                                   ( click picture to enlarge )

With thanks to the SSA the Bishop street now features a brand new frontage, SSA agreed to fund the redevelopment of the top advertising boards on the roof so the club can once again benefit for more income in the near future. The Club, 12th Stag and SSA got together to design and create the great looking frontage.
The added benefit now for the 12th Stag is the ' Hole In The Roof' is clearly visible via a Goal sign and the hole clearly painted red.
The hole in the roof was one of the many success stories for the 12th Stag last season, as fans of the club pledge money via www.stagsnet.net ( Stags supporters main fans internet forum ) for the ball to drop into the hole, which it did 3 times which made the 12th Stag just over £3000.
If you would like to take part in the pledges and raise money for the 12th stag then please email me with your pledge to info@12thstag.org

12th Stag Summer Signings

12th Stag Present cheque to Mansfield Town FC new 12th Stag signings for this season.
See above Mansfield Town Fans with Joe Kendrick, Ross Dyer and Matt Green.

£11,400 was donated to the club this summer to help bring in the trio to help build a championship winning squad.
We would like to wish all the squad a very successful season and look forward to seeing all four 12th Stag players helping us gain promotion this season.

12th Stag delve deep for Dyer fee

12th Stag has generously donated £6,000 to cover the compensation fee for Ross Dyer.
Signed from Forest Green Rovers in early June, the former Hednesford frontman is under 24 and therefore a compensation fee was negotiated between us and the Gloucestershire outfit.

Dyer scored only four goals in 26 starts from his unfavoured position on the wing last season but manager Paul Cox has tipped him to return to his freescoring ways once employed in a forward position.

This is the single largest donation made by The 12th Stag adding to the sizeable funds already put forward to assist the signings of striker Matt Green and defender Joe Kendrick in the past fortnight.

12th Stag Co-ordinator and Business Development Manager Paul Nyland said: "We would like to wish Ross all the best for the forthcoming season and look forward to him forming a great partnership with, both, or either one of the other 12th Stag signings Matt Green and Paul Connor.
