Mansfield Town face a trip to Bury at Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Stags will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 15 and win only 5 of the 29 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, with Bury running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a League Division Three match.
