Please could you arrange to park away from the stadium footprint for all 3G usage and/or Foundation sessions. Please also be mindful there will be increased traffic in the surrounding area and increased security on entry to the stadium. Play Zone, as previously explained, is completely out of bounds for parking, irrespective of the matchday and/or timings.
If the player is U18, the following booking form MUST be completed by a parent/ guardian, NOT the player. Please ensure you enter the parent/ guardian's contact number and email only.
Jordan Mason, Football Development Officer (Disability & Inclusion), said: "We're really pleased to see blind football offered in Lincolnshire for the first time. There are more opportunities than ever to engage in football in Lincolnshire, irrespective of your disability, impairment or accessibility requirement. Come get involved!"
