The Mansfield site shows the replay being available on IFollow -

Pay £10 - or less presumably for those of you with a foreign VPN - and watch in the warm on what is forecast to be a very cold night, particularly when we don't seem to take the Cup seriously and will possibly put out another under strength team. And no rushing to get there after work or long journeys home afterwards.
Attendances at games will surely plummet if this becomes widespread in the future.

The football business will collapse in on itself, with the TV money having filtered as far as it can and created an impass where no clubs can move up and none drop down.
The powers that be will decide the 'game' needs a shot in the arm and eventually we'll have virtual matches, won't need to actually pay any real players and the fans will be sold on the fact you don't have to travel to a game and stand in the cold, there'll be no more injuries, though there will still be transfer fees so there will still be a plot for fans to follow, and the grounds will become media centres where fans can 'plug in'.
I have a hangover.
Please note: Checkatrade Trophy matches are now available on iFollow, but there will be no Carabao Cup or FA Cup matches available to watch on the service.
