Did we know .......

that Altonwood has a 99 year lease on Tooting & Mitcham's new stadium ?
It's our old training ground in Mitcham (Imperial Fields), where Tooting & Mitcham United have had built a new stadium (Capacity 3,500)

I thought that Tooting & Mitcham paid rent to Altonwood for this - ie Altonwood owned the freehold.

Got an Xmas card from a devout T&M supporter, who kindly sends me Tooting & Mitcham programmes from the past year and in their 1st programme / game at Imperial Fields it states that the ground is on a 99 year lease from Altonwood.
I'll check more with the fan.

That's what I thought. Your first post suggested it was the other way round. So, in answer to your initial question, "Did we know .......", the answer is, "Yes, I did."

Wonder how much Altonwood made out of building those nice properties on T&M's old ground !

I'd heard this many moons ago - doesn't surprise me!
