Questions

I’m doing some training at work where I have to do a practice presentation and have decided to educate my associate employee contemporaries on the ongoing saga that is the County Ground.

Though I vaguely know what I'm talking about answers to the following would be extremely useful

How much rent do we pay the council each month?
Is it right that we own the stands but not the land?
When did we first move to the County Ground?
Why did the proposed ground in the Front Garden fall through?
When were each of the individual stands built and what are their (approximate) capacities?
