Mansfield Matters Podcast

If this were a normal world, it's around this time that we'd be getting ready for pre-season - so we thought what better time to launch a new fortnightly series 'The Warm Up' than now, with the news of not one, but TWO new strikers! Broadcast LIVE on Facebook, Craig is joined virtually by Cam and Nathan who chew the fat over new arrivals, pre-season cup competitions, hitting the refresh button and...

The League Two season is officially over, and following our End Of Season review, we decided it was time for an off-season break for a few week - but what better way to end than with a LIVE podcast, talking about the official END of the League Two season, the appointment of a director of football and the potential retained list - PLUS, our traditional end of season quiz, as Craig played quizmaster...

We’ve just about accepted the fact the season is over (we’re kidding, we accepted it months ago!) and as such, decided it was time for the ‘End Of Season Review’…ISH!Craig, Cam and Nathan join together virtually to reflect on the woeful 2019/20 campaign and invite you to join us for a FINAL time on Facebook LIVE on Saturday at 5pm, before we take our little traditional break, as we talk about the...

Nine years ago on Thursday [7th May] Mansfield Town had their eyes on glory, taking on Darlington at an Amber and Blue soaked Wembley Stadium – fighting for the FA Trophy. Arguabley the worst Stags side in recently history had defied the odds to reach the final, and played out probably the dullest cup final ever to grace the national stadium. The Stags, in true Mansfield fashion, we’re beaten righ...

Nine years ago today [May 7th] Mansfield Town had their eyes on glory, taking on Darlington at an Amber and Blue soaked Wembley Stadium – fighting for the FA Trophy.

As we enter May and the period of uncertainty continues, this week on the ‘Best Time of the Week’ podcast we’re bringing you another ‘Stags Stories’ with a man who despite throwing the odd wobbly, was a reliable choice down the left hand side – Gareth Jelleyman. Joining the Stags in January 2005 from Peterborough, Gareth stayed with the club until the summer of 2008 – departing against his wishes,...

Today would have been the final game of the 2019/2020 campaign in League Two, a day every football fan hates as it brings a journey to an end, unless of course that journey is one which sparks cause for celebrationSeven years ago that was Mansfield Town, promoted back into the Football League under the leadership of Paul Cox, who this week, joins Craig for an exclusive, in-depth, insightful and em...

In these uncertain times where football can’t be played, pub quizzes can’t be held and TV Quizes can’t be recorded, we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon and try our very own, wait for it, QUIZCAST!Each week we’ll have Mansfield Town themed questions, plus play a general knowledge quiz themed on a TV Game show classic, for you to play along and enjoy. The quiz will initially be live on Facebook, b...

Three more weeks of lockdown have been announced by the government, and with the original batch of podcast recordings all used – Craig, Nathan and Cam reconnect via skype to keep the promise of content at the best time of the week – Saturday 3pm! This week we’re looking at the so near and yet so far moments, as the Stags’ of old come close to success but ultimately, throw it away – mainly the year...

16th April 2013 - Scenes of sheer madness! Seven Years on in lockdown, Craig, Cam & Nathan attempt a Facebook Live via Skype (which actually worked... ish) to remember the game, and tease you about upcoming podcasts as lockdown continues. NOTE This is just the unedited audio from Facebook Live, there was technical problem with Cam at one point! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more infor...

We’re still in lockdown. Football is still no closer to coming back – so this week, in another episode recorded pre-lockdown, Craig, Cam and Nathan take a look at the matches which matter most to supporters: Derby Day! Mainly looking at Post 2000, sorry, the boys reflect on some derby day classics and as ever go off in a tangent, talking about that matches mattered most to them and re-live some co...

Football was supposed to be back this weekend, but Covid-19 still has us in lockdown – so this week, Craig, Nathan & Cam are putting together their “ultimate” team in a bid to win your votes… and (loosely) keep you entertained?!Each podcaster takes it in turns to pick one player from each position BUT they can’t pick a player that the other have, they MUST pick someone they’ve seen play for the St...

