Imps Team Up With Stagecoach
Lincoln City Football Club and Stagecoach East Midlands have teamed up to provide free match day bus travel for Imps' season ticket holders to help fans reach Sincil Bank much more easily.
Season Ticket holders for the 2007/08 season will get free travel on Stagecoach bus services within the city of Lincoln, and from Sudbrooke, Welton, Dunholme, Nettleham, Waddington, Bracebridge Heath, Branston, Washingborough, Heighington, Cherry Willingham, Reepham, Fiskerton, and Skellingthorpe on Saturday home match days, and after 1800hrs in the evening on the days of evening home matches.
The new arrangements start from the beginning of the 2007/2008 Football League season on August 11th 2008 and City's Chief Executive Officer, Dave Roberts, said he was delighted to announce the deal with Stagecoach.
"This is a ground breaking agreement, and one that will give benefits to our season ticket holders and encourage people to use public transport, which can only be good for the environment," he said.
"We would like to thank Stagecoach, who have been very professional during negotiations. It will mean that season ticket holders will show their book on a match day as they get on a Stagecoach bus within the designated area and then will be issued with a bus ticket for travel free of charge."
Stagecoach East Midlands Commercial Director, Dave Skepper, added: "This is an innovative scheme to encourage city people to use buses as an alternative to taking the car to matches, helping to reduce traffic congestion and pollution in Lincoln on Saturdays.
"We're very pleased to be working with Lincoln City Football Club to introduce this benefit to season ticket holders, and we wish the team every success in the forthcoming 2007/8 season."
Full details on how the partnership will work are currently being finalised and will be announced closer to the start of the season.
