Government Blackmail - The Maze At All Costs
A story has emerged today that confirms what football fans have been saying for a long time. The government is happily bribing and blackmailing the IFA into supporting the white elephant at the Maze.
It’s been reported that the IFA will be offered £2million to cover the costs of repairing Windsor Park so it is fit to stage internationals in the short-term future, and maybe even a payoff to help cover the costs of breaking the 80 year lease with Linfield for home internationals, but only on the condition that they commit finally and publicly to the Maze project, regardless of what their fans actually want.
The government are running scared. They know the Belfast proposals are viable and they’ve siezed on the storm damage to Windsor Park as ammunition for the gun they are now holding to football’s head. Democracy in action.
