The 'putting things inside velodromes' idea seems obvious until addressing the practicalities of usage.
Still only effectively one venue at a time, use of the one will nullify the other when major events/busy sessions are going on.
Being that both BMX and track clubs have their bigger sessions on Saturday mornings, there's bound to be some issues.
Can you imagine a BMX session going on in the middle of an HHV Saturday induction?
Brilliant if you've got either a tunnel or bridge, or if toilets and a water point are available in track centre. Otherwise you've got major traffic across the track all the time. Already a big problem at HH when busy from what I've seen.
The reason Manchester and Newport work as multi sport arenas is that people playing 5a side, ping pong and badminton can do it without walking across the middle of the track whilst a session is in progress.
