In another 40-page match programme for Friday night the Gazette team looks at issues on and off the field. We condemn those behind digging up the Conor McMenamin video and ask is it time for the IFA to invest in the full-time game here while long-standing supporter Stephen Reid has a plan to end the scramble for tickets at away games. Mick McDermott is wary of Ballymena while Bill Wray is hoping the Sky Blues can turn around their dismal early season form. New boy James Singleton tells Matthew Brown he found adjusting to the full-time game tough but worth it, Philip Stevenson reports on a rare defeat for the Glens Legends while Bobby Burns answers the Gazette’s questions. Brian McClelland focusses on a few of the many Dubliners who have worn the red, green and black while Henry Muldrew’s English odyssey begins in the football hotbed of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. As always Norman Ternahan and Tommy Sewell review the latest action in words and pictures in an issue which has Ally Roy as Beth Stafford and Joe Burns’ cover star. The £4 Gazette, the Irish League’s leading matchday programme, is by the fans for the fans.
