Match guide | Imps v Manchester City U21

Ahead of the visit of Manchester City U21 on Tuesday, we are able to provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium.

University of Lincoln Fan Village

The University of Lincoln Fan Village is open from 5pm  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 and 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.

There will also be an inflatable football game in the University of Lincoln Fan Village. 

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.

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 5.30-6pm, 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

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 6pm. 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, another large prize will be claimed on Tuesday night.

Look out for the Superdraw sellers around the LNER Stadium or order your tickets via our ticketing website.
