as they may be.

I’m sorry but you are wrong the police should have been called by the stewards. Turning a blind eye for whatever reason when glasses and beer is being thrown at young children is not acceptable and anyone who thinks it should be ignored by the stewards and the club are way off the mark. I had my young Grandson with me so got him out as soon as I could see it turning ugly. The other thing to say is it wasn’t the AFC Mansfield fans it was idiots who just came to cause trouble. The stewards knew before the game they would turn up because we were talking to the one at the entrance to the bar on the car park, his words “ they will turn up after the game at Mansfield finishes “ so they were well aware so should have been prepared.
-
Yes Tash I totally agree, to turn a blind eye is in my opinion, is condoning there behaviour, a thorough investigation needs to take place.
I didn't witness any Boston fans throwing beer over women and children, so in this case we were not as bad.
I have made my complaint to both clubs, just now have to wait to see if either of them do the right thing.

Chubby, you will open a can of worms. I was extremely near a Boston fan at the Ferriby play off and watched him throw a half full GLASS pint at a Ferriby player trying to take a corner. The Ferriby player, who was about 5 feet from him, picked up the glass and showed the ref before he took the corner. On the same day I saw Boston fans outside the pub in ferriby throw beer over Tom Dentons car as he drove to the game. Just 2 examples that I'm sure you consider worth reporting? My point is these incidents are not pleasant, but they happen. Maybe you should apply to be a steward and then you will have the authority to police such matters?
-
Heard Hyde fans were doing the same yesterday... Throwing glasses!
-
Didn't see any Boston fans doing anything wrong yesterday - the trouble only started when the game had ended and Boston fans were walking below the raised covered terrace where the door to the bar was. About five lads, none of whom I'd spotted earlier, were chanting about Boston being a shithole and one of them - some malnourished weirdo in high-vis - then hurled his pint into the crowd and vaulted down the steps to have a go. Few more pints were thrown indiscriminately into the Boston fans - hitting kids and only narrowly missing my mate's head - as the hi-vis freak's mates tried to join in.
Weirdly, the ground was on lock down if you wanted to piss at half-time, yet all the bouncers that been around earlier were nowhere to be seen. Bit weird, but then Mansfield is a weird place...

Such incidents are not acceptable though TTT, no matter which set of fans are causing them. We have to remember, if it is our fans then eventually their actions will have a detrimental effect on our club in one form or another. There simply cannot be any defending of such thuggish behaviour. I like to support the team and from pitch side give the away players some stick but throwing beer at someone's car or throwing of a half full pint glass at another human cannot be deemed acceptable. There are other ways as I say to give away teams fans and players some stick without resorting to such behaviour. That's just my opinion of course, and I'm not going to get into the slating of fellow fans as we know this is just a couple of people. On the whole we have a cracking fanbase.

The answer is to make football clubs sell Real Ale it's too good to through away . The beer most clubs sell is
like cat piss , my wife buys it from the supermarket to put in the garden to kill the slugs :)

I agree, it isn't acceptable, and we do have a great fan base. I do not condone the actions of the few. But, I would never report something that could just as easily be thrown back at the club on another occasion. I think it puts a spotlight on us for other teams to do the same back at us.

If they had attended 20 mins before the end of the match there would have been no trouble Pete. The point I was making in my earlier post was the stewards knew it was going to happen but did nothing to avoid the situation. Let’s hope IF we get through the next round we don’t draw Mansfield away.

Police resources are so stretched though under austerity. Doubt they'd be able to send patrol cars out willy nilly to something which only might happen, even if the stewards had called them.

I know what you're saying although I still believe in 'got nothing to hide, got nothing to fear'. On the whole we are good home and away behaviour wise, it's only of these so called 'big' games that you get the odd casual turn up. Although I couldn't say if this person yesterday was a regular or not. But for their fans part be them AFC or Mansfield Town, that behaviour needs reporting to be fair.
-
Boston have an element - you only have to pop along to big away games like Ferriby to see that - but they're not regulars and most fall into the 'over-excited kids' category than anything else, giving it the big one at their one away game every three years because, well, who knows. In that respect, we're no different to any other club. Lobbing pints into a crowd including kids is seriously not on though - the lads in question were clearly absolutely steaming. How sad must your little tiny life be to turn up to an FA Cup 4QR tie to cause some aggro? Those guys need a hobby. Starting with showering.

Hi all
I have had a response from the AFC Mansfield secretary, who has identified those involved as being welfare members and not AFCM fans they are seeking an life time ban for these thugs, meetings will be taking place tomorrow.
AFCM are as upset as we are over the incident and feel disgusted and apologise to us all.
-
Welfare members??
DHSS types??
-
The grand sounding Forest Town Arena was previously known as the Forest Town Colliery Welfare.
-
Yes that's right most of the club's around that area were colliery teams and club's according to my father in law who was born and bred in Nottingham and worked on the ambulance service in that area.
He was with me yesterday and was not surprised by the trouble.
He said that the football matches between the miner's were something to be hold, and not for the faint hearted.

He said that the football matches between the miner's were something to be hold, and not for the faint hearted.
The ground used to be a cricket ground, home to Mansfield Colliery Cricket Club, a team I played against several times 30-40 years ago in the Bassetlaw League.
I remember having to "climb up" the grass bank to get to the Welfare for the "mid innings teas", there were no steps/terracing back then!
Last season I spoke to the AFC Chairman about how I still find it strange the ground being a football and not a cricket ground now. He told me they still have problems with the pitch due to it previously being a cricket ground. Around the centre circle is where the "square" used to be and due to constant rolling of the "square" over many years the soil is too compact in that area leading to drainage problems. It needs work doing on it to loosen the soil under the surface but the AFC Chairman told me there are only about 5 machines in the country dedicated to this type of work and they are not cheap!

We have it all to do at Chorley but we do owe them one!

Not the best draw but a winnable one at that, beat them 2-0 early in the season so we can go there in confidence. Even if we get a draw and bring them back home on the Tuesday night would give us a good chance.

Not the best of draws, is it ! While there is no doubt that we have improved over the last few games I am yet to be convinced judging solely on our results and the opponents played that we are capable of beating Chorley at their place although one plus is we did beat them at home this season. A very very tricky tie this, but on the day...who knows. We go there in hope more than in expectation.

That's what I was just posting above, we have proved we can beat them and with what many have deemed a weaker starting eleven than what we have now. But still a very tricky draw indeed !
-
It could be worse, at least they play at our level, and we have beaten them this season.

Will we still have Jack Thomas by that time? Hope so!

Terrible draw.

Not attractive, but very winnable.

With MTFC allowing him to get cup tied with us it is a good indication that they will not require his services in the near future .

agree, even if it takes a replay. If we did get them back to York st under the lights I'd fancy us. We've beaten them on their last 2 visits 3-1 & 2-0. Would be handy to pick up the £12,500 & get in the next round with the league clubs.

Let's hope so GHM, I think he has made a positive contribution to this team.
If he knows that he is not in Evans plans and the relationship he has with Adam and Jama, with a bit of luck he might become a permanent fixture.
Fingers crossed

Couldn't agree more. Dull as dishwater fixture but an excellent prospect of making 1st round proper.

Lets not underestimate Chorley ,
BUFC last 8 games have yielded 6 pts ....... relegation form .
Chorley last 8 games yielded 14 pts ...........play-off form .
I'll settle for a draw .
