Bristol Flyers — Investor Profile

Men's · Super League Basketball

Not an audit. Compiled from AI-assisted deep research into UK professional basketball financial/ownership structures (source doc dated 2025, regulatory status as of October 2025). Not an independent audit — verify before relying on any figure here.

Turnover: £700k–£1m (standalone)
Operating result: Operating deficit of £300k–£600k annually, absorbed via inter-company facilities and Lansdown equity
Net equity: Net liabilities — integrated into the Bristol Sport umbrella

Legal entity

Bristol Flyers Limited, a subsidiary of Bristol Sport Ltd

Owner / backer

Stephen Lansdown CBE (billionaire financier), controlled via Pula Sport Ltd / Guernsey holding structures

Ownership concentration

Wholly owned by Bristol Sport (Lansdown-controlled); no independent governance.

Venue

SGS College Arena (WISE Campus, Filton) — the smallest top-division venue at 750-seat capacity, routinely sold out.

Venue risk

Rental agreement; growth is contingent on the proposed Ashton Gate Sports Court (3,600–4,000 seats, Lansdown-funded, not yet built).

Risk classification

“Implicitly benefactor-dependent — standalone viability remains constrained until the new arena is constructed.”

Notes

No incident specific to the Flyers in the source doc, but the club absorbed the broader impact of the 777 Partners collapse via the old BLL. Staff are largely shared via Bristol Sport.
