Just one thing how many trophies do the Whino's hold?
Exactly the same as the number of grounds owned by Wigan Warriors.

Couldn't fill a 13,000 stadium down the road for a challenge cup semi, couldn't fill a 25,000 capacity home stadium for the World club challenge (leeds highest 38,000, Leeds lowest 27,000, for the same game) and can't even fill the piedome for "the biggest derby in rugby league" versus saints. There was more at the wigan athletic v Q.P.R game on wembley saturday than at most wigan RL games. It's a football town.'"
With every post you make you never fail to impress me!
Listen to lionarmour87 he is right

The amount of trophies we hold also matches the same number of rubbish stands at Headlingley

Our stands may be rubbish but they're ours - owned by us - get it?

But we do have a 99 year lease or something ridiculous like that. So all we have to worry about is paying a monthly/annual fee.
We have no worrying about getting the ground right for license purposes and also losing money trying to improve the ground. We have nothing to worry about when it comes to the DW Stadium. A great position to be in.

Tied into 99 years of being second class citizens that can be temporarily evicted at will.
I know which position I'd rather be in thanks.

Dear me! You really think we are in a position where we can be evicted at will? If the football club go down they could be in trouble and will be relying on the Rugby Club. For both parties concerned its best if they can stay in their respective top division. Which I can see happening for a while.

Purely out of interest, do you own your own house?
I do, I'd rather own my own property than be at the whim of a landlord & I have an asset that I can pass on.

This is very true and it would be good to own the ground. The teams probably in the best position at the moment are Warrington and also St Helens after this season, as they will be owning their own grounds which are spot on when it comes to licensing requirements.
I dont know every detail regarding the lease, but we will be getting money in terms of advertising and gate receipts, whilst I do know that Dave Whelan is in charge of the food kiosks around the ground, so in that instance all money goes to him.

Live with my parents currently but when I do move out I will be looking to get a place of my own rather than renting. I can't be wasting money paying off somebody else's mortgage.
Once Headlingley is up to scratch you will be in the better position of course. I just think at this moment in time, we have very little to worry about when it comes to the stadium.

No... you're right, the soccer club and DW would never dream of saying that you couldn't ever play there and would have to find another ground to play in.
No siree, nope, never - never ever would that happen, not on your nellie.
Oh hang on...????
