Ahead of the visit of Exeter City 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.
Junior Takeover Day and Grassroots Day
Saturday’s fixture marks our eagerly anticipated Junior Takeover Day. During Saturday’s hosting of Exeter City at LNER Stadium, City will be giving some very lucky young Imps an incredible opportunity to be right at the heart of the matchday operation.
The meeting with the Grecians is also our latest designated grassroots fixture. A large number of clubs have signed up for the event, which will see teams from across the county enjoy a matchday experience they'll never forget at the LNER Stadium.
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. |
| Yorkshire Pudding Wraps | Popular fillings wrapped in light fluffy Yorkshire pudding. |
| Industrial Street Food | Street kitchen using the best quality ingredients in the NE corner. |
| Sausage Grill | Classic offerings; burgers, fries, and traditional German sausage. |
| Fat Eddie's | Delicious tacos. |
| Sweet and hot drink stall | Variety of sweets, hot beverages and cold fizzy drinks. |
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.
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.
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.

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
Supporters who enter the Superdraw for Saturday's clash with Exeter City will have the chance to win two prizes, with an expected bumper cash prize of more than £1,000 to be claimed by one lucky fan and the matchworn shirt of the Man of the Match to be won.
Tickets cost just £1, with our seven tickets for £5 offer in place for the best value chance to win.

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."
