Stabs 3 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Quote from this month's Sporting Gun............ ".....then there's the league's second initiative to buy up marsh and moorland, strip it of sporting rights then sell the land on again." "Broadly speaking the type of land it proposes to buy is only valuable thanks to the sporting rights that come with it. Strip these out of the equation and the sell-on price for much of this countryside will tumble like a stone. Such prime sporting locations will now only be worth what you can get for the grazing rights." "And what of the land it can't sell? That presumably, will go to rack and ruin leading to howls of protest from all quarters and an avalanche of legal challenges for theleague to put it's house - and new bought environment - in order. At a cost that will surely drain its finances and ruin its image." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
