Lincoln City FC has unveiled a new look for the VIP lounge, hospitality boxes, and club shop.
The new club shop at Sincil Bank has been merged with the ticket office, allowing fans to get a ticket and a shirt in one go.
Lincoln’s iconic red, white and grey colours have been the inspiration for the soft refurbishment of the club’s 17 hospitality boxes.
The new club shop.
Box owners now also have the option to upgrade after construction firm APSS installed new furniture, flooring and LED lighting.
The summer also saw a lot of work on the 1884 Lounge and Bar, with new leather seating and murals of iconic team photographs.
Lincoln City FC and APSS now have an ongoing relationship which will see the two businesses continue to work together.
The next scheme in the pipeline is set to be the fit-out and refurbishment of the first team’s dressing room.

Miles Thomas, operations director at APSS, said: “Lincoln City FC has worked so hard over the last few years, helping to raise awareness of everything the city has to offer. We wanted the new 1884 lounge and bar to reflect the greatness of what the club has achieved.
“The various fit-outs and refurbishment at the club over the summer really show the keen investment in the stadium and the club’s commitment to providing guests with the best possible experience when visiting and watching a game.
“Many of our team members here at APSS are fans of Lincoln City FC, so enjoy working with the club and feeling a part of the journey. We look forward to the start of the new season and seeing guests enjoy the latest fit-outs.”
Commercial manager at Lincoln City FC, Ritchie Bates, said: “We are delighted with the construction work that APSS has completed in recent months.
“Their professional interior design work has accelerated the development of interior sections of Sincil Bank Stadium and the Soper of Lincoln EPC.”

A local man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and dangerous driving after two pedestrians were injured in a collision with a car and three parked vehicles in Skegness.
Lincolnshire Police officers attended the scene after the collision between a blue Citroen Berlingo, the parked vehicles, and a man and a woman, who are both in their 60s, on Winthorpe Avenue shortly before 7pm on Friday, April 16.
The two pedestrians suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospital. However, their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
A 63-year-old local man, who was driving the Berlingo, was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and dangerous driving. He has since been released under investigation.
Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage and anyone with information should contact them on 101 or via email at [email protected] quoting incident number 389 of April 16.
Few people attended the second Kill the Bill protest in Lincoln on Saturday, as Extinction Rebellion activists stood alone on the High Street to campaign against a proposed policing bill that could make many protests illegal.
Activists from Extinction Rebellion Lincolnshire gathered at Speakers’ Corner to oppose plans for the latest Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, which could curtail protesting rights if passed through parliament.

Under the proposed bill, police officers will be given greater powers to put a stop to any protests, as well as determining start and finish times for them, and controlling noise levels.
A few stopped to talk with the protestors, but most just went about their day walking down Lincoln High Street in the first weekend that non-essential shops and beer gardens reopened.
The Lincolnite spoke to one of the rebels at the protest, to find out the reasons behind the march.
They said: “This draconian bill cannot go ahead, it needs to be taken apart and re-evaluted completely.
“People have been walking past us shaking their heads, but they don’t realise that it’s their freedom we are fighting for.”
