It’s not gauranteed 999 years on site, its just a lease for 999 years. Means nothing if SUFC go bust – which is a hell of a lot closer now the missus is tightening his purse strings and the club has no assets after giving it all to pay off the spending the owner did. The lease is between two businesses who are owned by the same people – you could write what you like to yourself and you can close it down quite easily I would’ve thought. This just makes it harder for potential buyers to come in – they would pay punitive rents or find funding to move location.
But like the chairman said nobody has been knocking on his door enquiring about the club…. he also said he is always in discussions with people but it has to be right for the club so we’ll have to pick one of those as the truth
