Not necessarily so. The Council may own the land and the buildings but Satanage FC, as tenants, have the responsibility of making sure their customers are safe and sound. And, as tenants, the football club leased the premises knowingly, however 'unfit for purpose' they now claim they are.
Being an ex new town, the Council probably own lots of land and buildings but its ratepayers can't be expected to pay for refurbishing every one of its tenants' premises.
