In September 1995, Glentoran had an advertising board with "JESUS" in white letters on a black background erected at The Oval. This became known colloquially as the "Jesus sign". It remained at the ground until 2010 when Glentoran officials removed it, saying that they needed the space to sell advertising because of the club's serious financial troubles and because "The sign had garnered no income for Glentoran for several years. It could be said that, in this case, God has not provided."
