Mansfield Town has received approval from the Mansfield District Council to expand its football academy at the Radford & Hymas training site. The plans include the construction of new buildings, featuring an indoor pitch, an outdoor pitch with lighting, and a gym. Additional car parking facilities are also part of the proposal.
