Merry Christmas
Cliftonville Football Club wishes all of our supporters, players, coaches, staff and sponsors a very Merry Christmas.
It’s at this time of year in particular that we also take time to remember those members of the Red Army, as well as former Managers and players, who are no longer with us and place on record our most sincere thanks to all of the individuals, groups and parties who have lent us their valuable assistance on various projects, schemes and behind-the-scenes work throughout 2024, including those who volunteered their services at The Reds Shop during a busy December.
At the end of a year that saw our Men’s team clinch the Irish Cup alongside our Ladies reclaiming the Women’s Premiership title with an invincible 100% winning streak as well as liftinf the League Cup and Women’s Irish Cup as part of a glorious treble, we pay special tribute to the numerous volunteers whose dedication was a major contributory factor in everything coming together on the pitch. Not just those that you will regularly see on matchdays helping with turnstiles, ballots, programmes, stewarding, first aid, catering, kit, PA and chaplaincy, but also those most supporters may not be aware of.
These include the dozens of coaches and helpers who work with our Academy and underage teams. They give up so much of their time, often on a daily basis, to share with hundreds of boys and girls the joy and excitement of playing football. The parents, too, who put so much effort into fundraising, supplying transport to games and providing other support to the coaches.
Without such help and support from so many behind the scenes, the Club cannot grow and we heartily thank everyone involved for their dedication.
After tomorrow’s sold-out North Belfast Derby with Crusaders at Seaview, we look forward to seeing out the year with you all when we host Dungannon Swifts next Monday in our final fixture of 2024.
