Doncaster.  Novel idea with ramps but the ice turns to slush half way through session.

I haven't skated at many,  Sunderland was great but they've closed it down now.  Whitley Bay is fine but only been a few times.  Skated a lot at Blackpool some years ago but found it quite small.  I don't fancy Doncaster after reading the posts on here but am going over to try Sheffield during the holidays hopefully.

Bradford seems tacky, its an old building and it hasn't changed much since I was there as a teenager lol but its quite large and airy so it will do for me and I'm biased anyway!

Sorry if you've been put off Doncaster.  It's probably worth trying once for the novelty.

Blackpool is quite small but its excellent to skate on, i skate there every saturday and monday. Blackburn i dont like at all, they never clean the ice its always dry and horrible because of the hockey skaters and they never bother to smooth the ice out for the publice sessions.

Hemel in hertfordshire is awful!

Its so small, has an island in the middle and you just cant practice anything!
And the music is bad too!
