Johnny Johnson tributes

City will use the match to pay tribute to Dambuster Johnny Johnson who passed away recently.

Johnny, the last surviving Dambuster, will be remembered at this weekend’s match with a minute’s applause before kick-off. City's players will also wear black armbands.

Supporters are kindly asked to get to their seats earlier than usual to join in with the tribute.

University of Lincoln Fan Village

A variety of different food options will be available for supporters from 12:30pm. Coddy Cones, Yellowbelly Sausage, Barbell Burger and Curry Jacks will all be present supplying their locally-sourced delights.

Tipsy Imp are a new addition providing a wide range of premium beers and ciders.

Another new addition in the Fan Village is an Imps retail unit. Following a recent retail survey, supporters requested additional retail options around the LNER Stadium so the club and Elite Pro Sports have teamed up to make this happen.

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.
