Rugby league history
Mansfield Marksman were founded in 1984 as a new Rugby Football League Second Division club, deliberately placed in Mansfield for its proximity to Yorkshire's rugby league heartland, and sponsored by Mansfield Brewery (whose 'Marksman' lager gave the club its name). The club ground-shared Field Mill with Mansfield Town F.C. from 1984 until its final match there, a 2-32 loss to Leigh on 2 Feb 1986, after which it relocated to North Street, Alfreton, then Lowmoor Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, then Harvey Hadden Stadium, Nottingham, being renamed Nottingham City in 1989 before folding in 1994.
Historically also used for cricket (1919-1921), greyhound racing (1928-1931) and athletics/cycle-racing (19th century); today exclusively a football ground.
