- Do not forget the current financial hardships and cost of living element which makes this even more remarkable

- Brilliant gesture to lower prices for Quarry Lane

- Freeze prices in Ian Greaves stand

- I am sure they took into account current cost of living with the reward loyalty element and have made it more affordable for all

3100 now...

What do people think we will end up on, 3500?

Could be more.

They went on sale to season ticket holders 2 weeks ago, general "early bird" was 9 days ago.

The early bird ends on Monday 4th July. Quite a few will not be paid until the end of the month. So I think 3,500 is fairly realistic

Looking at the seating plan it looks like that up to 800 season ticket holders from last season have not renewed as yet. If correct and they do renew then 4,000 looks possible

Anyone else think that getting say 3500 ST’s will have a negative effect on crowd next season? I’d imagine the clubs going to put up match day pricing so the majority of fans that bought tickets the day before last season will have got a ST (like me)… any increase in price will then limit how many more than the ST total that’ll bother?

Might be totally wrong… it would be a good idea for the club to make machday price cheaper, I’ve got a ST and wouldn’t be bothered although a lot would

I expect the matchday price to be the same as last season.Also think we will get between 500 and a 1000 new season ticket holders.Could end up with 4000 which would be great.

Season tickets are key, especially trying to build on U18 support for the future. Guaranteed income for a whole season too.

Not really, Bradford is a big city and practically give away their season tickets, per capita their sales are lower than ours, as are Stockports. If you sell 5k and we get to 4k our sales will also be higher per capita. Approx populations, Bradford 500k, Stockport 230k, Grimsby 135k, Mansfield 100k. For a long time we were the smallest town with a professional football club, I think FGR hold that now.

Quite a few of those 800 will have gone for the quarry lane end tickets!! Money is tight at the moment!!

Wonder if the system releases tickets for the original seats when the holder has renewed but for elsewhere…

Yes, once they remain unsold on the 4th July I believe.

Where we?

Burnley has a smaller population than mansfield, as does accrington, fleetwood to name a few.

Burnley has a population around 85,000, accrington is around 35,000 and fleetwood is 62,500 - all easily smaller than mansfield, and all in higher leagues.

Yes it was quite a long time ago, Accrington and Fleetwood weren't in the league and I can only assume our population has increased much quicker than Burnleys over the past 2-3 decades. We were also reported as being the largest town without a train station after the old one shut and before the Robin Hood Line opened.

I think you have to look back at our population when we first joined the league to get true perspective. We were probably hovering around 50-60,000 at the time (I haven’t researched it so may be a bit out) and that’s when we got the reputation. I have no idea what the population of other teams were but wouldn’t argue the point if someone claimed we were the smallest.

It may be a task for someone who has more time and can even be bothered as it’s obviously incorrect now.

Looking back it is difficult to find online census data pre-1991 however one observation would be Walsall, which has been approx. 15/20k behind Mansfield in population since then - they have been FL members since 1921. Another is Wrexham (similar pop. to Walsall) who dropped out of the league with Stags in 07/08, prior to which they'd had an 87 year stint in the Football League. I think that rules us out as ever being the smallest town in the FL. More towns/cities here - https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/cities/.

Other current FL teams in towns smaller than Mansfield (83, 043) include Shrewsbury (77,144), Crewe (75,002), Carlisle (74,536), Harrogate (74,159), Barrow (44,306), Morecambe (33,916) in addition to Accrington (36,679), Fleetwood (25,681) and Nailsworth (for FGR, 7,761) already mentioned. Burnley is slightly bigger at 83,785. Note these figures are for the built-up subdivision which paints a truer reflection of the town itself over Urban Areas. The Mansfield Urban Area pop. is 183,412 and includes Wudus and most of Ashfield (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansfield_urban_area).

I'm not sure how you can rule it out in the past using your figures. As I said it was a very long time ago and almost certainly going back way before the 1991 census figures. Obviously there are now quite a few clubs smaller than us in the EFL and of course it may just have been some fairly loose research back in the 50's/60's (who knows!) but I suspect it was once true and maybe we were the smallest English team hence ruling out Wrexham. I'm sure I can recall from my youth it being a quiz question on TV. Walsall's population according to this is much, much higher than Mansfield's: https://citypopulation.de/en/uk/admin/w ... __walsall/

Of course as you rightly point out, there are lots of ways population stats are collated and presented so who knows who's right but it was definitely once a thing and I'm definitely not going mad just yet ;)

Mansfield has an estimated population of 110,000 but we can’t discount other areas for our support and I’d say we’ve got the pull of a lot of the outskirts of Mansfield, for instance, Sutton-in-A. We’re probably pulling supporters in from an estimated 250,000 population.
Not sure how this sort of equates with other clubs as some areas overlap or are close to two big cities or more.
