Herne Hill Velodrome Closure Threat - Save the Velodrome!

i wasn't there but know plenty of people who were.

i did not mean in a "you weren't there you should have shown support" way, rather just so i knew if we had interpreted things differently.

The chairman of the meeting is a QC of some experience. They have a good number of well connected people on the committee. Burbage Road is not cheap. People afford houses there by being competent in business. I would prefer to rely on that mob to achieve something than on a bunch of well meaning cyclists.

why are you assuming that i said cyclists should be running the show? i have no doubt in the abilities of the committee as it currently is. i said that local residents who are not cyclists probably don't know that much about creating a sustainable business plan that is based on cycling. as rob said, VCL have been running the thing for the past few years so should probably be involved in creating one, but i don't remember anyone on the committee saying who was going to come up with the business plan, or any mention of VCL being involved with anything. that the public lack of this plan, which seems what it is currently resting on, should probably be a larger issue than they made it out to be.
