Lincoln City FC update

An independent Regulatory Commission has sanctioned Lincoln City FC for two breaches of FA Rule E21 during its EFL League One game against Wrexham AFC on Saturday 3 May 2025.

It was alleged that Lincoln City FC failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters or followers) conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and don’t use words or behave in an improper and/or offensive and/or indecent and/or insulting way with either an express or implied reference to religion or belief and/or nationality during the 64th and 69th minutes. 

Lincoln City FC subsequently admitted the charge. The Regulatory Commission imposed an action plan and £8,500 fine on the club following a hearing, and its written reasons for these sanctions can be read below.
