Of course it isn't, pre-seasons are notoriously difficult to get people to, usually because they're crappy training games. Clubs try and arrange one flagship game and they've already got theirs.
We usually organise two games when we go overseas? Anyway, it's a moot point, we're in agreement it won't happen, although I think that's more down to our club not engaging with them for whatever reason.
The very nice man in the media department at Mansfield has apologised for any offence caused and is amending the article to the correct name.
Note the word "would". Past tense. I am agreeing with a previous post, not suggesting it as a fresh idea. If Newcastle can get a game there, we would not have had a problem. It is pity that we may not get a fixture there as the Yellow Brother (Lokeren Supporters Group) invited us back, when they came over earlier this year and they want to build a stronger relationship between the two clubs sets of supporters.

I don't know what happened there, I was sure I hadn't posted the first one and I amended it when he actually changed it. I'm getting dafter.
I think there is a problem with the site a couple of posters have posted, said their post disappeared, so they did it again, then the first post suddenly appeared back.
Wonder if the club will actually get its act together and arranges a pre-season friendly with our 'friends' from Belgium? Too sensible a suggestion no doubt; I'm sure many of our fans would support a fixture against Lokeren
