Buena suerte, Lauren!

Cliftonville Football Club offers heartfelt thanks and best wishes to Lauren McCann as she steps down from her role as principal admin of @RedsByTheMinute.

For the last four-and-a-half years, Lauren has provided a valuable resource for Reds fans with her detailed matchday updates ensuring that supporters the world over were kept fully informed of all developments in Men’s and Ladies fixtures both home and away.

As she embarks upon studies in the western Spanish city of Cáceres, Lauren – whose efforts were particularly significant when Covid-19 restrictions forced Cliftonville to play behind closed doors for the majority of the 2020/21 season – departs with the gratitude of not just the Club but also the Red Army and, while she has not ruled out a return to our social media set-up in the future, we wish her every success for the academic year ahead.

Phone-in-hand mid-celebration has become a familiar experience for Lauren

Thanks to the superb response to our request for @RedsByTheMinute volunteers over the summer, we are pleased to advise supporters that the service will continue as a new team prepare to assume the reins in the coming weeks.
