First Time Fans - Guide to Ashby Avenue

Lincoln United Football Club was founded in 1938 as Lincoln Amateurs, playing in the Lincoln League. In 1951, the Club signed its first professional player (on 5 shillings a week, 25p in today’s money) and Lincoln Amateurs was re-named Lincoln United aka ‘The Whites’.

Located on Ashby Avenue, Lincoln United FC is easily accessed just off the A46 and 2.5 miles from Lincoln City centre.

Our purpose built Ashby Avenue home has a capacity of 2200, including two covered seating areas (TR Weston & Son Ltd and Fans for Diversity Stands) and two further covered areas for standing. (The John Wilkinson Stand and Allen Crombie End).

The Allen Crombie End is where you will find the canteen, Fred Green Hospitality Suite and Lincoln United Board Room.
