After learning of AFC Mansfield’s relegation from the Northern Premier League as they have failed to meet ground grading criteria, fans took to social media to give their reaction…
Sorry to hear this news. My visit to the Forest Town arena in the #FACup a couple of seasons ago is one of my favourites in the competition. A very quirky ground with the cycle track running around it. Good luck for next season and beyond

Sorry to hear this. Would not suprise me if a few more failed especially this changing room malarkey.

I can never understand why at that level ground grading comes into play. It's what happens on the grass which should be the prime determinant. A piece of grass of the regulation size would do me.

This saddens me the hospitality,respect the hard work and dedication of everyone involved at the club, especially since I joined as a volunteer as been second to none. I am positive we will come back even stronger.. #UpTheBulls
