MEMBERS of the Royal Air Force have come to the aid of Mansfield Town.
The club asked for volunteers to report to the ground this morning, after six inches of snow fell on the pitch and surrounding areas.
And members of the Royal Air Force, along with the youth team and volunteers began to clear snow from the pitch at 9.15am today.
Cpl. Gary Whitworth of RAF Wittering said: "I've supported Mansfield all my life and don't want the weather to stop our chances of promotion.
"We've not got much on at the minute (work-wise) so I thought I'd ask a few of our lads to come and help clear the snow following the club's appeal, which they were happy to do."
Meanwhile, Mansfield's match at home to Macclesfield Town has been re-arranged for Tuesday April 9.
The game was postponed on Saturday after more heavy snow had fallen over Mansfield.
