Leeds put ground up for sale.

[clapham_gull]

.. with a 25 yr lease back clause.

Didn't they promise their fans this wouldn't happen ?

 

[The Orange Seagull]

they haven't seen withdean yet!

Maybe they should look seriously into sharing with Bradford.

I see the Everton / Liverpool ground share is back on the cards, although how will they be able to call it Anfield ? I think this one could technically work, seeing as the existing grounds are only separated by Stanley park... but the fans don't want it.

Wouldn't it make sense for Fulham, QPR and Brentford to share a stadium ?.. wont happen though.

What is the point in this ?

What would you do with it - charge Leeds to play there ?

Er... yes.

That's what will happen at Falmer too, I believe.

So therefore they could buy the lease outright and build a Retail Park ?

No because there will be a clause that they (or whoever else buys it after) have to lease it to Leesd for 25 years. After the 25years though yes they could build what ever they wanted, planning permisson alowing.

Scary stuff - LUFC out of business after 25 years

 

[Wozza]

No, they extend the lease - or move to a new ground.

 

[Wardy]

Still a big gamble though. If they do not find there way back towards the top by then, they will be in the same postion that we were a few years back.

Poor old Leeds fans,it makes you wonder what their starting line up will be; if they've any players left.
