Ahead of the visit of Morecambe on Saturday afternoon, we are able to provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium.
University of Lincoln Fan Village
For those looking to relax and enjoy the matchday atmosphere, there is a wide range of food and drink options in the University of Lincoln Fan Village - including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.
Tipsy Imp will provide a wide range of premium beers and ciders. A variety of soft drinks are also available across the fan village.
The Imps retail unit will also be in operation, providing supporters the opportunity to kit themselves out with our home, away, third, goalkeeping and warm-up ranges.
The Red Imps Community Trust will have their stall including old programmes for sale.
Family activities
Poacher's Den, introduced for the 2022/23 season by the club's Foundation, is City's family-friendly area which is open to supporters of both sides ahead of games at the LNER Stadium
Based at the north end of the GBM Stand and accessed via Sincil Bank, there is now a pool table, putting green and speed stack challenge. A new TV has also been installed for those wishing to play FIFA on the PlayStation.
This is all in addition to the Xbox, table tennis, fussball table and other fun activities at every game.
Poacher's Den is just one of the free activities in place at every home match, with free children's football sessions on the 3G pitch opposite the SRP Stand from 12.30pm every Saturday - there is no need to book on, simply turn up from 12.30pm.
Due to the weather, there will not be the usual interactive challenge in the University of Lincoln Fan Village ran by Lincoln City Foundation.
Supporter liaison officers
Our SLO team will be around the stadium before and during the game, look out for them or our 'Here To Help' team - they will all be clearly identified. We have a matchday familiarisation opportunity for any supporters who are new to the stadium - this is free and there is no need to sign up, simply head to the ticket office for 1.30pm.
Alan Long, who heads our SLO team, also guides you through what a matchday looks like in this welcome video below.
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.
Teamsheet
The Imps have launched a new, enhanced teamsheet for this season, featuring the starting line-ups as well as notes from the interim head coach or news from around the club.
The enhanced teamsheet can be purchased at all home matches for just 50p around the ground. These will be available in the ticket office, the Red Imps Community Trust stand in the University of Lincoln Fan Village, or the 50/50 draw sellers at the northern end of the stadium from around 2.15pm. Alternatively, you can order your copy online HERE.
