The recent debacle with the HC stadium leaves me thinking about what happened with Chelsea in 1997, where the fans had a non-profit organization formed and it bestowed ownership to the fans of chelsea. In otherwards, the fans owned the stadium and this avoided any property management company from purchasing the stadium and property, meaning that the fans had a vested interest in the team and stadium.
They are called the Chelsea Pitch Owners PLC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Pitch_Owners ; in theory we can apply this to the supporters of T&T.
I thought this was a very good idea on the part of Chelsea, I wonder if the same initiative can be applied with one of our national football stadiums. It will give the fans a vested interest in sport for one and also allow all home games to be played at a venue that is conducive to great support and also will keep home games at home. Its just an idea but the government and ttff would have to agree to this and whether they will is another question.

They don't own the stadium. They own the naming rights to the club and ground.

Nice idea but revenue on the use of stadia are far too low in Trinidad to make it viable. I think its a great idea however but financially its a money pit

Oh and freehold refers to the land and the rights that an owner can have.

Boi tnt fans eh even owning the friggin swipa to cut the grass.
BTW.. do clubs have any part ownership in the smaller stadiums we have?
-
they own the freehold not the stadium two very different things.
In england you have freehold and leasehold and most properties tend to be leasehold with the freehold owned by someone else. At the end of a leashold the building and land returns to the freeholder, but with most leasholds being 999 years its a long time away ! Also by law leaseholds can be renewed and have to be done at a fair market price so freeholders cannot price a renewal so high as to get the land/ building back.
So in short the stadium is not owned by the fans its owned by chelsea village PLC
