This shuttle bus service is in addition to normal service buses along Sheffield Road which will continue to operate as per published timetables.
The shuttle bus will stop at request bus stops (not Cavendish Street) on route. Now that the official traffic licence for this service has been received the cost is just £1 per journey,
Don't forget you need to buy a matchday ticket from the ticket office for entry to the b2net stadium as cash is no longer accepted at the turnstiles.
The ticket office (and club shop) is open until 7.00pm on Friday 3 September for Lincoln City match tickets.
CFC chief executive Carol Wilby said: "The shuttle bus service ensures that whilst parking can be widespread supporters will still be able to get conveniently to the match."
She added: "It could take a few weeks for supporters to find the best way of getting to the b2net stadium but it will all settle down very quickly, after all, we only had 16 official car parks spaces at Saltergate but everyone managed ok for years."
Parking at the b2net stadium
Car parking at the b2net stadium is by permit only and operation is controlled by a Traffic Management Plan approved by a Safety Advisory Group, comprising safety experts, the police and other emergency services and local authority representatives.
This plan seeks to minimise risk by separating vehicle movements and pedestrians.
For this reason, it has been stipulated that the car park will close half an hour before kick-off and will remain closed 30 minutes after the final whistle.
Please note that cars arriving later than 30 minutes before kick-off, and when pedestrians are evident, may be refused access to the site.
After matches, pedestrians, buses and coaches will be allowed to clear the site before cars may leave.
Public car parking
During the actual league season a number of car parks are expected to come on stream for use on matchdays by the public in the vicinity of the b2net stadium and these will be fully publicised when they become operational.
The following car parks should be available at varying charges:- Fitness First (50 places), Door Distributors, Units 1-2 Pottery Lane East, S41 9BH (40 places); R Hicks & Sons, Brimington Road North, S41 9BE (30 places).
If any other organisations wish to offer their premises for car parking please get in touch with the club so it can be publicised - ring 01246 209765.
There are other premises which are being utilised for car parking on a private permit basis only and supporters should look out for these.
The club asks that supporters travelling by car do so by parking in appropriate places and be respectful to the needs of the club's neighbours.
