Title: New member, Rochdale, Mandale Park Rejuvenation
Post by: Mandale park on November 15, 2011, 11:07 AM: Hi all, believe it or not I'm a new member from Rochdale looking to restoring Mandale park BMX track just off Manchester Road (A58) near Rochdale town center.
For my proposal I would like to get abit of History about the track so if you know anyone who has any pics from racing their back in the day or has rode the track it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Post by: Mandale park on November 15, 2011, 11:24 AM: Thanks, I noticed Voivod's previous post regarding what material to use to fill in holes etc but he has not been online since last year. Will message him anyway, chances are I probably know them as I am a regular at Heywood and know the Roach Valley Raiders lot.

Thanks for the welcome and your suopport.

Thanks Voivod. Pics would be great thanks. Manc BMX? Asin the track at Manchester Platts? . . .

Appolagies for all the questions.
There doesn't seem to bu much at all on the net in form of pics or history of the track, quite shocking really.

Post by: crazycraig on November 15, 2011, 03:53 PM: I looked at doing something with that track 3 years ago through our company as a CSR project ......... We could only get 10k and that would only do an 8th of the track . Its a good downhill track and a shame its in disrepair ................... It needs a full recon :-\

Welcome BTW
