Ahead of the visit of Rotherham United on New Year's Day, we are able to provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium.
Remembering Imps and John Reames Trophy
This is our annual Remembering Imps fixture where we will pay tribute to members of the Imps family we have lost in 2024 with a minute's applause before the match. Please get to your seat a few minutes earlier than usual to ensure you can take part.
The game will also be played for the John Reames Trophy, with the winning side presented with the trophy - named after our former chairman - in the Greenlinc Renewables 200 Club after the game.
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, Curry Jacks, Fat Eddies 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.
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 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 - there is no need to book on, simply turn up from 12noon.
There will be games such as table tennis and EAFC in the Co-Op Community Hub behind the Stacey West Stand.
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.
