You've got to remember that my use of the place was getting on for
forty years ago, which I compared with ice rinks all around the country
as I used to travel around on free passes and tried rinks in all different
parts of the country, it most probably is crap by now especially
considering how old it is.

It's not as crap as all that. Come and try it sometime!
