How it All Began

MTFC West Stand
Mansfield Town has played at Field Mill since the end of the First World War.

Mansfield Town started in 1897. It was first called Mansfield Wesleyans. The name came from a local church. They played friendly games until 1902. Then they joined the Mansfield and District Amateur League. In 1906, the church left the club. The team changed its name to Mansfield Wesley. They then moved to the Notts and District League.

In 1910, the team became Mansfield Town. They played in different local leagues. World War I stopped football for a while. After the war, Mansfield Town moved to the Field Mill ground. This happened because another local team could not pay rent.

In 1921, the club joined the Midland Counties League. They won this league three times. These wins were in 1923–24, 1924–25, and 1928–29. They also had good runs in the FA Cup. In 1929, they reached the fourth round. They lost to a big team, Arsenal.

Joining the Football League

In 1931, Mansfield Town finally joined the Football League. They played in the Third Division. The team found it hard at first. They often finished low in the league. A player named Ted Harston was a star. He scored 55 goals in one season. He then moved to Liverpool.

After World War II, the club started to do better. In 1950–51, they reached the fifth round of the FA Cup. They also had an amazing home record. They played 23 home games without losing.

In 1958, Lindy Delapenha became the first Black player for Mansfield. He played 115 games and scored 27 goals. In 1960, the club moved down to the Fourth Division. But they were promoted back to the Third Division in 1962–63.

In 1969, Mansfield had another great FA Cup run. They beat West Ham United 3–0. West Ham was a top-tier team. Mansfield then lost to Leicester City in the quarter-finals. In 1972, they were relegated to the Fourth Division again.

By 1976–77, the club was back in the Third Division. They won the Third Division title that season. This was a big achievement. But they went down again soon after.

In May 1987, Mansfield won the Football League Trophy. They beat Bristol City in a penalty shootout. This was a big moment for the club. However, the years after were mixed. Mansfield often moved between the Third and Fourth Divisions.

The 21st Century

In 2001–02, Mansfield was promoted to the third tier again. But they were relegated back down in 2003. In 2004, they reached the play-off final. They lost to Huddersfield Town on penalties.

In 2007–08, Mansfield left the Football League. They were relegated to the Conference. This ended their 77-year stay in the league. After this, new owners took over.

In 2010, John Radford bought the club. In 2011, Mansfield reached the FA Trophy final. They lost 1–0 to Darlington at Wembley Stadium. In 2012–13, Mansfield had an amazing season. They won 20 of their last 24 games. This included a club record of 12 wins in a row. They won the Conference Premier title. This meant they were promoted back to the Football League! The title was secured with a 1–0 win over Wrexham.

In 2018–19, the Stags almost got promoted again. They lost in the play-offs. In 2021–22, they reached the play-off final again. But they lost to Port Vale. In the 2023–24 season, Mansfield finally earned promotion to League One. They finished in 3rd place.

Club Ownership and Home Ground

The club's ownership has changed over the years. In 2006–07, fans wanted the owner, Keith Haslam, to leave. They even flew a banner over a game.

In 2008, after the club was relegated, new owners bought the club. These were Andrew Perry, Andrew Saunders, and Steve Middleton. They were all Mansfield Town fans. However, they still had to rent the stadium from Keith Haslam.

In 2010, John Radford bought Mansfield Town. He wanted the club to own its home ground, Field Mill, again. On March 1, 2012, John Radford bought the stadium from Keith Haslam. This was a very important day for the club. Because of this, March 1st is now called "Amber Day" at the club. It celebrates getting their stadium back. In April 2012, the stadium's name was changed to "One Call Stadium" for sponsorship reasons.

Club Culture and Traditions

Team Rivalries

Mansfield Town has some strong rivalries. Their biggest rivals are Chesterfield and Notts County. Games against Notts County are called Nottinghamshire derbies. These are exciting local matches. There is also a rivalry with Grimsby Town.

Team Colours

Mansfield Town's team colours are blue and amber. This has been their main colour scheme for a long time. When they first started as Mansfield Wesleyans, they wore chocolate and sky blue. Then, as Mansfield Town, they wore red, white, and black for a short time.

In 1919, they started using blue and amber. They have used these colours in different ways since then. Sometimes the shirts were half blue and half amber. Other times, they were all blue with amber trim. For their 100th birthday in 1997–98, they wore a special kit. It looked like the very first Wesleyans kit.
