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.

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 9.30am-11.30am, 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.

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 ProAmpac 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 ProAmpac 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 ProAmpac 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 ProAmpac 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.
Supporters are reminded that the ProAmpac Stadium will become cashless across all hospitality and concession areas from the start of the 2026/27 season, following a season-long review.
Last season, 91% of transactions across the stadium were made by card or contactless, with just 9% made in cash.
The significant majority of cash transactions were made in the club shop, often for larger ticketing or retail purchases.
Following a full review of payment methods across the stadium, and with the aim of providing a quicker and more efficient service for supporters during busy periods before kick-off and at half-time, all hospitality and concession units will move to card and contactless payments only.
The club shop and ticket office will continue to have a cash till for supporters who wish to make retail or ticket purchases in cash.
Supporters can pay with all major debit and credit cards, as well as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
