Aug 27 - GSD Welcomes GFA Stadium Statement
The GSD says it welcomes the statement made by the GFA that it has listened to the objections from a very significant section of the community against the building of the National Football Stadium at Europa Point. The Opposition says it hopes that the statement signifies that it has identified an alternative site for the stadium. The party says that building a stadium at Europa Point “was not in the interests of the community or football as a whole” and that its own opposition to the project “has been consistent and clear from the very outset.”
