The latest in graphic artist Beth Stafford’s fabulous Glentoran Gazette covers which fronts Tuesday night’s 40-page match programme casts Kodi Lyons-foster in Chris Nolan movie Inception. Declan Devine sets the scene for five tough post-split games starting with our only home game in the sequence against Coleraine while our writers highlight the Bannsiders’ dangermen. The boss also praises the club’s Colts side who brought the Harry Cavan Cup back to the Oval on Sunday after beating Linfield Rangers at the National Football Stadium. Roy Downes feature is part of a four-page tribute to the late Trevor Thompson while Brian McClelland discovers why former star Darren Parker abruptly left the Glens. Matthew Brown reflects on the absence of the hugely important James Singleton while the 1923 Committee, publishers of the match programme, queries the BBC’s decision over next Saturday’s game against Linfield. Henry Muldrew recounts tales of friendly fans he has come across on his travels while our writers bemoan the state of some of the pitches in Irish League football and analyse Glentoran’s points collection. And Norman Ternahan and Tommy Sewell give their take in words and pictures on our home game against Crusaders. The Gazette, by the fans for the fans, is £4.
