I really don't get the fascination with an ice rink. Go stand by the sun dial and ask any Plymothian what they like to do as a hobby/pastime... ice skating wouldn't get into top 20.

Where did the initial proposal for a rink come from? Someone must have done research and crunched some numbers and figured it would work.

One might say they figure(d) skating.

Not necessarily. I understand (although may be wrong so feel free to correct me) that it was part of the deal Brent had for buying the Pavillions from the council that before he can knock it down and start again he must relocate the Ice Rink.

Hence the need for him at least to have it at HP.

1. I didn't think the Ice Rink was anything to do with revenue for Argyle.
2. Was there not a plan to have a hockey team.

It's not, I just assumed that JB needing to build an ice rink somewhere under the council conditions of his Pavilions development + his ownership of Argyle and HHP + making sense to have an ice rink next to Argyle and the Life Centre.

I'd still like to see an ice rink on that land, to make that area a sport and leisure centre and increase footfall to Argyle.
