Why Belfast? Why Not The Maze?

On the face of it, the Maze seems like a really good idea.  However, it doesn’t take much digging before you can discover that it’s a disaster waiting to happen and will quite probably end up as Northern Ireland’s Millennium Dome. If you don’t understand why we believe the Maze is going to be such a white elephant, or can’t see what difference building a stadium in Belfast would make, here’s where you can find out.  In an effort to clarify exactly why the Maze is a bad idea, compared to the alternative of building a modern, fit-for-purpose, new stadium in Belfast city-centre, some of the arguments can be summed up as follows (follow the links for more detail).

  1. The Fans Don’t Want The Maze
  2. The Capacity / Stadium Design
  3. The Location
  4. Transport & The Environment
  5. Economics
  6. Government Secrecy and Misinformation
  7. Political Sensitivities
