Sir, - The "home" of English soccer remains vacant and untouched because the British Government claims it cannot afford to make even a contribution to the FA's cost of £600 million to rebuild it.
Meanwhile back at Bertie's Bowl, a contribution of up to £120 million has been promised to the FAI, up to £130 million to the GAA and £1 billion to the planners and contractors.
Since we can afford what Britain can't, perhaps we could lease the "Bowl" to the FA for home fixtures and cup finals. - Yours, etc.,
Paddy O'Halloran, The Green, Seapoint, Co Wicklow.
