Tourism Chiefs, Rugby Fans Reject Maze Plans
An online poll of Ulster Rugby fans has shown that a whopping 82% of Rugby fans reject the Maze stadium. According to a poll on the “Ulternative Alster” fansite, 2% supported a move to the Maze, 16% supported playing only larger games at the Maze and 67% in favour of a new stadium in Belfast.
At the same time, a leading a senior individual in the tourism industry has said that the government plans for a stadium at the Maze amount to a “Grave Mistake” and that economically it would make more sense to find a site in Belfast where it could make use of existing infrastructure. His comments follow those of Alan Clarke, Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Tourist Board who last year said “Large numbers of the tourism industry support the view that the infrastructure in central Belfast is capable of supporting the likely footfall of a new stadium and will therefore realise the project’s full economic and tourism potential.”
Football fans don’t want it, rugby fans don’t want it and the tourist industry don’t want it. Stop the white elephant and build the stadium in Belfast. Sign our petition today!
