The Bulls travel to Mansfield on Saturday to take on the "Stags" for the first time in over four years. Admission is believed to be £15 for adults, £12 for concessions (OAPs and Students), £8 for U16s and £4 for U10s.

HUISA – Depart 10.30am from Radford's. Fare £15 (non-members £17). Book through the Club office on 08442 761939.

BY CAR - From Hereford go to Worcester joining the M5 at J7. At M5 J4A join the M42. At junction 3A take care to remain on the M42 by following signs for M42 The North. Continue to the end of the M42 and join the A42. Continue to the M1 joining the northbound carriageway at J23A. Travel north on the M1 to junction 28 where you leave to join the A38 (sign Mansfield/Matlock). At traffic signals continue forward following signs for Mansfield. After 2 miles, turn right into Mansfield Road (A6023) and straight on at the lights (A38). You will pass the Travel Lodge. Continue along the A38 onto Sutton Road. At "Sir John Cockle" public house continue forward (sign Town Centre). At traffic signals, turn right onto Rosemary Street A6009 (sign A38, Nottingham A60). At traffic signals, continue forward onto A60 (sign Nottingham). At traffic signals, turn right into Quarry Lane. Field Mill will be visible. Parking is uncertain, as I believe they now offer reserved parking only. There are public car parks on Union Street and Walkden Street off the A6009.  Distance Approx 125 miles. Allow 3 hours because of peak-time traffic particularly on M42. POSTCODE NG18 5DA.

TRAIN – Mansfield station is a ten-minute walk from Fieldmill and is served by trains from Nottingham.

ALEHOUSES – An old favourite is The Court House (Spoons) in Market Place while The Talbot on Nottingham Road (near Sainsburys) has received decent reviews. Coming into Mansfield from the M1, you will pass (or not as the case may be) The Sir John Cockle. It's a decent size pub that does food and keeps a couple of hand-pumps as well as the usual major brands. A further four hundred yards will take you to The Bold Forrester, which is a real ale fan's paradise. The supporters' bar at the ground does, normally, allow visiting fans.

CHIPS – The Barracuda Fish Bar is near to The Sir John Cockle pub. There is a KFC and John's Fish Bar going out of town on the Nottingham Road (left out of the ground and right at the end of Quarry Lane).
