there are quite a few amazing buildings in blackburn/darwen where we could do this shit over 3 or 4 floors. i'm talking 10 story abbandoned mills and they are massive. If this bmx malarky hardly breaks even then more sould be done over several floors to make some brass. a gym. indoor footy, bar, fooking budget clothing outlet, who cares as long as it's a viable business.

we need one in blackburn, every kid has a bmx now.

You're only right Towny,

I'm gonna get on the guy at cellblock's case in Blackburn

or the homo at Fox's cycles in Colne
his brother is absolutely MINTED

Just buy 1 frame per week instead of 10, that should give you about 2 gwand a week to throw down the gizzard of a skatepark

I would love a pop at it but unlike the KLF/K foundation, have no desire to burn a shit load of money in a remote and barren wasteland

Any update anyone ? $:-\$

After todays visit it looks like its coming to an end....

The cafe is now closed, the mini ramp behind the vert wall in the beginners section has gone, rendering that section useless....

Staff say it'll be kept open as long as poss but will close its doors sometime this summer, anyone fancy taking it on the rent/rates are 5.5k per month.....

unsurprisingly its run at a loss since opening!

As much as i love the place i wouldnt take it on at that money...

And fook me it was hot in there today.... ive lost half a stone in sweat!

hunterdubber · « **Reply #30 on:** May 11, 2008, 08:35 PM »

5.5K rent

So it's more viable than having a bad cocaine habit then

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #31 on:** May 11, 2008, 08:46 PM »

Or an o/s bmx habit

Like I said, fookin money pit

So that's ,that , then

When do you sign the completion papers , Simon ?

Jt · « **Reply #33 on:** May 12, 2008, 08:09 AM »

i'm interested...timings all wrong though for my partners in crime.

5.5k might be bullshit..but rates would be at about 35/40p in the pound, but could probably reduce that right down with a few tricks.

so say 3.5k a month in rent, then another 1.5k in rates...another grand in lectric...

6k a month aint that bad given its size.

could turn it around in 6 months easy, run it for 2/3 years and punt it on for a princely sum.

so without taking any wages, your minimum investment would be about 30k....then rebuild cost and install of shops/stock etc..

another 20k say?

so comfrotably, all you would need is 50k up front, big balls and a few quid to live on until you get some positive cashflow.

p.s dubber, i am not minted, well not yet anyway

technically though, you are incorrect..the foreskin gets used as my brake shute on the e55 intergalactic space hopper.....

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #40 on:** May 12, 2008, 07:49 PM »

Yes, but don't expect any financial return $:-\$

Jt · « **Reply #41 on:** May 12, 2008, 07:54 PM »

can you get it to return investment, and self fund, and over what period?

making money shouldnt be too much of a problem once it gets to that point.

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #42 on:** May 12, 2008, 07:58 PM »

No-one has so far, but I spose with someone there full time making it happen I dont see why not, it would boil down to the people running the job really

hunterdubber · « **Reply #43 on:** May 12, 2008, 08:04 PM »

I've been expecting you Mr Turner

One of J.T's many pads

Flatcap · « **Reply #47 on:** May 12, 2008, 11:11 PM »

I reckon if done right it could self fund and maybe even make a small return.

Lets face it, them who run it now are fooking useless. How they have ever expected to make anything is beyond me. Wrong attitude, no business plan, etc. etc. I could go on but I won't.

Fees are too low for a start, £5 for your yearly membership is a waste of time. I'm sure most people would be happy to pay at least £20 for a yearly membership on top of your session fee. I certainly would if that miserable cow wasn't there.

The park is quality, it just needs running right. More events would help too, it could be used for one of the rounds of the Old School Freestyle Series.

Bettyswallocks · « **Reply #48 on:** May 12, 2008, 11:39 PM »

When i left on sunday there were 2 left in there, at its busiest i think there was 10 of us in....

In summer none of the young uns want to ride an indoor park when the outdoor ones are free.... Clitheroes only a stones throw away

A fiver a session wouldnt even pay the leccy....

macky · « **Reply #49 on:** May 13, 2008, 02:28 AM »

So is anyone gonna go for this......??

that park could be Amazing with the right ppl behind it...

£20 per year membership fee is what most parks charge anyway...

get a decent caff goin in there, a shop...

wasnt there gonna be trails there at one point too...

a change of management is all that gaff needs.....
