Mansfield or Port Vale to win L2 playoffs and join us in L1 next season?
For me, Mansfield vs Derby would be an interesting fixture. And I am more likely to go to Mansfield for a couple of different reasons. So I would go for them.
Would you rather…

Call me thick if you like but i still do not understand the Curle connection,Cloughie is manager at Mansfield.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote: ↑22 May 2022, 08:33I don’t care either away about Keith Curle. That was just a factual observation, not linked to my preferences. I can see it was not clear.
Mansfield are another small club with a benefactor pumping in loads of money, if they come up the investment will keep them up. I've also been to Field Mill loads of times so it doesn't really interest me even if it's not too far to visit and you can stop over in Nottingham.
Port Vale always struck me as a dislikeable club with some weird fans but if they come up I think they will go straight back down which is good for us. Also it's a pretty straight forward and relative journey straight motorway so I'd prefer they come up.

Ha you’re right. I actually was going to write it would be “interesting to see Nigel Clough manage against Derby” but when I googled to check Clough was actually manager the first few hits were about Keith Curle praising the Mansfield owners, so I thought he must have replaced Clough without me realising!

Vale certainly a game where a quick in an out on the motorway is needed. Not one to enjoy a whole day or weekend visiting.Robin wrote: ↑22 May 2022, 09:21 Mansfield are another small club with a benefactor pumping in loads of money, if they come up the investment will keep them up.

Agreed. The manager has grit and the likes of Wilson have pedigree.little mo wrote:I thought Vale were superb. Mansfield could'nt live with them first half. Hussey out injured,again. Wilson up front was top drawer. They will be no pushovers.
They are also one of the better run clubs with the owners really connecting the club back with the community after previous ownership fiascos.
I don’t like the soap dodging herberts but begrudgingly respect the club.