With Covid-19 sending us into lockdown, we’ve decide to focus on bringing some form of happiness back to the best time of the week, 3pm on Saturday! Every Saturday (ish) at 3pm we’ll be bringing you some form of content, from us rambling on about topics, to interviews with ex-players and more! This week, we’re joined over the phone by Promotion Winner and FA Trophy Finalist Louis Briscoe, who reca...

With Covid-19 wiping out the Football Season until at least the end of April, we’ve decide to don out masks and rather than stock up on loo-roll, focus on bringing some form of happiness back to the best time of the week, 3pm on Saturday! Every Saturday (ish) at 3pm we’ll be bringing you some form of content, from us rambling on about topics, to interviews with ex-players and more! This week, we’r...

Mansfield Town’s stop-start season has been quite literally stop-stop over the last fortnight, with a home showdown with then league leaders Swindon falling victim to the weather last weekend, before a trip to Northampton got the Stags firing one more, as goals from Danny Rose and Willem Tomlinson, plus s solid performance from Aidan Stone, earning Graham Coughlans men victory. As Mansfield’s ques...

The Stags are turning corners, but as Graham Coughlan highlights with a passion - it's not enough to win games and do what he came to do. So this week, Craig and Nathan are back to take a look at the differences Coughlan has made, reflect on indifferent form and much more inbetween! www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media iFollow Stags Hosted on Acast.

Over the last four games the Stags have had a REAL chance to put daylight between themselves and the chasing relegation pack – but two drab draws and two familiar defeats means it’s not just storm Dennis coming to town, there’s a much bigger problem brewingThe Stags need to baton-down-the-hatches and find some security at the back ahead of a home game with Newport County, where old wounds perhaps...

It’s been one hell of a week following the Stags – just when you think you’ve turned a corner with a 3-0 victory over Bradford, jumping for joy – you land Geraldine Granger vicar of Dibley style into a big muddle puddle, as Oldham beat us 3-1 in midweek. This week as the transfer window draws closer to closing we ask if we need any more new faces and try and work out exactly why Mansfield deflated...

You know, the Chinese have a range of themes for their years – let’s hope that Mansfield’s isn’t one of same old same old – as yet again, Graham Coughlan’s men play REALLY well at one end, but can’t defend set-plays at the other, ultimately meaning it was a birthday to forget for yours truly, and a long journey home to boot as the Stags lost 3-1One new face was added with the Stags boss hinting mo...

For 45 minutes it looked like the week on the training ground which Graham Coughlan had been praying for had worked wonders – better football, better attitude, improved approach AND two very well worked goals…. BUT watching Mansfield is never THAT simple, and one moment of miss concentration and static behaviour, ultimately cost us everything. From 2-0 up and comfortable, the Stags found themselve...

Quitting smoking, stopping drinking, cutting back on the chocolate, seeing the family more, ACTUALLY going to the gym rather than spending £29.99 a month on a promise – all common new year’s resolutions which have been probably been broken by now – just like Mansfield Town have broken theirs. A new year’s day win at Cambridge provided hope, but failure to beat Grimsby Town at home and ultimately l...

Ten years are about to come to an end when the clock strikes midnight, let's face it, it'll bring an end to a decade of sheer heartache and joy following Mansfield Town FC.From Tyrone Thompson's own goal at Hayes & Yeading and the Wembley Heartache, to Matt Green scoring THAT goal at Hereford and Adam Murray lifting the conference trophy - we've seen it all. We've laughed and cried in equal measur...

2019 has been a bumpy ride, from high optimism for the prospect of league one football to the crashing lows of the MK Dons game and our current league position – now as a new dawn has broken, there’s just one game remaining before a new year and a new decade descends. After two games new boss Graham Coughlan has two points as the Stags show boxing day fight to claw back from two goals down, but th...

Following the appointment of Graham Coughlan as Mansfield Town’s new gaffer, Craig, Cam and Nathan are back for the second time this week to reflect on the appointment as the Stags head in a new direction – let us know your thoughts as always in the comments! Plus, we’ve gone festive – this is the Mansfield Matters Christmas Special, which includes our own unique brand of entertainment. From us al...
