Of course the bigger question will be how long do the Victorian clubs let the AFL squander their inheritance on these interstate follies?
The suns made a small profit last year. They own their stadium and directly receive financial benefit from its use. The Giants would also have an attractive stadium deal. The AFL did an enormous amount of reseach into these teams including financial models. I dare say they know far more about it than you.
Agree with this. If anyone in 1988 said the Swans would be able to make millions in Sydney in the future they would have been laughed at. Who knows what the future will be like for sport. To say that they Giants and Suns will never make money is just silly.
The Suns made a small profit last year...........they also had averaged about 5k more fans to every home game.
The Suns are making a loss this year no double about it.
Now then this makes us all wander how much the Giants alone are loosing the AFL atm.
If the Suns made a profit last year, how is it that the projections on these 2 teams has gone up from 150m to 220m?
Damm the AFL must be loosing bucket loads of cash on GWS alone.....
