Dr. Una May:

A lot of research has been done around the business models, and Mr. Murray alluded to the fact that the facility is a lot more than a velodrome. The velodrome is at a level above a significant piece of sports infrastructure which will cater for specifically the national badminton centre but many other sports as well. It is maybe an area that is difficult to put a finger on when we do not have a velodrome, as is the question as to how many people will use it when we have one. As for the usage internationally, our athletes are based in Mallorca because they cannot access any of the five velodromes in the UK as they are all at full capacity, so they are very popular once they are actually established, from that point of view.
