Ahead of the visit of Leyton Orient on Saturday, we are able to provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium
Large crowd expected
With City's supporters continuing to back the side in great numbers, we expect the largest home crowd of the season for this fixture. Please arrive as early as possible and allow yourself more time to get into the stadium - including entering the stadium turnstiles before you normally would. We expect the turnstiles at the north end of the GBM Stand to be the busiest.
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 - with R&N catering, William Wood burgers and donuts, Curry Jacks, Fat Sam's smash burgers, Coddy’s Sweets all on site.
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 and third kit as well as a range of other exciting items.
The Red Imps Community Trust pod features an exhibition about Imps legend Keith Alexander. 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 as well as collectible programmes and memorabilia - with donations raising money for Lincoln City Foundation.
Family activities
There are free children's football sessions on the 3G pitch opposite the Greenlinc Renewables Stand from 12.30pm every Saturday - there is no need to book on, simply turn up from 12.30pm.
There will also be a climbing frame n the University of Lincoln Fan Village. There will be games such as table tennis and EAFC in the Co-Op Community Hub - the new home of all the activities previously found in Poacher's Den - behind the Stacey West Stand.
Flu vaccinations
Lincolnshire Co-op’s pharmacy team will be offering free flu vaccinations to anyone who meets NHS criteria. These will take place in the Co-op Community Hub from 12.30pm and there is no need to book an appointment.
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.
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
The new Imps Superdraw has seen an average prize of well over £1,000! With half the total money taken in ticket money going to one winner, there will be another large jackpot claimed on Saturday.
Look out for the Superdraw sellers around the LNER Stadium or order your tickets via our ticketing website.
