More special than Special Brew, Mansfield is the place to be when it comes to chav spotting. Tarted-up Novas, Sierras and Escorts are de rigueur round and about the town of Mansfield. The handy location of the cinema complex, within a stone’s throw of both a Maccas and a KFC drive-thru ensures that the chavs and chavettes never get hungry, whilst tearing around the Gala bingo car park, or catching such cinematic classics as 2fast2furious or the more high-brow, Scarymovie3. The Safeway directly opposite also serves as a great stop off point, for post-coital fags and rolling papers and is an ideal place to ‘tank up’ ready for a hard night on the ‘circuit’ with your lady friend. Before actually hitting the chav Mecca of the town centre, there are many hotspots along the way, which should not be overlooked.
All chav overlords’, and wannabe gangstas are familiar with the Halfords car park located on the main road, it seems a natural arena for eager Ben Sherman sporting ruffians to deck out their chavwagons at cut-prices, and show off their rims and spoilers to each other before hitting the bright lights that the town centre provides. For the more discerning lady chavs this time can be spent either treating themselves to a manicure or sun bed in the nearby shops, or can be passed simply sitting on the surrounding wall in skin-tight white ¾ length tracksuits, smoking and texting their acquaintances, or hollering at ‘bitches’ to ‘keep their filthy hands off their man innit?’ For those with a touch more time on their hands a light snack or beverage can be obtained at one of the three nearby public houses, or for the bolder chavette, a quick trip to the clap clinic for the morning after pill can be achieved with little effort, in this timespan.
The four seasons shopping centre is an ideal chav hangout, boasting a wide range of chav shops, and handily leads directly to the bus station, where the younger chavlings are often to be found eating batter bits and supping 20/20 waiting for the 737 into Nottingham. For young chav mothers there is the obligatory lift, for accessibility, and for beating their chav offspring away from prying eyes. When actually inside the shopping mall, is it impossible to avoid chavs of all ages and sizes. Their presence is like a yeast infection- incredibly annoying, and multiplying by the minute. The baby Britney’s and Wayne’s of the world will be found in top-to-toe Adidas, throwing tantrums directly outside, hotly tailed by the obligatory overweight, smoking, 19 year old gutter-mouthed mother, sporting the latest in council estate chic.
For five-fingered discounts, the scumsters have a wide variety of outlets, with the boys hitting HMV or Discount Sports and girls favouring Superdrug and Claire’s Accessories, where they can easily lift garish hair colours, false nails and hoopy earrings by slipping them into the folds of their puffa jackets or their stomachs. The Tesco in the town centre is also targeted by phat-farm clad wigga-youths,
As for nightlife, come to Mansfield and you are guaranteed a night you will never forget. You will quite literally be scarred for life, if not by the glassing you may receive, then by the wrongness that will never leave you as long as you live. The Swan, Liquid and The Banque are where wall to wall Burberry will be witnessed and underage chavettes decked out in more gold than Mister T prove that when it comes to clothing, less is most definitely not more. It’s a special, special town, where the peasant underclass really does rule the roost, knocking back faux-Smirnoff Ices and blue WKD’s; the chavs bask in their own little paradise. Be sure not to miss the fights and brawls at kicking out time (generally over the parentage of some chavling or another), which really are something to behold. Any chav worth their Fubu, will be proud to admit that, as the BBC documentary proved, Mansfield really does provide the most violent night out in the British Isles!
Mansfield could not be Mansfield without the constant blaring of sirens, car alarms and badly fitted nova exhausts. The blinding brightness of Reebok Classics or Lacosts, the clink, clink of bling bling, and the foul mouthed token fat slags on the busses into and out of chav central. Lycra was made for the women of Mansfield, as were STD tests and sterilisation. Without chavs Mansfield would be a ghost town. There would be no one to club the elderly to death for a chip and pea supper, to keep Argos, the knock-off Next, or Barratt’s Shoes open or to finance Maccas, Bay Trading or Intersport. Come to Mansfield, you’ll never leave (at least not without contracting syphilis first.)
This I think this is abit harsh.. Iv lived in mansfield all my life.. and yeah there are people that dress in clothes from sports direct but way does that make them any less of a person! There are people that you what to kick in the face, they are so rude but there are also alot of nice people if you stop and look around, get off your high horse and stop looking down your nose at people!! I dont think it is any worse then walking around any other city.. you always get rude knob heads every where you go but just because mansfield is abit rowdy, the night life isnt the best and there are a couple empty shops it doesnt make it a bad place to live!! get your head out your ass and look around.. there isnt many other places out there thats better.. unless you can put money where you extremly big mouth is..
Go to Bulwell… Now that really is Chav Town
I moved to Mansfield from the south east and at first I thought it was quite a rough place but the place grows on you. Yes some people may not have as much money as people in other towns but they have a general respect for each other and you always end up talking to strangers on a night out.
Every town has Chavs and spotty rude teenagers and Mansfield is no better but I cant understand why some people on here try to defend this story by using text talk and spelling very poorly and swearing. YOU are the people the writer is talking about and you have just proved him right… Think before you write ! Morons in every town !!!!
you lying hypocritical barstard,after what you did to my face with a beer glass last June in the Rose and Crown,and you broke my wheel chair.People like you should be sent to prison for a long long time,not just let off with a tag and community service.
