Goodway stated he couldn‘t discuss figures without it being a closed confidential meeting. Those figures are known as the Council now own the facility, it has tax implications. The 2nd pad area has to be repurposed into a functioning profitable section of the facility. Climbing wall, roller hockey or even winter sport simulation area, restaurants , bars, shop or anything that will insure the long term profitability of the facility. To be honest it’s a lot of area to play with and extend and I’m pretty sure a company with deep pockets and experience is the only option, not sure Planet Ice would invest heavily unless the expansion of the Velodrame in its current proposed form happens. My doubts are if the Velodrome plans become a poorer makeshift alternative, as seen with the area currently, that may make investors nervous and wait. Which is understandable as the users and action group want the Velodrome built before the current site is dispose, the Council want to develop the Maindy site first, we all know that trick, BBT and IAW, inferior and cheap.
