Fresh from winning a remarkable 25th consecutive NI Programme of the Year award, the multi award-winning Glentoran Gazette returns for the new season with a brand-new look ahead of tonight’s UEFA Conference League First Qualifying Round first leg against Latvian champions RFS.

Designer Beth Stafford unveils a striking new cover, with Aaron McEneff the first player to feature.

Inside, the 1923 Committee examines the demanding fixture schedule faced by modern-day footballers, while Declan Devine insists his side will give everything as they prepare for a tough European test at The BetMcLean Oval.

Looking at the wider European picture, Jimmy Carter argues that UEFA are making life increasingly difficult for smaller clubs, while John Grayden believes radical changes are needed if Northern Ireland clubs are to make a regular impact in continental competition. Henry Muldrew, meanwhile, reflects on why football supporters don’t share the same insecurities as fans of some other sports.

Philip Stevenson launches a brand-new series combining his passions for writing, drawing and Glentoran Football Club, while supporters can also enjoy a look back at one of the Club’s most dramatic recent European nights, an in-depth guide to tonight’s opponents RFS, the latest Around The Oval news and a complete statistical review of last season.

Your multi award-winning Glentoran Gazette is available around The BetMcLean Oval tonight, priced at just £4.
