28/04/2008 - Mansfield Town 0 Rotherham 1
Most Mansfield fans know just how lucky they are.
They have the privilege of living in a democratic country while people in countries all over the world are starving and homeless.
But try telling them relegation from the Football League - that is now almost certain - doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
From those who have been following the Stags for decades to those who have seen them in action for the first time this season, the pain brought on by their club's plight is plain for all to see.
For a long time there has been frustration at the way the club has been run.
There has been annoyance that some of the club's best talent has been allowed to leave without being replaced.
And there has been bemusement at an ongoing takeover saga that has been going on for a well over a year without a resolution in sight.
But nothing has hurt as much as what the long-suffering supporters went through during Saturday afternoon's defeat to Rotherham.
Hopes were high going into the match of Mansfield moving out of the bottom two - and the drop zone - for the first time in months after the previous week's victory over Shrewsbury.
But just as things had gone for them a week earlier, so they conspired against Mansfield.
Halfway through the second half all looked rosy. The game at Field Mill was goal-less, along with Notts County's clash at Meadow Lane with Wycombe, while Darlington were beating Dagenham 2-0.
But in the space of ten minutes, everything changed.
First news came through that not only had Dagenham pulled a goal back, but they had equalised and the Quakers were down to ten men.
Then it emerged Notts had gone a goal up against Wycombe while Daggers had taken the lead in the north-east, courtesy of an own goal.
Still, a draw would have been enough for Mansfield to take their fate into the last game and seal survival with victory at Dagenham.
However, with 71 minutes played, substitute Jamie Yates scored what proved to be the winner for Rotherham.
Now, all Mansfield can do is pray Chester lose tomorrow night at Stockport and again at Macclesfield on Saturday, which would enable the Stags to stay up by winning their own final match in East London.
Those afflicted by the gut-wrenching feeling that only an impending relegation can generate dealt with their heartache in different ways.
A stupid few turned to violence, attempting to storm the board room to confront owner Haslam.
The incident allegedly saw the club's former chief executive punched and kicked, meaning he required hospital treatment.
There was a big majority of supporters who were enraged enough by what has happened over the last nine months to protest against Haslam peacefully, by way of chanting for him to quit.
It is hard to remember the calls to go ever being so loud and concerted.
But then there were those for whom it was simply all too much. Some sat in their seats in silence, numb, contemplating what might have been and what now surely awaits.
Others tried to blink back tears and seek solace from their family and friends. Half an hour after the game there were still people sat on the grass bank outside the stadium with their head in their hands. It is the kind of situation that no Mansfield fan wanted to find themselves in - even if the writing has been on the wall all season.
What made the failure even harder to take - not that it wasn't difficult enough already - was the manner in which the Millers' winner was scored. With the ball about to cross the right touchline midway into the Mansfield half, Yates swung a hefty boot at it, attempting to kept the ball in play and possibly fire the ball towards the edge of the penalty area.
Not only did he succeed in keeping the ball alive, but he got enough on it to loop it over the stranded figure of Jason White and into goal to net with a freak strike from at the very least 40 yards.
It was reminiscent of the strike scored by Spanish player Nayim over Arsenal's David Seaman from almost the halfway line, and the type of goal as rare as a genuine Penny Black stamp.
And while the Rotherham following cavorted around in disbelieving delight, that moment all but booked trips to Histon, Forest Green and Ebbsfleet for the Stags next season.
As ever, when it came to the crunch, Mansfield were again unable to deliver.
There have been countless occasions where a victory would have propelled the club away from danger and built up some real momentum.
But not once has such an opportunity been grasped. That is the sign of a team destined for the drop.
For the staff that remain at Field Mill, there is the task of picking up the pieces from what manager Paul Holland admits has been a shambolic season.
While he talked post-match of problems off the field, he also felt the players should not use that as an excuse. Holland was quick to point out opponents Rotherham have had to put up with even worse in the shape of wage deferrals, yet have still managed a mid-table finish.
It was interesting, too, to hear the boss indicate he is up for the fight in the Blue Square Premier, throwing his hat into the ring to continue beyond the end of the season. But, once the drop is confirmed, how many of his better players will share his enthusiasm and want to stay?
Just as uncertain is what will happen to the club's ownership. John Batchelor is still waiting in the wings while James Derry has confirmed his consortium will withdraw.
But this was a match Stags fans will remember for a long time to come - for all the wrong reasons.
