THE DEATH OF ANOTHER GEM
« on: January 12, 2007, 08:17 AM »
Just heard through the grapevine the Stockport sk8 park is closing in April, the death of another cracking facility. Get down before then and session the bowl and the other ace riding areas..

you only miss somethings when there gone!!!

Stodge, was thinking the same thing. It can't be that much.

If we buy it, can we move it south and stick it in one of Dan's fields?

are you sure Mike :shocked: , that place gets rammed with kids at the weekend and evenings. even to the point where there are  gangs of kids just hanging out as if it were youth club.
 bad  news if it is true, we had better make the most of it while it lasts phil  :)
 like the idea of buying it and moving it south, well  as far south as stoke/stafford

Bolton Bones closed ages ago Fruit

it went bankrupt, as the local council would NOT subsidise it as it was privately owned,

if you can get a local council to sponsor a new skatepark it would have a much better chance of survival - difficult !

Reliable sources mate, Bones bolton gone a long time ago!! Stockport to follow, just because a place is rammed at weekends and evenings dosent mean its making money. Theres a lot mre factors insurance etc etc..

hope it isnt so but there you go. So get those last minute meets sorted and get down there..
Paul the guy who owns it is a good guy..

got to find another park then up round here

also make sure we find out the closing date and get a "one last session" booked before the roof falls in.

the place is pretty fooked tbh, and it needs a cash injection.

I dont know dave.

if bones does close, i want to continue riding, so that is a similar distance.

so we should go and have a check of it out one night.

we used to ride bones without a lock in remember........lol

it would be nice if they did..burley interact does lock ins, but i think it may be dearer, and its certainly further, and i want to try to get ridin once a week if i can, so im gonna have to look at riding wherever i can.

this is bad new for the northern chapter.....grim.
shame really as its a decent park, this will undoubtedly be because of lack of profits, there isnt many parks that make money.

forget the take over bid, however good a venue it is, you are flogging a dead horse

gutted for you north west boys, still, rom is only 6 miles from my house.

:)

haro, how do you do
