What have the Managers said?
Mansfield Town boss Nigel Clough:
“It's been a long 10 months to work towards this, so we just want to perform somewhere near our best on Saturday. It’s going to be a good day if we get a result. We're not going there for anything other than that.
“You have to separate yourself from people going down for a weekend and having a great day out. We're going to Wembley for work, nothing else, just work.”
Port Vale manager Darrell Clarke:
"The focus has just been on trying to build and bring success to what I think are exceptional owners and people behind the scenes and the support base.
"I'm not interested in personal accolades. My motivation comes from wanting to do well for others. I know that sounds cheesy but that's how I am."
