As for revenue streams...I still think rugby in the northern hemisphere misses a hugetrick with thelack of big sevens tournaments...I see no reason why a few 3 day sevens event in the summer wouldnt generate huge interest big crowds and tv viewing figures too

Dragons’ new owners bought a significant parcel of land in the middle of a city. 
Cardiff Rugby have no such asset. I don’t think they even have a long term lease agreement at CAP, although I could be wrong there, the relationship with CAC always confuses me
We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

I am sure Cardiff used to be one of the venues for the world sevens series didn't it??

It's bad news. This must put the PRA in some jeopardy now. It affects all of us.
What's going on?

Awful news. Sounds like their new owners haven’t invested what they promised. It’d be a travesty to lose a historic club like Cardiff.

Potentially move the Ospreys to Cardiff? 

What assets do Ospreys own?

Sad demise of the club, but demise it is, and no attempt to resurrect or prop up the entity should take place via the WRU when all things are considered.

I hear the capital thing, and gutted for the players, staff and coaches of course, but the WRU have been presented with a clear opportunity to reset if all this plays out.

I'm not sure I'd agree with some of that rhetoric, but the underlying comment is right.
