Can someone explain what the heck is going on for those not educated on UK laws ect about the grounds ( and maybe a little history on the present owner)?

so the latest vote was to put in a bid for the ground, minus the warehouse , so we could own/lease/use for next season? but we need to convince some governing body to let us take it over?
