More Than a Game: Stories from Lincoln City Football Club

More Than a Game explores Lincoln City Football Club and the wider cultural landscape through the lens of sports history.

This interactive session brings together storytelling, discussion, and community voices to explore how football shapes lives, identity, and belonging.

From the roar of the Stacey West Stand to walking down Sincil Bank with your grandad, from the first match that hooked you to the friendships, family traditions, and matchday rituals that make the club feel like home, your memories are part of the Imps’ story.

The event features:

• Stories collected from fans across generations
• Reflections from key figures connected to the club
• A live discussion exploring football, identity, and community in Lincoln

We’re delighted to be joined by:

• Rob Bradley – Chair of the Red Imps Community Trust
• Alan Long – PA announcer at Sincil Bank Stadium since 1997, supporter liaison officer, and a familiar voice to generations of fans
• Kate O'Reilly – Community Manager at Lincoln City Foundation

This event is part of the Reimagining Lincolnshire Community Engagement Programme, produced by Threshold, and made possible with the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The project is delivered in partnership with Lincoln City Foundation and Red Imps Community Trust, celebrating the Imps’ rich history and the deep connections between the club and its communities.

• A welcoming, informal atmosphere
• Opportunities to share your own memories and experiences
• Insight into the social and cultural impact of football in Lincoln
• A chance to connect with fellow fans and community members

• Lincoln City fans (past and present)
