In tomorrow's Glentoran Gazette Warren Feeney reflects on a mixed season partly defined by long-term injuries to some key players and prepares to welcome to the Oval the team he has dubbed the best in the league. In another 40-page programme which features graphic artist Beth Stafford’s cover of Jonny Russell, Terry Devlin updates Matthew Brown on his progress at Portsmouth. Philip Stevenson looks behind the Green Door in the grandstand and the 1923 Committee, publishers of the match programme, tackle the issue of sin bins. Brian McClelland concludes the mystery over Glentoran’s missing trophy while Henry Muldrew prepares to put his passport away as he brings us the last of his global wanderings, this time to a very polite Tokyo. Our writers also look at the plight of some of our former stars, examine the team’s loss of points from winning positions and look back on some of the big games of 2023. And, of course, Norman Ternahan and Tommy Sewell bring match action in words and pictures. The Gazette, at £4, is by the fans for the fans.
Note: This edition is the one originally printed for the game which was postponed on 30th December.
