Anybody know what the ticket situation is for Mansfield tomorrow? Happen to be in the area and considering popping along but haven't seen any ticketing details anywhere.

Mansfield only seem to be opening the main stand. Tried calling them but going around and around on hold.

I've ordered tickets from the Mansfield ticketing website for the away end .
I'm unsure if any are available on the day .
 
I'm sure I read somewhere only available online but couldn't find it, so I tried ringing Oxford Ticket office at 1pm, no answer.
I rang Mansfield Town, eventually they answered the phone and said can buy on day from their ticket office, but she didn't sound convincing!! Something along the lines "should" be able to buy from ticket office.
 
I'm sorry but the communication on pre-season friendlies this season is absolutely shocking!!!

The last time the Mansfield game was mentioned on our website was on the 12th July (2 weeks ago!) - https://www.oufc.co.uk/news/ticket-details-mansfield-town-pre-season-fixture

In previous seasons there use to be at least an 'updated' article posted on the website (abit the same information as previously posted) the day before the match, and sometimes even a preview of the game.

In fact there is not even a mention about this game on Twitter/X today or during this week.

Please come back Chris Williams!

It’s a pre season friendly, all the information you need was posted two weeks ago. What more do you actually need?!

It is an away friendly.
What are you missing?

I am not missing anything, though our fellow fans might want to be reminded that we have a game tomorrow who had forgotten, or be informed of the details again and go along to support our club? Not even a mention on X about the game tomorrow.

I would expect a preview even if it is a friendly.
Agree
 
I would expect a preview even if it is a friendly.
Don’t remember there being a club preview for the Oxford City or Solihull games? BBC Oxfordshire posted details of live coverage on Facebook earlier today for the game tomorrow. So if I was going, I’d know what to do, if I’m not going I know how to listen. I expect previews of our two home friendlies against Palermo and Southampton but not for these low key games.

Exactly - no club preview for either of those games.

I am just comparing it to previous seasons where Chris Williams put out reminders on the website/Twitter for away pre-season friendlies the day before the games - https://www.oufc.co.uk/news/2023/july/preview-us-head-for-eastleigh

As you mention though Eaststanding, all the information was posted 2 weeks ago which is fine, but the communication is still light in my opinion...

Depends what you need, and what you want. I just don’t see this as a reason to have a pop at the club, plenty will though because they’ll make it a reason to do so.
Anyway, anyone who didn’t realise there’s a game tomorrow certainly will now…our work here is complete, the club can thank us later.

So they did a poor job for those games as well.
 
Really?! It’s a pre-season friendly. Anyone who is likely to go will know about it, Or am I missing something? (admittedly, I may have had a few - it is Friday after all).
 
‘They’ being the club, not the comms manager? Your opinion. Not mine.

Whoever is responsible for the OWS content. It really won't take much time to put a preview on there considering they pretty much follow a standard set up. And it is still a first team game, regardless of being a friendly.

Yes, it was very clearly my opinion.
