02 Dec 2021

After five consecutive away matches, we can’t wait to welcome our supporters back to Solitude for Saturday’s clash with Ballymena United.

From a League Cup quarter-final battle in Portadown to Danske Bank Premiership trips to Warrenpoint Town, Linfield, Coleraine and Larne, the Red Army have turned out in their numbers to get behind the team.

Fans are invited to bring foods – with particular recommendations for easy-to-carry items such as Smash dried potatoes, Fray Bentos pies, corned meat and tinned ham – which will be gathered at a specially designated area near the turnstiles.

These goods will then be donated to The People’s Foodbank – formerly known as our long-term partners at the North Belfast Advice Partnership – for further distribution to those in need in our local area, with the organisation appreciative of the opportunity to make up Christmas Hampers and prepare for 2022 with the support of Cliftonville FC.
