Our first Glentoran Gazette of the new Premiership season is here, with UEFA Conference League goalscorer Zeno Ibsen Rossi chosen by designer Beth Stafford as this week’s cover star.

Inside, the 1923 Committee asks whether a switch to summer football would really be the magic solution to improving the fortunes of local clubs in European competition, while John Grayden analyses last season’s Sports Direct Premiership attendances and Henry Muldrew gives his take on the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Philip Stevenson’s Sketch In Time celebrates legendary Glentoran manager Roy Coyle, while Brian McClelland launches a brand-new series imagining conversations with some of the Club’s greatest figures, beginning with the legendary Peter Doherty.

There’s also an exclusive interview with Declan Devine as he looks ahead to the start of the new campaign following a busy summer of recruitment, plus everything you need to know about our latest signings and Saturday’s opponents, Limavady United.

You’ll also find superb photo coverage from Tommy Sewell and Pacemaker Press of both legs of our UEFA Conference League tie against RFS, alongside the latest news from Around The Oval and all the statistics from across the Club.

Your multi award-winning Glentoran Gazette – by the fans, for the fans – is available for just £4.
