Beggars Can’t Be Choosers via Stadium For Belfast
President of the Irish Football Association Raymond Kennedy has indicated his preference for a new build stadium to be built as part of Ormeau Park.
With question marks over both the Maze plans and the future use of Windsor Park for international football, Kennedy said that the Irish FA would go along with any of the Belfast plans. His comments have been seen by some as a rebuke to the IFA’s Cheif Executive, Howard Wells, who has consistently backed the Maze plans and is rumoured to be seeking employment elsewhere.
“Beggars can’t be choosers. I want a stadium to play football matches and I want them in Northern Ireland, not anywhere else.
Belfast City Council have come up with five sites and I would take any one of them.”
