Title: How much - roughly - to build a track???
Post by: Bushwacked on December 04, 2008, 06:01 PM: Been quoted two figures.... £50k and £500k - anyone have any ideas which is more realistic...?

Looking at either regional standard or National standard (but suspect Regional is fine)

£500k would be for an internation standard track i would say

Post by: Timmeh on December 09, 2008, 03:36 PM: What about Lottery funding OR Olympic Ctte Funding? :Great_Britain: :Great_Britain: :Great_Britain:

"They've" just given £20million to cycling (was it 20?)...admittedly it's daft giving MORE cash to what we're GOOD at, but if it means (possibly) more BMX tracks then let's take it!! :Great_Britain: :Great_Britain: :Great_Britain:

That Manchester track looks nails...I'm out of breath an sweatin' just looking at it...
