All the information you need ahead of Tuesday's Sky Bet League One game against Oxford United

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

The Foundation will have their inflatable football challenge in the University of Lincoln Fan Village. You'll also be able to spot Poacher the Imp around the ground - why not get a selfie with him?

Pumpkin Trail

Be sure to join in with our pumpkin trail around the LNER Stadium! Pick up a map from the ticket office and begin the trail for your chance to win a range of prizes such as a copy of EA FC 24, a mascot package, tickets to the upcoming fireworks event and much more!
 
The first 10 entries are guaranteed prizes - to sign up, or for more information, email marketing@theredimps.com

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 5.30pm.

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 5pm-6pm, 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 and latest news from around the club.

The enhanced teamsheet can be purchased at all home matches for just 50p around the ground from around 7pm. These will be available in the ticket office and the Red Imps Community Trust stand in the University of Lincoln Fan Village. Teamsheets can also be purchased from the 50/50 draw sellers at the northern end of the stadium. Alternatively, you can order your copy online HERE.

Tickets 

We recommend purchasing tickets in advance to beat the queues, but they can also be purchased from the ticket office right up to kick-off.
