Title: Mansfield game
Post by: Padge_DRFC on January 15, 2023, 08:41:13 am
Always done this by road, however quite a few of us going. Anyone else doing this via train? Can see it's 3 different trains just to get there unless anyone knows otherwise. With Sheffield to Worksop to Mansfield being the best route and also cheapest by the looks.

From memory, that's the only train route available these days. You could possibly do the trip via service buses, but it'd take ages.

I remember getting a service bus there because there was no railway station until 1995.

Another train route is via Retford-Worksop-Mansfield, there’s a small pub on Worksop station and a pub/hotel 50 yards from the station

Just looked at Boston to Mansfield. 1 change at Nottingham. £15 return. Bargain. Mind you, it’s a 3 hr trip.

Bus from Donny to Worksop and then train? Still takes 2 hours!

If you're going from Donny on train, don't buy a ticket from Donny to Mansfield. Break it up and buy to Worksop and then from Worksop to Mansfield. Works out a good deal cheaper. Can even get a bus from Donny to Worksop for a couple of quid and then catch the train to Worksop.

Mate, wouldn’t it be dangerous to get off if the bus nearly stops outside the station.

Has this sold out yet? Grimsby didn't even make general sale and we were just as bad to watch back then as we are now

No I'm on about when we sold Grimsby out before it reached general sale

How many tickets were available at Grimsby and how many at Mansfield?
Title: Re: Mansfield game
Post by: DearneValleyRover on January 19, 2023, 09:19:49 am
Grimsby was just over 1200

Bigger away allocation at Mansfield though compared to Grimsby. The stand holds 1800ish in total. Once we sell the last 120-odd in block E there's another block (block A) to sell.

By my estimate we've sold somewhere between 1300-1400 so far.

Hopefully we can take up the full stand and get behind the team.
