There are plenty of decent pubs in the town, go on the brayford waterfront and the weatherspoons is away pub. I believe the golden cross lower end of high st about 10 minute walk from station and less than 5 to ground, is away pub also. Mailbox on upper high st is decent and worth a visit

Gutted to be missing this one owing to reasons beyond my control. Would have loved to not just tick off another ground but visit a city I have only ever bypassed for the best part of forty years. I'll catch this fixture next season tho. No disrespect to LCFC but I sadly predict it will be in this very same division.

Sorry but the mailbox and the Cheltenham which is opposite both have sky, it isn’t a confusing town to walk around either so easy to find both pubs

The Golden Cross is predominatley a home pub as one would expect due to its proximity to Sincil Bank, but I believe away fans are welcome. A bit further down the High Street on the opposite side of the road is the CAMRA listed Golden Eagle. I would say both are closer to a 15 mins walk from Central Stn. Or one could soak up the atmosphere in the fan zone behind the BM stand and enjoy a 12" Lincolnshire sausage!

Is there plenty of street parking near to the ground?

Before the high st starts is a park, South Park, Park there for small fee or go back on yourself up cross o’cliffe hill and you can park just up there 10 minute walk, some side streets up the high st lower are okay but hit n miss for space

Not really, unless you get there really early. Park on the South Common for £3 is the best bet.

Lincoln City Forum - Coventry tickets

Most on there are sensible enough. They only have a problem with our fans getting a ticket and a Lincoln fan missing out which is fair enough. Most realise we wouldn't go there and cause trouble. However I don't think they have realised that plenty will be in the home end as I know several outside of Coventry who have tickets there. Maybe that's why they've sold out!

12 inch sausage - now you're talking my language!!!!

Never been in the Golden Cross though I heard it had a "bit of a rep" - any good i.e. for a non-matchday?

Have you been up there recently? Double yellows nearly all the way up the hill to BBH.

South Park Common for three quid is the best option. If you are early enough, say before midday South Park road which runs parrel to South Park Ave has no parking restictions and is about a 5mins walk to SB.

Hate to be the bearer of possible bad news but in Lincoln this morning we had a very heavy frost - LCFC do not have undersoil heating, so hopefully there won't be a repeat tomorrow which puts the game at risk. BBC weather says it'll be down to 4 degrees overnight here which hopefully won't mean an unplayable pitch.

No under soil heating, but insulated covers. It'll be fine.

Bit early In the year to worry about frozen pitches only surface frosts at the minute. Would need a sustained spell of cold weather to get into the ground yet.
