The chief executive of non-league Mansfield, Carolyn Still, was held for using threatening words and behaviour during Mansfield Town's Blue Square Bet Premier play-off semi-final against York City on Wednesday night.

It is understood she received a caution for her behaviour in Grosvenor Terrace, next to York's Bootham Crescent stadium.

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: 'A 29-year-old woman from Retford was arrested at 9pm on Wednesday 2 May 2012, on Grosvenor Terrace, York, for using threatening words and behaviour. She was given an adult caution before being released.'

During the eventful game Mansfield, who had a player sent off, survived to hold York to a 1-1 draw.

Mansfield Town have declined to comment.

Politics graduate Still is the youngest CEO in English football. On her arrival last year, she said: 'It's a great privilege for me to be offered the chance to lead this football club. I intend to add vibrancy and fresh ideas to our approach off the field.

'Having attended numerous fundraising events, organised by the club's supporters groups, I am well aware of the passion and enthusiasm that the fans have to see the Stags succeed.

'I want to wake sleeping fans with a lot of different initiatives by liaising with them and finding what they want. Much work has been done to develop relationships with key businesses in and around Mansfield."
