Due to road closures along Sincil Bank, temporary arrangements have been made for the Red Imps Association Travel Section coaches to Leyton Orient, Mansfield Town, Barnsley and Birmingham City. Instead of departing from and returning to the car park behind the Stacey West Stand at the LNER Stadium, the coaches will depart from and return to the South Common. The advertised departure times will be unchanged.
Passengers will be able to leave their cars on the South Common: the gates will be opened 45 minutes before the advertised departure times and then locked when the coaches leave, re-opening when the coaches return.
Please click here for details of the departure times and prices. Please click here for answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

Red Imps Community Trust’s mission is to support (i) the club, (ii) the fans and (iii) the community. To make it easier to achieve that mission, we adopted a new structure last year. Members are now elected with leadership responsibility for each of those three key tasks. Leaders are also elected with responsibility for relationships with external organisations, such as the Football Supporters’ Association, which has been identified as a fourth crucial role. Volunteers (including a Communications Team) assist the various leaders’ projects.
Thanks to the leaders’ enthusiastic embrace of their new roles, a huge amount of positive work is going on. We are a thriving, dynamic organisation, providing valuable services. It’s imperative that news of our activities should be shared as widely as possible. Readers of the Lincolnshire Echo can still learn about Trust activities through a regular column in that traditional newspaper. Nowadays, however, most of the Trust’s communications with our 6,500+ members are in digital form, via our social media channels, e-mailshots and website.
We are looking to expand the team of volunteers running our digital communications operations. Can we improve the content of the messages that we generate? Can we use better the evolving technology available to convey those messages? If you are interested in helping us out, please email Rob Bradley at rgbradley50@hotmail.com or pop over for a chat at the Trust Pod in the Fan Village before any home match. All required support and training will be provided by our existing Comms Team members.
