One of the unique things about being Chairman of this great club is that I do not often get to experience games in the same way as our supporters. But what I do get to see and hear is the sheer scale of the passion you bring, home and away.
Last night at the Showgrounds was a perfect example. We were told that around 740 Glentoran fans made the journey to Coleraine, but I can assure you it looked and sounded more like 2740.
From the very first whistle you created an atmosphere that was truly incredible. Even when we went a goal down, the noise and encouragement was relentless.
That kind of backing matters. I have no doubt the players felt it and drew strength from it, particularly in the second half when Jordan Stewart’s goals turned the game in our favour. Performances like that do not just come from the pitch, they come from the stands too.
It is still early in the season, but please never underestimate the impact you have on this football club. Keep turning out in your numbers, keep making your voices heard and keep playing your part in driving us forward.
On behalf of everyone at Glentoran, thank you for your outstanding support.
