Just wait until the stadium needs major refurbishment then see how good it is to be playing in a government owned asset. :(
All perfectly normal in commercial property. I would stake my house on the stadium not being in government ownership beyond the 2017 WACs.

Either way, the law is still the law.

Will our owners be keeping an eye on Villa's plans for a trail standing area ? If we stayed at the Boleyn and with a new East stand to be built the timing of including an area for standing could make for a good reason to stay.
