No the land didn’t already belong to the club, oh what a missed opportunity all that land the owners at that time could have bought and leased it out for all the retail outlets that are there now,even the land the other side of the road where Tesco’s is was up for grabs that would have kept the club going with all that rental potential.
I agree with you on that but I think the training ground land you’re talking about is the plot between the offices & the M181? In which case, wasn’t that already part of the clubs’ estate and used for training when the pitch was suitable?
