Warren Feeney hopes to have a few of the club’s recent casualties available to face a Ballyclare Comrades side that he says the Glens will pay every respect to. However, the manager also reveals that club captain Marcus Kane is a new doubt. Graphic artist Beth Stafford has Aaron McCarey as the subject of the cover of another 40-page edition of the Gazette, a Cup special which puts the focus on the Championship team’s season so far – on and off the pitch - and pinpoints the men the Glens defence will have to keep an eye on. History boys Brian McClelland and Roy Downes look back at Glentoran triumphs and tears from bygone days. Meanwhile, programme publishers, the 1923 Committee, lament match officials easing back on the measures to combat time wasting, Philip Stevenson reports on Terry Conroy’s memorable visit to the Oval for the game against Newry City and Henry Muldrew has a rattle at so-called celebrities supporting glamour sides. The Gazette team also looks at UEFA’s latest health report on the NIFL Premiership and examines current attendance figures. We also report on the role of Glentoran’s women stars in Northern Ireland’s latest triumph and mark the progress of our underage teams while Norman Ternahan and Tommy Sewell review the first team’s latest games in words and pictures. The Gazette, by the fans for the fans, is £4.
