Imps staying on track with LNER

City have extended their partnership with LNER - with our home continuing to be known as the LNER Stadium.

The relationship with LNER has gone from strength to strength since December 2019, with the tone set by victory over Tranmere Rovers in the first game at the newly-renamed venue.

Since then, there have been a range of initiatives including the introduction of the Train of Fame - a unique way of celebrating the club's former players.

Andrew Whitham, City's director of sales, said: "We've come a long way since we agreed this partnership with LNER, and it's fantastic we can extend the deal until at least the end of the 2025/26 season.

"LNER has transformed the city's connectivity to London through their train services and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do to celebrate this partnership at home games throughout the next two seasons." 

David Flesher, commercial director at LNER, said: “We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with Lincoln City. 

“Our direct daily Azuma services between Lincoln and London King’s Cross provide vital connections for the city and help to promote the region. 

“The LNER Stadium is at the heart of the community for many in the city and we look forward to continuing to work together.”

City and LNER are celebrating the extended partnership with a competition for supporters to win access to LNER’s box for the first home league game of the season against Barnsley on Saturday 17 August.
