Matchday guide: Bowers & Pitsea (H)

Ahead of the Emirates FA Cup fixture with Bowers & Pitsea on Saturday, we are able to provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium.

Match theme

This is our remembrance fixture, with the Imps wearing special shirts featuring poppies which will then be auctioned off for the Royal British Legion. There will be poppy sellers around the ground, plus badges which also feature the Lincoln City badge available in the club store. Those in the stadium are asked to be in their seats as early as possible so everyone can pay their respects before the game with a bugler performing the Last Post and a minute's silence.

University of Lincoln Fan Village

A variety of different food options will be available for supporters from 12noon. Sausage Grill, Curry Jacks, Love Coffee, the Yellowbelly Sausage Company and the Barbell Burger Co will all be present supplying their locally-sourced delights.

Lincoln City Foundation will be running events for our younger fans, including target practice for budding footballers and fireworks-related drawing activities.
 
Tension Twisted Realities will be present with their virtual reality headsets sets. The Red Imps Community Trust will have their stall including old programmes for sale, with the Former Players Association interviewing former players.
 
Elite Pro Sports will have a new pop-up shop where supporters can get themselves kitted out in the latest club merchandise.
 
A variety of alcoholic and soft drinks are available.

Food court

There is a brand new food court outside the Selenity Stand which is also available at half-time. Hot drinks are now available.

Tickets

Tickets can be purchased from the ticket office before the match but we strongly reccomend purchasing online at eticketing.co.uk/imps.

Season members can use their e-tickets or season cards. Anyone who has not received their card is asked to contact tickets@theredimps.com as early as possible so an access card can be printed out for collection via the ticket office.

Gold and Gold+ Members who utilise our e-ticket option may have seen their card disappear from their Apple Wallet following an update to iOS 15. To fix this issue, select Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Hide Expired Passes. Following this process, your digital season card will reappear in your Apple Wallet.

Travelling supporters can purchase tickets in the away end - these must be bought from the ticket office before the game.

First-time visitors & travelling fans

We warmly welcome new visitors to the LNER Stadium as well as travelling supporters. Check out our guide for everything you need to know to plan your visit.

 

Audio descriptive commentary

The Imps provide a free audio descriptive commentary service for fans with visual impairments. Headsets and receivers can be collected from the ticket office before the game (from the SLO point 12noon-2pm, then from the ticket office desks). Fans are encouraged to bring their own headphones where possible to minimise the amount of equipment needed to be shared - the receivers have a standard aux output. Anyone with questions about the service are asked to contact disability liaison officer Heidi Langham on dlo@theredimps.com.
