Fayed own Fulham ground, think he sold it and brought it back once it couldn't build luxury thames side houses on it.

I thought this was going to be about grounds for divorce. Now that would have been interesting. Apart from that, this is a pretty naff subject.

So who owns Loftus Road, Brisbane Road, White Hart Lane, Upton Park and whatever Wimbledon's stadium is called? Plus Barnet's stadium.

Well Wimbledon definitely own Kingsmeadow as they bought it from the former Kingstonian owners.

 

[westwing]

Palace and Millwall own theirs ?

 

[Hullbee]

So two London clubs don't own there own stadium it would appear

poor old walsall bees dad. he's had a bad day.

Don't believe they do as it is companies of the clubs owners that do.

 

[Hullbee]

I am sure Lionel road and griffin park are not in Matthew benhams name but a company he owns... Are we now doomed???

Loftus Road owned by its funding companies,Upton Park is owned by Gold/sullivan, Hearn owns Brisbane Rd, Barnet I thought was Council owned.

I think Griffin Park is owned by Griffin Park Stadium Limited which is a subsidiary of Brentford FC which MB owns.

The sale of the club was to MB personally and not to smart odds or any other company.

I can't speak for LR.

 

[Hullbee]

So if I do a land registry search on griffin park it will say Matthew Benham is the owner

No it will say GPSL.

 

[Gee Bee]

No it will say GPSL.

And 96 per cent of GPSL is owned by MB

 

[Edmundo]

I thought that Griffin Park Stadium Limited sold the ground back to Brentford FC Ltd? And they were surely two companies in the same group, but not one the subsidiary of the other.

Life gets complicated, doesn't it?!
