    Rubbish. DCC own the place and you sold the leasehold on. The only difference between your arrangement and Rovers, Waterford and Fingal is the length of the lease.
    No harm to yee BYCTWD, but you don't understand leases and property law.

    Longfordian's response is spot on. If anything he's being generous on the time left on a lease for it to be considered 'good title' - 70yrs is usually good title for residential property, with commercial time-scales being shorter (a lot of commercial stuff is only built with a c. 30yr life-span in mind anyway, for example).

    How much good title is left in Shels' lease would therefore be influenced by what the land is zoned for, but bottom line is that so long as the majority of the lease remains to be fulfilled the club's lease on the land has way more value than the council's freehold on it.

    You've came on here and had a very good account of yourself, You appeared to have a brain and an idea of what you were talking about up until now that is. Undone by 3 words.

    DCC don't have any input into what goes on in Tolka day-to-day. If a team wants to rent Tolka for a cup game, they ask Shels and pay Shels for it. This isn't the case for Waterford, Rovers or Fingal.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Spot on - while Rovers were still homeless and renting Tolka Park, they paid the rent money to Shels.

    For the recent IRFU Ireland 'A' international match that was played in Tallaght Stadium, the IRFU paid the rent fee to South Dublin County Council.

    Building a support base from scratch takes time but progress is being made . Premier side now which will help . We are certainly upsetting the fans of other clubs for some reason .

    They don't really though, it's just a mechanism that's very common with large tracts of land in Dublin. The ultimate freehold owner is the Council but they don't have any of the benefits of it. I believe they leased it out to the Donnelly family who then sublet it to Shels on a long lease. DCC just receive what's known as a ground rent to the best of my knowledge which is basically just a very nominal amount and their interest can be bought out under a set formula. There's no landlord/tenant relationship.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
