No, in fact you're wrong. We're not even attempting to purchase the freehold. I'm well aware we don't own the stadium, if we had owned it then it would have been an asset that ADUG would have had to purchase when they bought us out. As it's owned by the council they didn't have to buy it, all they have to due is abide by the agreement already in place regarding gate receipts etc. Hence they get a football team who can play in a 48,000 seat state of the art stadium, and they didn't have to pay a penny for it.
Very clever really we got a stadium for free!!!! Everton are moving to Kirby!!!!
