Windsor row stalls plans for new stadium at Maze

PLANS to build a multi-sports stadium at the former Maze prison site cannot go ahead until questions over Windsor Park’s future are resolved, it was claimed yesterday.

Assembly sports committee member David McNarry was speaking after it emerged the Irish Football Association had written to Linfield about the use of the ground for international games.

The Belfast club has another 80 years of its contract to host Northern Ireland games left to run and there have been threats of a compensation battle if that contract is breached.
