Glentoran Football Club welcomes the announcement from Minister Gordon Lyons on his plans to release funding under the Northern Ireland Football Fund programme. We are pleased the Minister has emphasised both need and social value. Our need has been established and we are confident our plans are in alignment with the Minister’s vision of a legacy project for East Belfast and for football in Northern Ireland.
As a club we have been working closely with Department of Communities officials and will continue to do so. We assure the Glentoran Family that our club's plans are at an advanced stage and we look forward to developing a facility that will not only benefit Glentoran and football, but also provide a major community asset that will have a very positive social impact on groups and individuals within East Belfast.
