Ahead of the visit of Shrewsbury Town on Saturday afternoon (3pm KO), we can provide supporters with a guide to plan your visit to the LNER Stadium. 

Bucket collection for Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance 

We'll be welcoming our 2025 charity partners Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance to the LNER Stadium on Saturday, who will be conducting a bucket collection. 

All proceeds will be going towards the LNAA and we would like to thank everyone in advance for their generosity and kindness in helping us support a fantastic cause. 

The air ambulance will hopefully complete a flypast between 2.40 and 2.45pm.

You can find out more about Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance here. 

Get down to the University of Lincoln Fan Village early for savings, sunshine and live music!

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.

The matchday offer for Lincoln Central Car Park is in operation. Please note a temporary  change to the operation for this particular matchday, with a council spokesperson saying: "We’re aware of an issue with the QR code at our paystations and are actively working with our software provider to resolve it. Unfortunately, this won’t be fixed in time for Saturday’s event.

"Fans can still access the discounted rate! Simply press the help button at the paystation, and a member of staff will manually adjust the price. Our car park supervisors have confirmed that all enforcement officers are aware of the issue and will ensure the correct discount is applied - reducing the tariff for stays over four hours (up to 12 hours) from £9.50 to £4.75. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."
