NCEL Premier leaders AFC Mansfield are hoping for good local support when they take on title rivals Pickering Town in a massive showdown on Saturday (3pm).

The Bulls have an eight point lead at the top after Saturday’s 4-0 home win over Staveley MW, but it remains on a knife-edge with second-placed Pontefract having five games in hand and Pickering, also eight points behind, having three games in hand.

Boss Rudy Funk said: “It’s all set for a great encounter and it would be nice to have a bit of support to see two teams go head to head in such a massive game.

“If people come they will definitely enjoy it as there is lots of good football played in this division.

“In my opinion this is a game which will decide each club’s destiny. We are both very close to each other.

“We are riding high in top spot but they have games in hand on us and it will be very interesting to see the outcome.
