Tomorrow night we finally welcome the wider Glentoran support back to the Bet McLean Oval for a competitive fixture for the first time in eighteen months.
Ballymena have undergone a major overhaul of their squad this summer, with 9 new signings made and 11 departures.
Most notable of the departures was, of course, our signing of talismanic front man Shay McCartan, with goalkeeper Ross Glendinning also swapping Warden Street for the Oval.
A striking cover by Beth Stafford is the face of a new-look, 40-page Glentoran Gazette for the 2021/22 season. Inside, the programme’s publishers, the Glentoran Supporters' Committee (1923), call for the introduction of hockey-style sin-bins, Gael Bigirimana tells us why he loves Belfast, Matthew Brown catches up with Glentoran Women’s legend Kelly Bailie, Philip Stevenson hears from 1960s superstar, Terry Conroy, while Eddy Patrick finds out how Jeff King became the club’s kitman.
Timings for the following three Danske Bank Premiership matches have been changed as below. This has been done at the request of NIFL.
Saturday 9 October 5:30pm - Larne v Glentoran
Saturday 16 October 5:30pm - Glentoran v Coleraine
