People believe them because they're true. The only groups opposed to the Maze stadium were NISC and the DUP. The only people opposed to the Euros at Casement NISC and DUP.
Crying about post tournament legacy for football, if Casement isn't built the football legacy for NI is zero. If Casement Park is built a lot of local kids get to see Mbappe, Haaland, Hojland up close and personal in Belfast, if that doesn't inspire kids to kick a ball I don't know what will.
Do you not think if it was only the DUP and NISC that was opposed to the Maze that it wouldn’t have been built? You obviously don’t know why it didn’t get built.
There needs to be a legacy in upgrading football facilities locally. You do know local footballclubs,like Casement, are still waiting on the sub regional money ring fenced for them 12years ago. The money in the last few years the Sinn Fein minister wouldn’t release because the Casement project was going to double in cost. This money needs to be released and more besides just, like Casement, to provide a real legacy for football facilities in this country. Casement needs built and will provide a great incentive in the GAA community but the football community needs that as well.
You like most on here are just looking at the big shiny new stadium but not looking at the back ground.
I’m no lover of the DUP but there is always more to it than just blaming them all the time. Look a bit deeper and you find lots of things.
