Fans will be back in the LNER Stadium for Lincoln City’s League One play-off semi-final next week after plans for reduced capacity were approved by Public Health Lincolnshire.
Lincoln City haven’t had fans inside their ground at Sincil Bank since a 3-2 victory over Burton Albion on March 7, 2020, the last game before the EFL was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This resulted in the season being ended early, and the longevity of the pandemic meant that the whole 2020/21 regular season was played behind closed doors.
Fridays sets opening date for first Lincoln restaurant
Not long to wait!
Fridays will open its new restaurant on Lincoln High Street in just over a week.
Kelly Green, Manager of Fridays Lincoln, told
The Lincolnite that the restaurant will open to the public for the first time for indoor and outdoor dining on Wednesday, May 19.
Tables were seen outside over the weekend and, according to Fridays’ website outdoor dining was being offered for walk-in business only between May 7 to 9, but it has since been clarified that this was just for training.
The popular American style chain was due to open a restaurant in the unit formerly occupied by Carluccio’s on January 14 this year, but this was pushed back as the coronavirus lockdown impacted on businesses.

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.
Hundreds gathered at the first Kill the Bill protest in Lincoln on April 3, but the same couldn’t be said for the second demonstration.
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.