Ian I mean down below (cant see to well not with one eye)

Mansfield is a wonderful place, I have lived in conservative areas of the country, such as Cheshire and West Bridgford and I have returned to the Mansfield area.
Lovely, friendly people who would do anything for you.
Lots of things to do, farms, wildlife trusts, national trust, shopping, decent restaurants, cinema, bowling, swimming, ice skating. My list could go on. The person who wrote this is a CHAV. Who on earth just wants to go to PUBS and CLUBS. How boring. Get a life.
I love Mansfield, if I was a millionaire I would stay in this wonderful place, it’s just fantastic.
Long live Mansfield and all the lovely friendly people. x x x x
Another lying bastard your Ians f**king girlfriend you would say that wouldnt you,unberlieavabubble unberleavafuckin bubble.
Liar your Ians girlfriend inberleavabubble fuckingunberleavabubble
Mansfield is the epitamy of emptiness and poverty and the fact that people less fortune than us feel they have offerings other than to enlighten us with text speak, only to, in fact highlight the fact that, yes, Mansfield, you have and always will be an infested vile puke ridden state of disrepair and i hate you. See you at Christmas.
yeah and you live in a cardboard box at the back of Marks and Sparks Sophie Thompson,so dont give it all the charlie big spuds,bet you wish you worked harder at school now dont ya?…………….remember at junior school you used to show all the boys your fanny under the desk?and I poked it with a sharped HB pencil?
Mansfield is a place that’s just been left to rot, old tacky shops followed by out of date shopping centre that seriously needs nocking down. Right lets get down to the night life errr; what nightlife? cheezey r&b, dance music being played alnight followed by the town idiots looking for a fight. The town really needs to buck up its ideas, change its attitude & move on with rest of the UK.
Ahaa , you are having a laugh aren’t you? soo there may be the odd chav and a young mum, soo what, if you don’t live in mansfield i don’t think you have the right to moan about it, i bet the person whos wrote this is someone who as a child got bullied by a chav, and has grew up to hate them with a passion, i myself have grew up in mansfield, on oak tree lane est, and i have never been glassed, intimidated bby a chav, etc. I have been into mansfield many times, and have never seen as many chavs as i do emos,goths, skaters, scene kids, etc, if am honest, mansfield is more over run, by people skating and bmxing through town, and also blasting out there moshy music. I think Nottingham is more over run by chavs, everywhere you go there whering adidas or nike, walking with a limp and going ‘Brap’ ‘Bled’ ‘Rate Shag’ and many other saying. Sooo, i think you need to get your facts straight you silly person!
Have a nice dayyou waster!
who do u think u are u batty man bet ur a little geek sat behind a computer get down circuit or markets in town and tell us this to our face fuckin freak sorry were not all oaps an like to like and rebok classics ppffftt…. we can tell how old u are u faggot u missed nike air max witch are worth alot more comared to the shitflickers you probiblaly wear and yh i am shit at speelin but least am not a prejadice c**t and u dirty perv “slaggy chavs” cant be that bad coz ur noticing them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good day
Oh my God, its not as bad as most places in England! On the plus side you have friendly people who actually talk to you, a nice accent, variety of shops and nightlife and loads fo housing plus good links to Nottingham. Its not a ‘hard’ place like Coventry is.
Mansfield District Council should just offer chavs the latest, greatest mobile phone (on PAYG of course) in exchange for them having non-reversible sterilisation. One generation later – no chavs. I wish I could say I was joking but the whole chav “culture” has sucked my humanity from me and left me an uncaring husk.
absolute shithole absolute cunts absolutely wank hate the place and hate the east midlands too
As an ex-Mansfielderian i agree with much of what’s said here – it’s a hole that somehow defied gravity and not fell into the abyss made from the mineshafts over the years.
In reality its no different to hundreds of other towns strewn across the country – you find a nice small town/city and in many cases it’s associated to a high brow college or some influencial person/mp that’s brought in investment.
The biggest mysteries are places like stoke, skegness, blackpool – these places actually have decent money coming in yet still decide to maintain an ambience that would make a tramp think twice about stopping
^ its ashame those c’s and d’s wernt in english language eh what in gods name does ‘ows a boot’ mean.
Peace Out.
Also Mansfield is not a fun night out its boring the clubs are full of drips the pubs are full of twats so your left with nowhere to go.
i fink evry 1 ort 2 stop sayin thngs bou pple avin 6 kids and sittin on the circuit smackd out the tree wi no quailifacations coz gess wt i av gt cs n ds n i dnt gt smakd out me tree on the circuit and i aint got 6 kids at the end of the day its sum wre 2 c ya m8s insted of sittin in al nyt bein brd shitless at the end of the day u jst myt b jealous cz u aint gt a lyf n us lot enjoy it so ows a boot boloks biatch n sort ya fukin ed out. :0)
im sorry but i am so appalled by what i am reading on these pages with phases like “the underclass” and “council estate chic” i myself come from oak tree lane est and it is as rough as a dogs arse but putting people into these social grouping is totally wrong and mansfield is a great night out ok it doesnt have the glamour or sophiscation of nottingham but it serves its purpose as being a much needed social outlet for the masses. i really cant understand all the hatred im seeing were you lot not hugged as childern or something . peace
Great write up – so painfully true.
I managed to escape the black hole event horizon of Mansfield a few years ago so I should know…
