UEFA OFFICIALS GIVE OVAL THE THUMBS UP
UEFA delegates visited the Oval yesterday (Monday) and enjoyed the hospitality of Glentoran. The important purpose of their visit was to approve the ground for use in this season’s European competitions. The green light was given and its all systems go!
The delegates commended the club for the improvements that have been made since their last inspection in July 2001. They noted that in the last two years improvements had been made to the dressing rooms, including new showering systems and an extended changing room for match officials.
On the playing side they were pleased to see the new dugouts, goal posts and seating area for visiting spectators. They made special mention of the excellent playing surface and the arrangements made for its future extension, in line with the forthcoming minimum standards that are to be introduced.
