TEAM Mansfield are asking all Stags fans to attend a public meeting before the Macclesfield Town game at the Mansfield Civic Centre at 12.00 on Saturday 4 February to be followed by an optional peaceful march to Field Mill.
The theme of the day will be Giving Our Club its Heart Back with the aim of setting out a vision for our club to include:
· MTFC should exist for the benefit of its employees, its fans and the community not solely for its major shareholder.
· MTFC is first and foremost a football club. It should not exist for the major shareholder to strip large sums of cash by way of self confessed illegal loans to finance his lifestyle and to finance various property projects with the needs of the football club coming a very poor second.
· Restoring pride in our club. Despite being a new stadium Field Mill is shabby and uncared for. We need a regime at FM that cares for our club as much as we do.
· Engaging the community. For 13 years MTFC has been run by one man who is Chairman, Chief Executive, Major Shareholder, General Manager and sole Director. To allow one man to have so much influence over our club is wrong and damaging and needs to change.
· Progress on the pitch. The Stags are suffering their worst long term position in their League history. The link with this and Mr Haslam is obvious and must change.
