Ahead of the visit of Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon (3pm), we can provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium.
Roadworks on Sincil Bank
There are ongoing development works on Sincil Bank north of the LNER Stadium. Although the road around the stadium itself is clear, please allow extra time and care if walking down Sincil Bank from the city centre.
EFL Community Weekend
As we celebrate the EFL's Community Weekend, Lincoln City Foundation is shining a spotlight on five incredible community heroes! Join us at half-time as we honour their outstanding contributions right on the pitch. The players will highlight the impact of EFL In the Community by wearing special t-shirts during the warm-up.
University of Lincoln Fan Village
The University of Lincoln Fan Village is open from 12noon and perfect for those who want to avoid the queues and get down to the LNER Stadium early. There are some fantastic locally-sourced food options.
| Curry Jacks | Flavoursome curries in jacket potatoes or rice. Vegan or GF options |
| Industrial Street Food | Street kitchen using the best quality ingredients |
| Sausage Grill | Classic offerings: burgers, fries and traditional German sausage |
| Coddy's | Variety of sweets, hot beverages and cold, fizzy drinks |
| Fat Eddie's | Delicious smash burgers |
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 provides supporters the opportunity to kit themselves out with our home, away, third and special edition charity kit as well as a range of other exciting items.
LIVES, who are one of our charity partners for 2025, will be conducting a bucket collection in the Fan Village on matchday so please donate generously. See more details on LIVES here.
There is plenty going on in the Red Imps Community Trust pod. As well as Trust representatives who are happy to chat about the role they play at the club, teamsheets can be purchased from the pod in addition to collectible programmes and memorabilia - with donations raising money for Lincoln City Foundation.
Jimmy Walker, formerly a member of City's coaching staff and summariser for Radio Lincolnshire, will be on hand to sign copies of his autobiography Size Isn't Everything. City supporter Chris Wray will also be there selling his unique cards and other items.
Family activities
There is an inflatable football challenge in the University of Lincoln Fan Village. There will be games such as table tennis and EAFC in the Co-Op Community Hub behind the Stacey West Stand. There are free children's football sessions on the 3G pitch opposite the Greenlinc Renewables Stand - there is no need to book on, simply turn up from 12noon.
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 1.15pm.
The below video will help you plan your journey to the game - click here to view our full guide for first-time fans.
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
Teamsheets cost just 50p and are available in the ticket office and the Red Imps Community Trust stand in the University of Lincoln Fan Village. We expect these to be available from around 2.15pm. Click here to order your teamsheet for collection from the ticket office.
Superdraw
Another great prize is on offer in the Imps Superdraw. Tickets cost just £1, with our seven tickets for £5 offer in place for the best value chance to win.
Look out for the Superdraw sellers around the LNER Stadium or order your tickets via our ticketing website.
Car parking
Take the pressure off matchday by booking your parking spot on the South Common now - click here to book.
The matchday offer for Lincoln Central Car Park is in operation. Please note a temporary change to the operation for this particular matchday, with a council spokesperson saying: "We’re aware of an issue with the QR code at our paystations and are actively working with our software provider to resolve it. Unfortunately, this won’t be fixed in time for Saturday’s event.
"Fans can still access the discounted rate! Simply press the help button at the paystation, and a member of staff will manually adjust the price. Our car park supervisors have confirmed that all enforcement officers are aware of the issue and will ensure the correct discount is applied - reducing the tariff for stays over four hours (up to 12 hours) from £9.50 to £4.75. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."
