A new, retractable players’ tunnel has been installed at One Call Stadium, funded by the Stags’ Supporters’ Association.

The new tunnel – royal blue in colour – is located at the Quarry Lane end of the ground and features logos of the club, One Call Insurance and SSA. It was placed in situe ahead of tonight’s home match against AFC Wimbledon.

Chairman of the SSA, Dean Foulkes, said: “Following discussions with David Sharpe (Mansfield Town’s chief executive), SSA are delighted to donate £8,168 to Mansfield Town FC to pay for the brand new players’ tunnel at One Call Stadium.
