Just got some really bad news from Mark( Betty swallocks )

that Interact is closing

I knew it was on the cards as Sally ( the owner ) has set up another park in Newcastle
and hasn't seemed to be interested in in the Burnley park
When the shop closed too wasn't a good sign

Anyone else heard any news ?

Funny the let me renew my feckin Membership last week ,

Its shite anyway .It only for bloody blackburners anyway

Always sad to hear of a park closing down. I've not been up there yet but everyone seems to like the park. Apart from crazycraig obviously

Whats the deal, the owners just not bothered, or is it loosing money?

i think there the 3rd or 4th person to run it, what a waste of that bowl

hunterdubber · « **Reply #4 on:** May 10, 2008, 12:16 PM »

The owners definately not bothered

Never been accomodating

No cafe run so a major loss of income there

Anybody who's been will tell you the potential was never met

Great Great park , not so great management

I basically went every week for the past 2 years until recently

It will be missed

It doesn't look like somebody else will be taking it over ,
as they are removing ramps already $:-\$

that bowl was 25k alone, got 2 loads of ply from there for the barn as a mate built it.

Thats a real shame as i think the parks really good especially the bowl. I like the fact all the flat bottom in the park is wood which is more forgiving when you bail.

Mind you i reckon alot of people dont go there purely because of that bint, when i went last weekend there was a young kid in front of me at the hatch, her words to him were "spit it out i'm not a mind reader" hardly surprising if that kid never goes back is it.

Anyone got any info on the newcastle park she's involved with as thats way nearer for me?

When you go to Newcastle Steve tell her I hope she can't read my mind

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #8 on:** May 10, 2008, 02:06 PM »

I wonder if the lease has just expired and they've decided not to renew? One things for sure, if her attitude is as stinky as it seems to be then they're always gonna struggle.

I'm going tomorrow so i'll find out as much as i can, what i've heard so far hasnt come from staff there..... gutted....

Ramp shitty is now gonna be the nearest indoor park..... its crap.....

Might just have to buy interact myself and keep it open...

Aye....it's sad news alright!!!

But after the shop was closed and when me and Steve Macky was there last week they were fooking about with things so I'm not surprised. But is there any wonder she's never made any money with a fooking attitude like she has, she's a miserable fooking plankton eating gobshite! It's not just her either, there all as fooking stupid. Me and Steve asked for a coffee after we'd been riding and they looked at us like we'd just pinched a loaf off on to some bread and gave them a sh1t sandwich each.

That place could be so much more, it tells you how good it is when I'm prepared to do a 140 mile round trip to ride it and Macky does a 200 mile round trip to ride there so I think that tells you how good the place is. The main bowl is awesome, the street sections good but good be better for bikes as it's a bit tight. But the whole reason the place has never made any money is because it's been run wrong. There's a huge space for the cafe but they do fook all with it, they've no idea. I'll miss the park but there's one thing for sure I won't that fat fooking gobby cnut! I hope she does go up to Newcastle because if she behaves like she normally does the geordies will just tell her to fook off and boil her head!

I havnt rode this park enough... and now it looks like it could close!!

I reckon someone with a bit of business sense could take over that and make a success of it!!

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2008, 09:24 PM »

I'm bang up for that as it happens. I've had a hankering to run a park for quite a while now.....

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #20 on:** May 10, 2008, 11:14 PM »

it was worth driving for best part of 4hrs hours just for the breakfast when it first opened

I went up there last year when I really didn't have a clue- thought it was a GREAT park.... just a real shame about the nobs that run it- I've encountered some rude and ignorant people in my life but they were pretty special....

If its available for purchase might be worth while looking into it???
