History of Mansfield Town F.C.
Mansfield marked the new era with another change of kit - this time to amber and royal blue halves. This saw the team pick up the nickname 'The Ambers'. The first league season back after the War saw Mansfield win the Central Alliance title, beating Ilkeston United to the title by one point. This was despite losing the last three games of the season. The 1920–21 season looked like it would go the same way, with Mansfield winning 10 out of the first 12 games of the season. Mansfield eventually slumped to 5th in the table, 15 points behind champions Leicester City Reserves. The Ambers also reached the Fifth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup and the Final of the Notts Senior Cup, losing both (to Worksop Town and Nottingham Forest respectively) after a replay.
