| Quote ="hula89"Dont even know your own team do you?
The RU club is the same business as the RL club. It is one Business known as "Leeds Rugby."
See now I didn't know everything but I knew that part. So how can a tenancy agreement be signed by themselves?
You need to look it up. And btw you still haven't proved that you own the whole ground?'" Leeds CF&A Ltd runs the Rhinos, owns the stadium (excluding the cricket pitch and stands but including the hotel and main pavilion), charges rent to Leeds RUFC Ltd, has millions of ££ in the bank and makes good profits. This is quite clear to anyone with a basic understanding of financial statements and/or the set up at Headingley.
Leeds CF&A is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leeds Rugby Ltd, which in turn is owned by Caddick group.
Leeds RUFC Ltd runs Leeds Carnegie RUFC, has sod all in the way of any assets and relies on direct and massive subsidy by Paul Caddick and Leeds Met to survive given the losses made. I believe the company is now owned directly by Caddick group rather than as a subsidiary of Leeds Rugby Ltd as it used to be before a controlling interest was sold to Leeds Met University - who subsequently gave it back when they realised what a turkey they had bought. The company pays rent to Leeds CF&A (the Rhinos) - but probably not at a market rate.
Since Leeds own their own ground and have to pay for it to be developed themselves it isn't as easy as, say, abandoning one's own historic stadium to move into a new football ground being built nearby where one doesn't have primary tenancy. But those are the challenges homeowners face that tenants do not.

That's why central park is currently a shopping centre.

Not really because they would still be overshadowed by a whopping great big dump.
Plus the prospect of you lurking around in your anorak would be enough to scare anybody off.

Lurking is a much under rated pastime young Warrior.
You could learn much from cruncher, who I suspect spends much of his time in dark corners, although to be fair, your description of him as a whopping great big dump is a tad cruel.
Accurate,...... but cruel

And yet we are still able to offer cheaper ticket prices despite being the poor tenants!

If you had, it might've made you look less of a plank.
Though admittedly, that may not be easy.
