the_bloke Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 They've moved quick then, I was there in August and nothing had been done at all. Surely it takes more than a sweep and some new sand in the long jump pit to get it up to any sort of standard for athletics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banksy Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thats cool - any word on Don Valley... could it all come up trumps and have both stadiums and running tracks back in action? What we need are some sustainable business initiatives that will attract users to these facilities. Peel people off their Sofas....Council tax credits for all those who complete 10 laps of the track :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellylocks Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Glad it seems to be on schedule Im really looking forward to it opening again as it's so much better down there for throws with it having the seperate practice area. Its been a real struggle since its closure as we're not allowed to throw hammer or shot at DVS because they damage the pitch. Im literally counting the days now and really hoping its not delayed!
