SOUTHSEA SKATEPARK IS CLOSING

[Trev]

i would have though southsea would have cost a lot more than a couple of hundred grand.  the land itself must be worth a few bob to someone in that prime location.

i spoke to dennis wingham not long ago about setting up an indoor skatepark and he said it would take about 200k
to do it properly,i put it forward to the investors i know and they where quite happy about the figure so im sure theres a way of us keeping southsea

that figure seems really low.  all depends on how big you want it i suppose.

you've also got to take into account whether you'd be buying a warehouse or renting it.

It's highly unlikely anyone will ever be able to buy Southsea skatepark lock stock and barrel.  And especially not a nationwide consortium of reprobates like us   

As for setting up our own indoor park; it can be done for £30k, it can be done for £500k and anywhere inbetween.  Assuming of course that we don't intend on actually buying the building.

There are many ways to do it, but be warned - its bloody hard to make it pay in this country. Or in any country for that matter..  If everyone agreed to accept it won't ever pay and meet the costs involved regardless, with the right management it might work.  It's a big ask though.

Southsea Skatepark should be listed! It's of historical importance! They list fookin 80's office blocks ffs!

[TwoBobRob]

Funny you should say that, the bandstand is already listed.  Hence why its still there, the fooking thing.

[Lazarou]

It gets in the way but you have to love the bandstand!!

[dirtyvans]

thank fook for the bandstand, it used to have speakers in it pumping out music 

anyway the rest of it should be listed

[keyhole kid]

ive done many good endos under the bandstand on rainy days .............
