**The Man Himself** · 27/04/2007, 6:21 AM

we dont

(waterford united) and prob never will.

long term leases dont count as owning them!

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

**sonofstan** · 27/04/2007, 7:13 AM

We did - now I guess Liam Carroll does

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

**RonnieB** · 27/04/2007, 8:02 AM

To my knowledge we do.

**Gaillimh Al** · 27/04/2007, 8:24 AM

Galway FA own Terryland Park

**Magicme** · 27/04/2007, 8:27 AM

Monaghan United FC own all 14-15 acres of its land, lock stock & barrel!

**Sonic** · 27/04/2007, 8:38 AM

But we own a lovely field near the airport!

Wexford Youths - lord of all we survey.
On the pitch it's a different story!
We're working on that part.

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.
