Previously known as the Field Mill, the One Call Stadium is the oldest in the football league, having hosted football since the 1950’s. The historic ground was located directly across the road from a large water-powered textile mill before it was demolished in 1925. The ground changed its name to the One Call Stadium in April 2012 due to a new sponsorship deal.
 
The first team to be formed in Mansfield was the Greenhalgh’s XI which was founded in 1861 for the employees of the textile mill. The team slowly grew and entered the FA Cup for the first time in 1891.
