LETTER: Rugby heritage lies in people, not places

The public participation process for submissions on whether the old Newlands Stadium should be a provincial heritage site ended this week. It comes after an application was made last year by a group of former players attempting to have the ground declared a heritage site.

If it comes to a choice between keeping an old stadium and ensuring the survival of an even older union, which has hundreds of thousands of supporters and is a major cog in the national rugby machine, surely the latter takes precedence?

There's zero chance of preserving Newlands.
