In theory, acquisition of Bristol Bears and Bristol Flyers post cost of acquisition and that bit is key..they won't especially make money but they won't lose it either so depending on how much it adds to the initial cost of acquisition.

Rugby does lose money Mr P not like football of course. If though the salary cap was lifted and relegation ever came back then losses would possibly increase as its quite cosy currently.

Yeah agreed Natch, was looking at it from a cash perspective too, the Cash Flow isn't huge. Salary cap seems to constrain costs somewhat. Dunno how the transfer system works either.

Well, not sure of his contract length but heard Sinkler is off so may get something or at least reduce the wage bill.

Very unbalanced squad with a lack of big Saffer forwards who tend to be cheaper than NZ counterparts.

Clearout needed but Lam likely to stay as hes on a AG8 length deal I believe !

But I wonder if it just might be the whole nonsense of BS putting potential football investors off. Just a thought

At is simplest it’s increasing the asking price and it’s not worth the extra it’s adding.

Kieran Maguire of the Price of Football Podcast reckons the multiport model is the way forward. 

Multi sport is good for increasing stadium use, it’s not adding (much) to the capability on the pitch.

KM seems to think it's the popular model for investors though.

Depends on which sport, what growth potential they have, etc.  Bears are already top-flight and lose money.  If British Basketball was as big a spectator sport as Rugby for example there would be considerable money to be made from going from 750 capacity to 7500 in the sporting quarter.
