Lincoln City will face Burnley at their home ground on Saturday in a Championship match where nearly all home tickets have been purchased. A very limited number of tickets were still available ahead of the afternoon start. The club anticipates a full stadium for the game.

Before the match begins, a moment of applause is scheduled to honor two former players. This act of remembrance is connected to a club campaign running in October. The club stated, "A minute’s applause will take place prior to kick-off in memory of former players George Peden and John Vaughan."

Various events for fans will start around lunchtime. The Fan Village opens at noon with additional offerings, and complimentary football sessions on an artificial pitch begin shortly after. A family-friendly area in one stand also opens at midday. Official team lists can be purchased for a small charge later in the afternoon.

Team news and stakes

Lincoln City are in 18th place in the league table having earned a specific number of points from their matches. Their recent results include a draw in their last game where two players scored. They will play against Burnley, who are lower in the standings and coming off a defeat.

Both teams have several players unavailable. Lincoln has three suspended players and others who are injured, including two named on an injuries list. Burnley also has a list of injured players featuring several first-team names.

A win for the home side would increase their point total, while a win for the away team would also raise theirs. Lincoln has managed to secure only a small number of points from their home matches this season, which is a trend they hope to change.

Matchday arrangements

Fans are advised that the stadium does not accept cash in most food, drink, and hospitality areas, as the vast majority of payments are made without cash. However, the club shop and ticket office, opening in the morning, will still accept cash for merchandise and tickets. Mobile tickets must be shown through an official app, as image files are not accepted.

The club also promoted a system for reporting problems anonymously on matchday. "We offer an anonymous online form for supporters to report any concerns around safety or inappropriate behaviour and chanting in or around the stadium," Lincoln City said.

Headsets for audio description commentary are available for pickup at the ticket office during a specified window before the game. A free orientation for new fans is offered without needing to register in advance. The match will start in the afternoon after the pre-game tribute.
