And hopefully while they are building the new facility they will also update the current one.
And lets just hope that it gets more people interested.
For all the excitement about the new facility I see, I also see that the Omnium last weekend was shortened to be a 1 day event rather than the 2 days it was originally promoted as.
Apparently there was not enough numbers to need the extra day of competition(?).

Didn't have this when I was racing and the one thing I am noticing with who ever is running Qld Cycling at the moment is................................................................. they have no bloody idea of promoting it.

Mind you I would say the same about most cycling events that are held.
Unless you either see it on your club's website or personally go looking you dont have a clue what events are on.
However it does seem worse with track.
While we are at it, do you know that there are races at Chandler every Tuesday night and (I believe) at Nerang every Friday?

So that's Brissie. I thought it was Gold Coast that had the games? Or is it being spread between Brissie and Gold Coast?foo on patrol wrote:It's going to be built at Chandler Mike.

I dont understand this at all.
They may as well have held the basketball in Auckland.

Cant see why the Basketball would be held in townsville and this does contradict the rumour.
Also yes Nerang track is on friday nights and being run very well by someone very passionate about the sport, and the rider and spectator numbers are showing it!

WHere is the village ? It's only a quick blast up the M1 from the GC.
I think they are trying to spread teh love around the state too, which is probably why the basketball will be in Townsville.
