Snow centre

[Train Guy]

See it's not getting any more council money. Was never going to happen it's been ongoing for seven years. For god's sake it's a leisure centre , Not HS2.

The thing is, I have an idea that a sea life centre at the docks area Akin to The Deep at Hull would be a great attraction for the area to build too but unfortunately I don’t have the money to fund it and neither does the council.........we can all have ideas!

 

[BiggEggo]

Pretty sure most folk figured it out early days. Operator with no working capital or experience. Thousands of projected users every day for a facility with 50 car parking spaces. Council have been Trump like in chasing after this, as it went down hill faster than a frozen dog turd.

 

[Low_Key]

shame really. but the figures, both money and number of visitors, never added up from the start

 

[SmallTown]

it went down hill faster

Very clever!

Could have had something like this, waste to energy plant as well.

I thought the advert was CGI, where is Copenhill?

Copenhagen.

It's on the new Ford Puma advert too, with snowbarders boarding down it.

The nearest we were ever going to get to a snow centre was the artists impression...

See it's not getting any more council money.

I wonder if we will ever find out just how much public money and resources have been wasted on this gigantic white elephant?

In fact a sculpture of a white elephant would have been more use and better value.

The project was on thin ice from the very start.

 

[tripleheader]

A slippery slope of an idea.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Apparently the costs just snowballed.
It was going to take an ice age to break even.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

This thread is going to attract an avalanche of puns.
(It's the silly little things in life that keep me going)

Even looking through Eddie Edwards glasses you’d see this was a folly

Had Eddie as an after dinner speaker at a luncheon in london a few years ago. he was boring as fook.

He wasn’t a particularly exhuberant ski jumper either . Great thing about us Brits , we can applaud failure . If he was a Yank they’d have deported him
