Not certain it's still there - probably is.

Anyhow, although it is outside the ground, it is still GFC property. And since it faces the main dual carriageway into Belfast from the East, I'd say the Glens could command a decent fee from it.

That and all the ads for McLeans Bookmakers inside - their main sponsor!

The 'Jesus' one, yes.

I mean, it would only take a couple of half-full buses to be passing for more people to see it than if it were inside the ground!

EDIT: Actually, thinking about it, it's doubled-sided, so you can see it from both stadium and road:



He hath given us a sign."

Meanwhile...

SO HERE'S ME...THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE LONG LOST TRIBE OF ISRAEL.

The last lost tribe of Israel
Had been on the road for years
Surviving two Millenniums
Filled with servitude and tears 

They’d tried to settle everywhere
But nowhere seemed to fit
Til a scribe called Sam McMaster
Declared that this was “sh*t” 

We’re always getting into fights
We’re always getting beat
Since Jacob “done the dirty”
My arse hasn’t touched a seat. 

We’ve never bothered anyone
Claimed wee Joshua Sinclair
It seems that no one likes us
But the truth is we don’t care 

So they sailed the seas and oceans
‘Til the land appeared at last
They turned left off the Copelands
And landed in Bel-fast. 

The East to be exact of course
There was no point going on
They camped out on the Connsy’s banks
Which was filled with deer and swans.

(Honest to God) 

“It’s the land of milk and honey”
Cried wee Joshua back to Sam
“There’s an Avenue full of Cypress Trees”
According to Saint Van

And an airport on the by-pass
Stormont on the Hill
Filled full of brainless dinosaurs
In the land where time stood still 

They’d got the greatest footballer
The world had ever seen
Cause Pele’s lost his boner
So he won’t make Bestie’s team 

Then the last lost tribe of Israel
Furnished their abode
With tables out of Wyse Buys
And IKEA, up the road 

They set about to building ships
And inventing special cranes
It took weeks of reading scriptures
To come up with both their names 

And when the Lord himself was born
They’d an invite to the feast
Sam and Hugh and Davy went
Three Wise Men, from the East. 

“We’ll need to bring him presents
It’s only right and fair
Take a wee run round to Wyse Buys Sam
And buy the child a mirror” 

And we’ll have to take some jewellery
Before it all gets sold
Nip round to Cash Converters too
And buy back all our gold 

Frank’s incensed laughed Tommy
He says by rights, at least
We should send the wain a present
Uniquely from the East 

So they filled a jar with Conn’s Water
Then climbed back through the fence
“Has it got a name?” asked Mervyn
Sure we’ll call it “Frank’s Incensed”. 

When they came back from the Holy Land
Just off the Ormeau Road
They gathered all the elders round
To pass on what they’d been told 

We need to build a temple
We need to use our skill
It needs to be an Oval shape
With “Jesus” on the hill 

If we build it, they will come you see
We’ll form a football team
And just to wind the Arabs up
We’ll wear red, black and green 

Well find our own messiah
Jim Cleary, quick, form a board
They’ll marvel at his miracles
Same initials as the Lord. 

There’s a long lost tribe of Israel
Who gather ever week
And no gives us any chance
Our sorrows not to seek 

So that’s why we are special
Our story seldom told
And that’s why Star of David Flags
Fly on the Newtownards Road

Sorry I thought you were a Glens regular.
Always thought it looked a bit odd in a football ground.
Cheers

That sign wasn't there Dec 2015 when we were there
