The five-year contract with Liz Hobbs Group will see two dates this summer, starting with the X Factor Live show on 11th June.

Stags chairman Andy Perry said: "The deal will bring a totally fresh look to us. I think we're all aware of how we have to make the stadium work outside of the football season.

The surface has been poor since the turn of the year after so much bad weather and there are worries that the shows could worsen it. But the Stags manager said: "I know the chairman has made sure the pitch has enough time to recover. It is not just something that has been done off the cuff and to hell with it. "The chairman is making sure measures are taken. "I am sure the Mansfield public will turn out to support the shows and it shows how pragmatic the board are being in trying to do things out of season like this. "I am not a big X-Factor fan though that Leona Lewis can sing. It is a case of needs must and we need to bring in revenue. "Mike Merriman has done a very good job on the pitch. Conditions have been awful. You always want to play on a blanket but that can't be the case sometimes." ----------------------- |
