Dear fellow supporter,

Glentoran Chairman Stephen Henderson, and GCT Board representatives John Moore and Richard McGuinness have kindly agreed to attend.
Following Alan Kernaghan's resignation in wake of the League Cup exit to Annagh United, Glentoran once again turned to former boss Roy Coyle to take the side on a temporary basis while the new manager recruitment is undergoing.
Glentoran return to league action on Saturday with an away trip to Ards in the Danske Bank Premiership.

This is an ALL TICKET fixture and ticket prices are as follows:
Grandstand Adult £10 and Grandstand Concession £7

Aaron Smyth has been suspended from all activities by the club pending the conclusion of an internal disciplinary process.
As a result, Aaron will not be available for selection for this weekend's match away to Ards.
Glentoran's recently formed Polish Academy travelled to Carryduff last weekend for a football fun day with Santos FC. Players and parents were treated to excellent hospitality with a range of fun small sided football games as well as refreshments afterwards. Over 30 kids played in the event ranging in age from 3-7 playing 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 small sided games.
Glentoran Football Club would like to thank Santos FC for their generous hospitality and the fun day had by all involved. We are looking forward to continuing this new friendship in the future.
The postponed Danske Bank Premiership game against Glenavon will now be played next Tuesday evening, 13th September, at the Oval with a 7.45pm kick off.
As part of ongoing discussions, representatives of Glentoran met with Paul Givan, Minister for Communities and his team, to present their plans for the new stadium under the (DCAL) Sub-Regional Stadia Programme for Soccer. The meeting was facilitated by local MLA's Robin Newton and Sammy Douglas and local East Belfast MP, Gavin Robinson. Both Gavin and Robin attended the meeting to give their support.
Glentoran Under 20s faced off against Crusaders on Saturday looking to maintain their winning streak in the NIFL Premiership Development League.
The Glens started the game at a high tempo having a number of half chances in the opening 15 minutes.
They went ahead shortly after and what a goal it was with nearly every player getting a touch of the ball before Tiarnan McAuley's cross into the box found Padraig Hughes who swivelled and shot to put his side in front.
