In 1928–29, Mansfield won the Midland League title by a nine-point margin and beat two Football League clubs on the way to their first appearance in the fourth round of the FA Cup, in which they lost 2–0 to Arsenal at Highbury.[2]
Geographically, Mansfield lay on the border between the catchment areas of the Northern and Southern sections of the regionalised Third Division of the League. They had previously applied for election to the

Notes
- ^ From the 1931–32 Football League season onwards, divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system, and separately from the pre-League divisions.
- ^ a b Two points deducted for fielding an ineligible player.[1]
- ^ The goals against figure of 64 in the NonLeague Matters source is a typo; all contemporary newspapers have 54, and tables published for matchdays before the final table are consistent with that figure.[11][18]
- ^ The 1939–40 season was abandoned with three matches played when the Second World War began.[6]
- ^ Although the Football League did not resume until the 1946–47 season, the FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs.[6][13]
- ^ All clubs facing re-election, which included Mansfield, were accepted unopposed, in recognition of the circumstances.[4]
- ^ The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two.[23] Mansfield had two points deducted for fielding an ineligible player.[6]
