Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust stall in Fan Village
The Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust will be in the Fan village. The Trust, a charitable organisation dedicated to caring for Lincolnshire’s wildlife and countryside from the Humber to the Wash, manages 100 nature reserves across the county, including the popular Whisby Nature Park just outside the city.
Supporters can visit their stall to discover more about the county’s diverse wildlife and learn simple ways to support nature, whatever your experience or available space. There will be a range of themed games and activities on offer, including the ever-popular ‘guess the animal poo’ interactive quiz, as well as practical tips on planting the violet seeds found on the swing tag of this season’s Lincoln City third kit.
Fans can also get creative by painting a football-themed oyster shell while learning more about the Trust’s Wilder Humber project. With a focus on inspiring positive action, the team will be on hand to show how everyone can play a part in protecting nature across Lincolnshire.
Foundation marking World Parkinson’s Day
The Foundation will mark World Parkinson's Day by welcoming participants from the Active Together Parkinson’s exercise class. This year’s theme, 'Bridging the Gap' emphasises the importance of support and connection, aligning with the Foundation's mission to foster inclusive community engagement.
Participants from the Active Together class will attend the match alongside a family member or loved one, with many experiencing their first football game. Active Together is a specialist exercise programme that helps those living with Parkinson’s improve mobility, strength, and confidence, while also providing a vital social network.
This matchday is a chance to celebrate the strength and resilience of the group, raise awareness of Parkinson's as the fastest-growing neurological condition, and showcase the power of community support.

Reporting form
We offer an anonymous online form for supporters to report any concerns around safety or inappropriate behaviour and chanting in or around the stadium. Use the QR code which is situated around the stadium or click here.
Stadium facilities
Our unisex accessible toilets can be found in each corner of the LNER Stadium, as well as each bar and hospitality suite. Supporters can find them on the stadium map and signposted with toilet icons in and around the LNER Stadium. These toilets also include baby changing facilities.
Bins and recycling
We would like to make supporters aware of new legislation which requires the football club to separate waste. In order to apply, clearly designated bins will be located throughout the stadium. Please help us keep the LNER Stadium clean and tidy by putting your rubbish in the correct bin. Like every business throughout the country, the Imps are now required by law to comply with new waste regulations, failure to do so will result in the club receiving a fine. Thank you to all supporters in advance for their understanding and cooperation with this matter.
Love football, protect the game
Every fan should feel safe and enjoy an inclusive experience when they attend matches at the LNER Stadium and dangerous or anti-social behaviour have no place in our game - with significant consequences possible for fans who commit pitch incursions.
City joined other EFL clubs in the Love Football, Protect the Game campaign to educate supporters on the impact of anti-social behaviour and pitch incursions which can result in banning orders for the individuals concerned and significant fines being imposed on the club by the football authorities.
Regulation changes and tough new measures have been introduced which will see people who are found to have committed offences face stadium bans and potential criminal prosecution.
The game will also continue its efforts to combat dangerous, illegal and unwelcome behaviour off the pitch, be it in the stands or online. Last season a host of new measures were introduced by authorities which saw enhanced sanctions applied for people identified entering the pitch, using pyros, taking drugs to games, throwing objects or for discriminatory abuse.
