'I'm not precious about the ownership of this, I think the facility and the legacy of what it offers has to live on.'
Thunder Park in Bangor is facing a race against time to find an organisation or sponsor willing to save it from having to close its doors.
"We knew that we had a five-year contract and we set ourselves pretty high targets of attracting people to the venue and supporting sports."I'm not precious about the ownership of this, I think the facility and the legacy of what it offers has to live on." "I feel like if we can't find a way to stay here, our best chance of survival would be to be adopted into a big, large public-scale organisation like a charity or something that focusses on working with young people.
"We're honestly really grateful at the lengths people are going to in terms of pointing us in the direction of new buildings and things like that," he said. Ryan Henderson is a BMX freestyle athlete for Ireland, having represented them at European level, and is targeting qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
"The fact that even across the water in England, they have facilities like this and the level is ridiculous - we're slowly catching up to them, but if this is taken away, it's just going to drop again."
