## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated in 1908, with the club having run as an unincorporated entity since 1896. ’ The Company had always leased the land on which its $ gor course is situated; at Elmete Lane, Roundhay, Leeds. .

In 1978, the Company signed its most recent lease with the landowner, Leeds City Council ("LCC’). This was _a 99 year lease and included a £4,000 per annum ground rent. In 2002, the Company paid £1.17m to buy out the ground rent. This was at a time when the Company was trading profitably and generating cash. .

Subsequent to the ground rent purchase, the Company’s trading has gradually deteriorated, in part due to the large. debt incurred.
