Mansfield Town Chairman, Andrew Perry, has made an offer to the locals of Mansfield that they can't refuse. For this week's game against Gateshead, supporters can pay what they like to watch the game sitting in any seat except those occupied by season ticket holders. The offer even applies to visiting fans, although FootballCynic wonders whether supporters should pay after the match rather than before. The idea could be extended, perhaps, to allow supporters to vote on how much each player should be paid that week. Supporters of Chelsea might vote to give John Terry a mere £50,000 this week, for example. Further, the price of a hot dog could be on a pay-what-you-want basis.

It's been a turnround for Mansfield Town. They are under new management and are currently in a play off place in the Conference hoping for a swift return to League action. It doesn't seem so long ago that there were protests there when the owners could have charged good money for to let the supporters out before the game ended as you can see from the picture below.
