Irish Football Association Advised To Demolish Damaged Windsor Park Stand

The Irish FA "has been advised to demolish the damaged West Stand at Windsor Park in a preliminary structural report now with the Northern Ireland football governing body," according to the BBC. Windsor Park "has been closed since cracks were discovered in the stand following last month's Euro 2016 qualifier against Finland." The IFA said that "it is studying the findings of the preliminary report." Irish FA CEO Patrick Nelson said that staging the June 13 int'l at Windsor Park "remained its 'only focus' and that an alternative venue for the Euro 2016 qualifier, such as the Kingspan Stadium, had not yet been considered." Nelson: "We're working very hard to make sure the game is played at Windsor." The IFA "held an emergency meeting on Tuesday night to update members on the latest situation regarding the stadium." It is believed that at least two independent reports "are being carried out on the damaged stand" (BBC, 4/16).
