True fax! You're seeing the big picture as well. The skaters had a smart platform from the get go. Start with grass roots movement and go on from there. Starting shit now will only fuel the pretense that skaters and BMX'ers are rogue youfs and all that shit, which would work in Southbanks favour to spin a negative image.
Alas, whether that tactic works or not remains to be seen. Ultimately, Southbank has far more money to lose than those in favour of keeping it as it is. I think they would rather sabotage their plans and image as open minded liberal organization than lose.
Public image can always be "recovered" with more Mulled wine stalls and santa hats.
Dollar dollar bill 'yall!
