WHAT’S AVAILABLE AT INVER
1889 Sports & Social Club will be open from 5pm ahead of the game tonight for supporters wishing to enjoy a few pre-match drinks. The new outdoor bar in the fanzone will be in operation for tonight’s game and will serve a range of drink options, including draught beer. Supporters who have a smartcard will be able to use this within both 1889 Sports and Social Club and the outdoor bar in the fanzone.
Before the match, supporters can enjoy a Q&A with a player in 1889 Sports and Social Club talking about the match and the season so far, led by Joel Neill. A fundraising raffle will be taking place in 1889 Sports and Social Club before, during and after the game in aid of staff member Aoife Hay who is raising funds for a ‘Friends of Romania’ trip. Some great prizes are up for grabs including an overnight stay at Galgorm worth £500. Tickets for the raffle cost £10.
After the game, a new artist will be making his 1889 debut with Steven Hastings taking to the stage to provide the entertainment once the action on the pitch has come to an end.

KIDS’ NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT
From 6.15pm in the main carpark and within the media room, there will be plenty of entertainment on offer for all ages.
Within the carpark, the inflatable penalty shoot-out will be set up alongside Teqball stations for the younger ones to enjoy. Face painting will also be on offer to get the children in the ‘red and white’ spirit ahead of kick-off!

FOR THE TOWN CHRISTMAS APPEAL 2023
Tonight is the first collection night for our supporter-led For The Town Christmas Appeal 2023.
The theme of tonight’s collection will be ‘hygiene essentials’ and we are asking supporters to bring along the following items to donate where possible:
- Shampoo
- Bars of soap
- Shower gel
- Deodorants
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrushes
- Laundry detergent
- Washing up liquid
- Larger size nappies (5 through to 8)
Our Christmas Appeal volunteers will have a donation point set up just outside 1889 Sports and Social Club for supporters arriving at the stadium.
CAR PARKING
Supporters are to be aware that due to limited spaces, the car park within Inver Park will not be open to supporters attending the game.
Parking facilities are available to supporters at the nearby Riverdale and Laharna Retail Park. Both of these locations are just a short walk to the stadium.
We would also like to remind supporters to be mindful and aware of residents who live just outside the stadium and to not block access to private properties when parking your car within this area.
THE INVER REDS
Tiernan Lynch’s side will be looking to round off November with a perfect record by picking up all three points tonight.
The Inver Reds won the reverse fixture earlier in the season with a 2-1 victory at The Oval thanks to goals from Micheal Glynn and Andy Ryan.
Goals from midfield proved to be the deciding factor last weekend as Joe Thomson and Leroy Millar were on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win over Coleraine, with Joe taking his tally to then goals for the season so far.
TONIGHT’S OPPOSITION
Glentoran enjoyed an impressive performance last weekend to pick up their first victory of the month with a 5-0 win over Ballymena United.
Warren Fenney will be hoping his side can carry that type of performance into tonight’s game at Inver Park to head back to Belfast with all three points.
Junior found the back of the net twice in last week’s victory over Ballymena United and he will be looking to continue that goalscoring form in tonight’s game.
