You doubtless know more about
this than I do (out-of-touch on a lot of this stuff). But I do know that eg Harland & Wolff Welders have a very successful Social Club, which I assume has contributed towards their terrific new stadium.
(See posts #17 and #19 in the "Grounds in Belfast" thread:

And I think I am right in saying that many more IL clubs own their own grounds than LOI clubs. Meaning that many of these have a social club/bar on the premises, which brings in revenue (hardly unknown for supporters to spend the second half in the bar, rather than return to the terraces!).
I do know that even smaller clubs like Dungannon Swifts and Ballinamallard are very well set up in this respect.
