Maze a dead duck unless Paisley intervenes
I had a good bit of sympathy for Edwin Poots MLA, the Minister for Culture, Arts and Leisure, when I read today’s papers. He was left defending the proposed Maze stadium all on his own in the Assembly yesterday.
There seems to be no chance of the stadium progressing unless a decision is taken before the current First Minister leaves office in early June. Peter Robinson is known to be rather cool on the idea and could block it as a way of appeasing the TUV elements on his right.
Only time will tell. If the plans are shelved sport will be the big looser. There is no other proposal on the table which will bring the three major codes together in a shared space.
