I appreciate this is a bit early, but does anyone know a good/safe place to park near the ground? I am undecided on driving or going on the coach. Thanks

As far as I can gather , there is fairly easy street parking near to the ground. Try this website:- www.footballgroundguide.comwhich states that " If you follow the signs for 'away coaches' then this leads you onto the A158 South Park Avenue, where there is plenty of street parking to be found (although it is a ten-minute walk around to the ground). Otherwise, the signs lead you to the ground" If you look at Sincil Bank on Google Maps, a lot of the streets pretty close to the ground seems OK for parking. I've not been to Lincoln since a 3-1 FA Cup win (Brown, Thompson, Coyle) way way back so my memory of parking that day has faded. |

Imps fan in peace.
Looking forward to the game- our paths don't cross that often.
Just a head's up- parking around the ground now is a premium. These days the ground is 90% full (depends how many you bring mind) which means there is very limited parking anywhere around the ground (several streets have moved to resident only as well) and to even have a chance of street parking, you'll need to arrive before 6.30pm usually.
For security, it is best to park in one of the two city centre car parks and walk down anyway.
Central Car Park (opposite train and bus station) is LN5 7BP. It's a straight walk down Sincil Bank for about 15 minutes and you're at the ground (either turn left into Scorer street just before the ground to get to the away end or walk around the back of the Stacey West stand itself)
Tentercroft St car park LN5 7DB- you actually walk through this car park to get to Sincil Bank from the central car park so it is about 3-4 minutes nearer the ground but open air car park.
Both car parks are public and will be used by home and away fans but these days almost all games are pretty trouble free (maybe except a couple of local- for Lincoln anyway- derbies) so enjoy your time in Lincoln and good luck for the season.
Of course you can take you chance on street parking but if you to simply arrive and park and walk then the 2 central public car parks are your best bet.

Thanks Impsfan, let’s hope it’s a good game. I lived in Cherry for a number of years before moving back over here a couple ago and as well as the two Central Car Parks you name, there is also the option of parking on the Tritton and Valentine Retail Parks which are easier than the town centre. I’m pretty sure Valentine near Range and Next was free for about 5 hours and is about the same distance away. There is also a good pub there, The Nosey Parker, where you can get a pre match drink or something to eat. Right across the road is Dixon Street and if you walk straight down there it gets you right to the ground. It’s about a 15 to 20 minute walk so not further than the City Centre car parks but it’s safe there and if Imps can confirm, still free. Can’t now get there myself sadly, car problem and in for new wheel bearing. Typical! Hope it’s a good game for all and there’s no trouble.

Those car parks are now monitored by Parking Eye and are getting hotter on where the owners of cars go. For those who want a drink, the only official away pub is the Square Sail on the Brayford Pool and there is a car park 50 metres away (Lucy Tower Street) - it's a 20 minute walk to the ground. Most pubs are accommodating for a couple of fans but the Anchor/Shakespeare/Treaty of Commerce/Golden Eagle/Golden Cross (all on the lower high street) are very very much Lincoln pubs on match days and probably ones worth just avoiding. There is a 'spoons on the high street but isn't keen on colours after previous disorder (without colours, no-one will have a clue you're from Bolton until you ask for a pint but they may be hot on then getting you out). Looks like it will be siling down tomorrow night with a shed load of wind as well- I've read somewhere of a 4 figure away end which will be cracking for a Tuesday night (no home tickets on sale for the away end tomorrow so you've got it all to yourselves). |

Cheers Imps, probably better in the City Centre car parks then. Hope it’s a good game despite the forecast weather but as it’s usually a leveller we might just snatch something from you, heaven knows we need it! 😉

Thanks for the advice Impsfan, we aimed to park on the Tentercroft St car park but missed the turning and ended up turning into Pennel St to turn round (near Domino Pizza). An Imps fan had just parked up in front of us and told us it was ok to park, and whilst residents parking was going to happen, it hadn't yet. We walked down to the ground with him, and listening to his stories of your non league / league 2 recent history under new owners did give me some crumb of comfort! (until the 7th minute!! lol) Thanks again....
