Family zone

We are one of the leading clubs in the country for family excellence and are extremely proud to be one of the few that hold a gold standard for this.

We’d love to welcome you down to the LNER Stadium to watch a game this season and experience all we have on offer.

From football sessions on the 3G AstroTurf, to inflatable challenges ran by Lincoln City Foundation and games in the Co-op Community Hub, there is something for everyone to enjoy on our matchdays.

We’re particularly proud of our University of Lincoln Fan Village which we continue to develop season by season based on the feedback provided by our supporters. Here you will be able to taste a variety of locally sourced delights, as well as enjoy a range of premium beers and ciders before kick-off, at half-time and after the game.

We welcome you to watch our games in a way which suits you by choosing between our dedicated family stands, a safe standing block, or in our accessible areas for disabled supporters.

Here to help team

The SLO team includes Heidi Langham, Libby White, Alan Long and Kev Morley who all work to help improve the matchday experience for supporters.

City’s matchday announcer and SLO Alan Long said: “Our role as a team is very much based on matchday fan engagement. Primarily our role is to meet and greet both home and visiting supporters, assisting with any issues they may have.

“Prior to home games, I contact my counterpart at the visiting club with parking information and visitor guide plus anything else relevant to their visit. I also put information on social media on matchdays for fans ahead of the game.

“At the LNER Stadium we host a number of moments of magic throughout the matchday too. These range from painting the penalty spots, putting out the corner flags, reading the teams out and watching warm-ups from the dugout. Players in the non-matchday squad are also taken to the family stand to meet supporters.

“We always have a minimum of two SLO's at every away game to help troubleshoot any issues supporters have.

“Next time you attend an Imps match either home or away, make sure you come and say hello to the SLO team."

The SLO team are on social media and can be seen HERE.

Matchday introduction

The Here to Help team runs a fans familiarisation opportunity at all home matchdays.

Supporters attending the LNER Stadium for the first time, or those wishing to gain a better understanding about what is on offer at the ground on a matchday, can attend a familiarisation tour.

Supporters can make their way to the SLO desk inside the ticket office situated behind the Greenlinc Renewables Stand for 1.30pm on a Saturday matchday, or 6.15pm on a midweek matchday (7.45pm KO).

A member of our SLO team will provide a warm welcome, as well as a brief tour of the stadium and an induction of the key timings that day, such as what's on in the popular University of Lincoln Fan Village.

Supporters wishing to make the most of this opportunity can do so by arriving at the SLO desk on the day, or by booking a place in advance by messaging the SLO team on X (Twitter) – their handle is @LCFCSLO.
