---------- Stags to take on Spanish club Alaves mansfieldtown.net, 30 July 2002 The Stags could well have another friendly to add to their pre-season fixture list, and what a game it will be. Alaves who finished 7th in the top flight Spanish League 'La Liga' last season, begin a tour of England on Saturday and Mansfield Town F.C have been selected as one of their opponents for the tour. Chairman, Keith Haslam is 99% certain that the game will go ahead, he is awaiting one final phone call to confirm that the game will be set for Monday evening (5th August). This will be a fantastic experience for everyone involved with Mansfield Town Football Club, players, management , staff, but most of all you the fans. This is a chance to see a team who just the other season were competing in the final of the UEFA Cup against Liverpool. All of their players should be involved with the tour, which would include former Manchester United forward Jordi Cruyff, new loan signing Luis Helguerra and a whole host of European stars. Alaves Kick Off the tour on Saturday against Portsmouth, they will then travel north to Field Mill on Monday evening before going north again to Middlesborough on Wednesday. They complete their tour a week on Saturday against Premiership newboys Birmingham City at St Andrews. This will be a fantastic opportunity for the club and the supporters and it gives us a chance to promote lower league football. The fixture should be confirmed later today as well as news of ticket prices. We would love to see the stadium sold out and show the Spanish Club how good Mansfield Town supporters are. |
