Sheffield United Football Club Limited has announced that (with effect from 1st July 2020), it is the new owner of the Bramall Lane stadium, the Shirecliffe training facility, the hotel, the enterprise centre and the Crookes junior academy.
The reunification of the properties back into the ownership of the Club is an important step in the long-term strategy announced by H.R.H. Prince Abdullah to reclaim ownership of key assets and to improve these assets.
Prince Abdullah said: “When I assumed sole ownership of the Club nine months ago, I committed myself to preserving the Club’s heritage, upgrading the Club’s physical assets and improving the fan experience.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has certainly brought unexpected challenges but we remain dedicated to our original strategy and bringing the stadium and other properties under the ownership of the Club is an important step in executing on this strategy.
“We now look forward to capitalising on this important step as we establish the Blades in the Premier League. We’ll have more good news soon,” he added.
