Saffron Lane Velodrome, Leicester

[Goldie87]

I wouldn't mind taking a last look sometime. I really dont see the point in putting housing there when half of the site will still be taken up by sports facilities. I like how that Andy Connelly tries to shift the blame onto others for the demolition. Its a shame when someone lit a fire there once they forgot to put him on top first! I wonder where the money they get for the land will go, luxury holidays or something knowing them
