History of the Mansfield Town v Accrington Stanley fixture

Accrington S. travel to take on Mansfield Town at Field Mill on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 13 out of 20 times.

The last time the two teams met at Mansfield Town was way back in the black-and-white days of March 1961, when they played out a goalless draw in a Fourth Division match.
