Also could you not get some help from comunity bobbies ino they cant do much but may help keep an eye on who is to blame.

If you live in Wigan, you've seen worse!

The new track and the old track are separated by about 20 feet! So far nobody has actually trashed the new track, and TBH they might never, but occasional damage has occurred to the old track. Over the last few years nothing that has actually prevented us racing though - just a bit of graffiti and a few side panels missing from the rostrum. Mostly its just empty cider bottles and food wrappers, and lads using our jumps on their BMX.
However, that was the old track with gaps in the astro so big you could lose a car in them. Now we have a shiny new track we'd rather it stayed that way for as long as possible. Whilst a giant spray painted cock on the main straight won't stop us racing (Buds might prefer that!), it will still be gutting when its brand new astro!

any more picture updates rog im loving your panaramic progress shots . and whats happening with these jumps ....

themyster · #**203** 06-04-2011

The problem is everywhere and all we want to do is race, join bury, the damage that happened to the old track happened over a long period of time and we might be lucky and vandals stay away....

tisher · #**204** 06-04-2011

why is everyone slagging off the Kids! at the end of the day nothing has been done to the track yet and any type of bmx / running /skate /bowling/rc track built on a council/public place is always going to have problems with kids vandals dogs grannys etc so stop bitching about stuff thats not happened yet and lets see more of the pics of what hopefully going to be an awesome track

Actually something has happened - someone set fire to some of the old astro that had been lifted when the previous track was dismantled and was going to be re-used
Now in the end they actually did us a favor because now we have nice new astro on the whole track instead of some old / some new, but they didn't know that! And whilst the council has graciously given us this new astro, don't expect them to be so generous if someone burns a hole in the new stuff.
Which is why people are worried - we are going to have the newest and best track in the country and we want to keep it that way!

If you have anything new built in a public park thats not for public use and only have a 4 foot fence on it your just asking for trouble you need at least a 10 foot fence to have half a chance. If you put signs up cctv etc you will never stop it.
Me and Vaughn Skate on the local skate park that was built on our local park most saturday mornings and the amount of times we Have had to clean it up put out fires etc after the kids on a friday night is just stupid
and we live in a nice area

There's normally a giant cock on the straight and that's you when your marshalling !!!

I agree with this, if the council would fund it a palisade type security fence probably would be sufficient deterrent (the ones that are sharp on the top), although it may look like a prison. I think the fence they have round the footy area is just a chainlink type and they are easier to climb. At least if it is more difficult to get over they might think twice if they don't have a potential escape route, a bit like rats, don't like being trapped.

Southport club have had their fair share of massive cock style track graffiti over the years, and them lads are dead posh over there.

It's not just Bury, it's just kids.

Whiskers · #**213** 09-04-2011

Just got back from the track today and I can see no improvement over the past week. What's going on?

captainlip · #**214** 09-04-2011

The race controller · #**215** 12-04-2011

Tuesday, Nothing done since my last visit.

Bradley@BMM · #**216** 12-04-2011

Yeh, I went yesterday and there was no work going on apart from the building next to it. Does that belong to the club?

Bury Juniors Football. They are said to running a cafe there, in that fenced off bit, using the small window/shutter.
