agreed we need a solution to this but there is no point in assuming other parks will be less busy just because we haven't been there yet. When the sun is shining, the rappers play football - it's just the way. Armitage Centre is OK, we never get chucked off when playing at night and it is very well lit, but it is just a carpark with no edges and a bad surface. Seems to be the only place to guarantee play at night though. And every time we've played their we have had good games.
IMO the best option is to get the floodlights back on at Whitworth, till 10pm prefferably and paint a mural on the walls to reinforce that it is a space for bike polo, as otherwise as soon as it's tarted up the local rappers will come and ruin it.
Last night was pretty frustrating though, some people probably only got one game, which really isn't fair.
