History of the Mansfield Town v Hull City fixture

Hull City pack their bags to visit Mansfield Town at Field Mill on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tigers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 4 of the 22 games.

The previous match played between the two at Field Mill was within the last three years, in September 2001, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a League Division Three match.
