Mansfield show their class again

From BBC -

Mansfield Town Football Club is to issue legal proceedings against Ilkeston FC after three Stags' players were injured during a friendly.

Oh nice - we'll come and play you for a pre season friendly, help you raise a bit of cash unless we get a couple of injuries, then we'll sue the pants off you

I think it was more than just 'injured'. Wasn't this the one where three players were put in hospital?
If I'm not mistaken it was reported in last weekends NLP.

Ilkeston (and former Hucknall Town) striker Gary Ricketts was involved in three separate incidents which resulted in a Mansfield player being seriously injured.

I seem to recall that one incurred a broken collarbone; one suffered a severe facial injury and one ended up with a broken nose and circa 40 stitches after allegedly being pushed into the metal perimeter fencing.

I suspect that we wouldn't have been too amused if all that had happened to us.
