If long term leases don't count, that will rule out most clubs

Drogs "sort of do", providing they pay a �60k mortgage back to the FAI and use the money to build a new stadium.

Newbridge Town own KCFCs ground. I don't know what way the lease works, but we pay them for the use. They also have a place on our board, so the relationship is obviously strong.

I would guess we are one of the few clubs that own their ground outright, we still own Dalymount until the new stadium is built and then we will own that 100% freehold. Land is a handy thing to own given our spending habits.:(

We have a 99-year lease with the Town Council, iirc.

Finn Park is held in Trust. This means we can't borrow against it, but can benefit from its value as we are doing with our stadium move. The new ground will also be owned by the Trustees.

I think the FAI gave the Cross to the MFA with the intention of a long term lease being given to a LOI club.

With handouts from the IFA to help you out. Sure we'd all own our grounds if that was the case.
