Thanks are extended to everyone who contributed to yesterday’s Matchday Lunch being such a success.

Staged at our new location in the Glenpark Bar, the occasion saw supporters and players join some familiar faces from yesteryear in the company of our special guest, Tommy Johnson.

The former Aston Villa, Derby County and Celtic striker regaled ticket holders with tales from his career before all in attendance made the short journey to Solitude to take in Cliftonville’s action-packed victory over Glenavon.

As well as expressing gratitude to Tommy for joining us, we also offer our appreciation to Michael Hegney for his typically rigorous organisation and stewardship of the event, with staff at the Glenpark likewise thanked for their professional assistance throughout our first Matchday Lunch of 2024.
