Herne Hill Plans Unveiled

You make a good point that MrsMyth but, should the facilities be attractive, it may be easier to get corporate entertainment use of the velodrome and by so doing, bring in some good hard cash for the velodrome and for its coaches.

no doubt. no point in having a wonderful looking facility if it fails at it's primary objective of being a sporting/recreational cycling facility for s/e london

@MrSmyth - like people have said, supporters/families/etc might be more inclined to attend if the setting/aesthetic is less drab.

of course they would. some people would be put off if there was no hard standing bikewash and inadequate changing/showers after a muddy cross race.

^^^ and exactly the statement that will put off the rest of the local community. You're great at inclusiveness and encouraging non cyclists aren't you?

yes i am thanks. i have managed to drag non-track cyclists down there and a few non-cyclists too.
