Mansfield Town chairman John Radford has revealed that the club will drop admission charges for under-18s to £1 for the next three home matches – Accrington Stanley on Saturday, Stevenage on 9th January and Luton Town on 23rd.

He announced the news at half-time in Monday’s 1-1 draw with York City, saying the club had ambitions for promotion this season and wanted to give manager Adam Murray every chance of leading the club into League One.
