Track Mementoes

What with the old track surface coming out in the near future, there have been various mutterings [even more than normal that is] about being able to buy a bit of the old track as a memento. Even Christopher Boardman expressed an interest in the piece where he finished his last hour record.
So, without further ado or ramblings, I can announce that the Manchester Velodrome will be arranging for bits of wood from various parts of the surface to be taken out carefully and put on sale. We will be having bits of plain wood and also bits with specific lines on them for a higher consideration. Special bits - like where Craig Mclean rubbed off bits of skin as he came to grief - as he has done at least once here - or the pursuit lines where Wiggly Braggins, Chris Hoy et al started many of their winning races - will be in great demand and command many more groats to acquire. {does that make sense? Probably not!] .
Proceeds from this sale will be put towards commisoning a peice of artwork for display at the Velodrome. Anyway, keep coming back here to see an update of what and when and how much. Please don't hassle the reception yet - you might just lose an ear. Be warned!!!!!!!
