More Than a Game: Stories from Lincoln City Football Club
Exploring Lincoln City Football Club’s heritage through fan stories, identity and community, part of the Reimagining Lincolnshire project.
Event Description
More Than a Game explores Lincoln City Football Club and the wider cultural landscape through the lens of sports history.
This interactive session, held inside Branston Legends Lounge at the LNER Stadium, brings together storytelling, discussion, and community voices to explore how football shapes lives, identity, and belonging.
