A visit to Willy's Micro Bar and Brewery which brews its own beer. They did not have the football on the last time I went there so I popped into The Smugglers which was also a decent pub. There is also a Wetherspoons in the Old Town (Coliseum Picture Theatre) and the Nottingham Hotel. There are also a couple of pubs at the train station - No 1 Pub and No 2 Refreshment Room. Fish and Chips from Ernie Becketts or Steels or numerous other places including on the pier. You can then walk back along the sea front towards Blundell Park, climb over a small wall and cross over the railway bridge and you are right outside the away end.
I think the Stags fans who go on the SSA coaches normally drink in the Blundell Park Hotel opposite the ground. There is also a bar inside the ground - Scotties.
Hi,
GTFCfish on another forum mentioned that this bridge is now closed:
Any Mansfield fans who post on Stagsnet can you let this guy know that the bridge he talks about that takes you straight to the away end is now closed off so anyone going that way will have a very very long walk back down the seafront and down Grimsby Road to get to the ground.
Walked down Grimsby Rd after fish and chips in Steels Corner House. I could see quite a few SSA regulars eating their fish and chips outside Ernie Becketts. I went to pay at the away turnstile near the Findus Stand and was then told I had to walk back around the ground to the turnstile in the Main Stand where I discovered that the railway bridge was blooming open.
Had a nice walk back along the sea front with a big smile on my face after the Chief's late winner.
