Hain on city centre stadiums
According to the Belfast Telegraph, Peter Hain seems to have taken somewhat of a u-turn on the plans for a national stadium at the former Maze Prison site. Hain told BBC Radio Five Live of the advantages of having a city centre stadium compared with one out of town.
This is in stark contrast to the Northern Ireland Office who have repeatedly dismissed any ideas for the new stadium to be built in Belfast rather than the former Maze Prison site near Lisburn.
The Stadium for Belfast petition has just found an unlikely allay.
