2010–11 Mansfield Town F.C. season
The 2010–2011 Season of Mansfield Town F.C. was its third in the Conference National, following their relegation after the 2007–08 season. The season saw a protracted financial dispute between the club and their former owner, Keith Haslam, who had sold the club in 2008 but retained ownership of the Field Mill stadium. On 2 December 2010, the team was locked out of Field Mill by Haslam over non-payment of rent.[1]
