To be used for rugby league in perpetuity?

So adding bits to it to raise it to, say, Championship standard but with Hollinwood remaining as tenants as well would absolutely fit the terms of the trust?

Yes this is what I'm getting at. I'm not sure if the distinction between owner and trustee matters in this case.

I have no idea what scope there is on the land for development but my highly limited understanding of these things is that if it actually enhanced RL provision then it would be in the terms of the trust and achievable with the will to do so.

The RFL don't own, simply hold the land in trust.

 

Surely the land is owned by the Trust and the RFL are the trustees?

Beyond that fact that the land must be used for certain (RL) purposes and must remain in trust, it seems to be a difference without a distinction

A Trust is the way an asset is owned.

Alternatively it could be a workers collective, a limited company, a Royal Estate, a co-operative or a State owned facility. Other ways it could be held. 

The RFL are the trustees. They own it. So why don't they use it?

Couldn’t agree with terms with Chris Hamilton and ended up donating to Waterhead (I think?)

[Little no it all]

That’s the point chis Hamilton has no call on fields new road it’s own by the RFL and he needs to pay rent
