The 2022–23 season was the 139th season in the existence of Lincoln City F.C. and the club's fourth consecutive season in League One. In addition to the league, they competed in the 2022–23 FA Cup, the 2022–23 EFL Cup and the 2022–23 EFL Trophy.

Following the departure of Michael Appleton at the end of the 2021-22 season, Mark Kennedy was appointed as head coach resulting in a number of backroom staff changes. At the season close, in May 2023, Lincoln finished 11th in the league with 62 points. They reached the quarter finals of the EFL Trophy and fourth round of the EFL Cup but lost their opening first round game of the FA Cup to Chippenham Town.

Toward the end of the season work began, following successful planning permission, to extend the Stacey West stand as part of increasing the capacity of the Stadium.

Management[edit]

Following the departure of Michael Appleton, who had been with the club as head coach for three years, Lincoln appointed former Birmingham City assistant coach Mark Kennedy in early May.[1]

On 10 June, David Kerslake (first-team assistant manager) and Richard O’Donnell (first-team coach) were relieved of their duties, with both going on to join Appleton at his new club, Blackpool.[2][3] On 27 June, Mike Garrity replaced Kerslake in the assistant head coach role, having left a similar role at Blackpool. At the same time Tom Shaw, who previously had a joint coaching role in the club's academy and as head coach for local non-league side Gainsborough Trinity, was promoted to the first team coaching staff.[4] [5]

Further coaching changes occurred towards the end of pre-season. Scott Fry was appointed the new goalkeeper coach in early July, replacing Steve Croudson who would join Grimsby Town, and Jordan McCann left his role as the clubs head of academy on 1 August.[6][7]

In December, Garrity left to join Championship side Queens Park Rangers rejoining new head coach Neil Critchley, with whom Garrity had worked at Blackpool.[8] He was replaced by Danny Butterfield on the 23 December. Butterfield had previously worked with Kennedy for a short spell at Macclesfield.[9]

Stadium[edit]

On 8 June, the club announced that LNER Stadium would have a new capacity of 10,780 following the purchase of the North-East Stand.[10]

On 27 June, GBM took over the naming rights of what was the Lincolnshire Co-Op stand in the LNER Stadium.[11]

On 28 June, Rilmac Group took over the naming rights of what was the South Park stand in the LNER Stadium.[12]

Kit[edit]

The club launched their 2022-23 home kit on 18 June. The shirt consisted of Lincoln's traditional red and white stripes with black trim and was paired with black shorts and red/white socks. It was manufactured by Erreà, their fifth and final year as kit manufacturer. During the prior season the club had featured five front of shirt sponsors through the year, however on 17 June it was announced that the club would return to a single sponsor, Branston Ltd (a local potato supplier).[13][14]

On 4 August, the club announced their new away strip for the season.[15]

On 8 September, the club announced their third strip for the season.[16]

Pre-Season[edit]

The club confirmed three friendlies on 16 May 2022, with two matches scheduled at home against Blackburn Rovers and an as yet unannounced team alongside an away trip to Hartlepool United.[17] On 30 May, the club announced an additional fixture against Gainsborough Trinity, a TBC Championship side behind-doors friendly, and another yet to be announced fixture as well as sending an XI to Sleaford Town, Lincoln United and Eastbourne Borough.[18] The behind-the-doors friendly was confirmed to be Sheffield United on 1 June 2022.[19] The remaining fixtures against Grimsby Town and West Ham United U23 were confirmed on 9 June 2022.[20] The game against West Ham United U23s was later cancelled.[21]

On 24 June, the players reported back to first team training.[22] On 28 July, the club announced squad numbers for the season and confirmed Tom Hopper as the new club captain.[23][24]
