Introducing the visitors - MANSFIELD TOWN

Last updated : 29 September 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Mansfield Town provide Saturday's opposition giving both sets of supporters the chance to remember former player Matt Gadsby. Collecections will be in operation around the ground tomorrow for the Matt Gadsby Memorial Fund. The fund has already recieved support from England boss Steve McClaren who will be making an appearance at a memorial game in April. Liverpool's tinker man Rafa Benitez has also contacted Hinkley United and has indicated that bucket collections will be set up for a high profile game. A target of £25,000 has been set but with the current balance at £10,000 it looks like this target will be surpassed.

It will be a quiet atmosphere tomorrow as football is put into perspective. Both teams will be looking to take three points home in what will be difficult circumstances, especially the players who played alongside Matt.

On the football side of things Walsall still have a 100% record at home and will be looking to make it 6 out of 6 in the league. Mansfield visit looking to record their first away victory of the season.
