Saturday 5 August 2023

No goals but plenty of cards.

Saturday 5 August 2023, Skegness Town 0 AFC Mansfield 0  - FA Cup, Extra Preliminary Round, Vertigo Stadium.


Heavy rain most of the way but stopped as soon as we got to the ground (about 2.15pm) and only had a few spots of light rain throughout the game.

Game of two halves, Skegness missing a penalty early on and possible should have been awarded a second penalty before the break. Not a dirty game but a few players ( mainly from Mansfield) ended up in the Ref's book.


Second half, and it was AFC Mansfield who were on top, but as with Skegness in the first half, poor finishing let them down.


Ref had time to issue a few more yellow cards and just before the end, a visiting player got his second yellow card and so Mansfield finished the game with 10 men.


Modern stadium, plenty of room for more stands if they veer moved up the pyramid, but unlikely any time soon if they play like this.
