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]

The highlight of a mediocre league season was a trip to the FA Trophy Final. This is the first finals appearance for the team in 24 years.[2] In the other competition entered, the FA Cup, the club was beaten in the First Round by Torquay United.

Pre-Season

Mansfield warmed up for the season with 8 pre-season friendlies, 3 at home and 5 away.
