Get ready for a thrilling encounter as Lincoln City welcome Harrogate Town to the LNER Stadium on Tuesday evening. To help you plan your visit and make the most of your matchday experience, we've compiled a comprehensive guide covering everything you need to know.
Entering the LNER Stadium
Home supporters with seats in the GBM Stand are directed to turnstiles 15-18 and 21-23 located in the south-west corner of the stand. To streamline entry, additional turnstiles will be open compared to the recent friendly against Arsenal U21, addressing the queueing issues experienced during that fixture.
Around the Ground
Please be aware that matchday feeds in hospitality areas and the Centre Spot bar may experience delays due to ongoing infrastructure improvements related to the new broadcasting arrangements. To avoid missing any of the action, it's recommended to return to your seat promptly before the second half kicks off.
Lincoln City has taken catering operations in-house for this season, with a selection of familiar favourites available on Tuesday, including Pukka, Mom's Hot Dogs, and Coca-Cola brands. New catering options will be introduced throughout the season. The club has also invested in new tills with integrated card machines to expedite service; however, please show patience with staff as they adapt to the new system. Most catering points accept card payments only, with cash tills available at the south-west kiosk in the GBM Stand and the Centre Spot Bar.
Additional catering points are now located at the north end of the Greenlinc Renewables Stand.
University of Lincoln Fan Village
For those seeking pre-match entertainment and a vibrant matchday atmosphere, the University of Lincoln Fan Village offers a diverse range of food and drink options, including William Wood, Tipsy Imp, R&N Catering, Coddy's, and Industrial Street Food. Tipsy Imp will be serving premium beers and ciders, while a variety of soft drinks are also available throughout the Fan Village.
The Imps retail unit provides fans with the opportunity to purchase the latest home, away, and third kits, alongside a selection of other exciting merchandise. The Red Imps Community Trust pod features an exhibition dedicated to Imps legend Keith Alexander. Trust representatives will be on hand to discuss their vital role within the club, and supporters can purchase teamsheets, collectible programmes, and memorabilia from the pod, with all donations contributing to the Lincoln City Foundation. An inflatable football challenge will also be available in the Fan Village.
Please note that Poacher's Den will not be open for this fixture.
Supporter Liaison Officers
The Supporter Liaison Officer (SLO) team will be stationed around the stadium before and during the match, clearly identifiable for any assistance. The 'Here To Help' team will also be present. A free matchday familiarisation opportunity is available for new stadium visitors, no sign-up required. Simply head to the ticket office at 6:15pm.
Audio Descriptive Commentary
For fans with visual impairments, a free audio descriptive commentary service is available. Headsets and receivers can be collected from the ticket office before the match, from the SLO point between 5pm and 6:15pm and subsequently from the ticket office desks.
Supporters are encouraged to bring their own headphones wherever possible to minimise shared equipment, as the receivers have a standard aux output. Any questions about the service should be directed to Heidi Langham, Disability Liaison Officer, at dlo@theredimps.com.
Teamsheet
Teamsheets are priced at 50p and can be purchased from the ticket office and the Red Imps Community Trust stand in the University of Lincoln Fan Village, expected to be available from around 7pm.
