6310 Lynne AndersonOMG!! This is horrendous! Why close a facility that is such widely used by all walks of life?? Our trainers are excellant and the kids so enthusiastic? I don't know how the big guns at the council can sleep at night!! Why not make the cuts in other places for example your gardeners department 3 times i passed them last week and 3/4 were working with another 8-10 watching!! Whats that all about! The problem with our council is they spend all the money on useless initatives and don't keep the ones that really count! Aberdeen has already lost an ice rink in the last decade or so don't let this be another!!! I will apologise now for the rant but not for what i've said!! SAVE LINK ICE ARENA,ABERDEEN:):)!
6311 Greig HenningThere is too few ice hockey teams in Scotland even with Aberdeen ice rink open!
6312 Aaron Munrowe have lots of talent in the hockey team but they can't all be going to elgin/dundee every sunday.i think it should be kept OPEN.

6315 MichaelI wish to see this facility remain open. The Council have to acknowledge that they'll not only be closing down some mere building used for Ice Skating etc, but also be deleting an ICON from Aberdeen City, which I'm sure will do it's image and tourism some fine favours - sarcasm. The Council are going to make this City a very dull place if they keep considering it wise to dismantle the City piece by piece. WAKE UP MEN, AND STAY TRUE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS RATHER THAN GREED!
6316 Graham HowesHaving been involved in the Elgin clubs from thier inception until just recently, its hardly surprising that the council are taking this decision, In Elgin also there is virtually no support for the "non-fashionable" sports that are played, besides the "old men" of recce this facitilty is one which keeps many youngsters of the streets at weekends and channels thier frustrations into a sport rather than in some mindless stupidity that so often is accredited to the younger elements nowadays.
6317 AnonymousHi, we go on holidyas regularly to Aberdeen and we always go to the ice rink I think it would be a real shame if it closed!!!

6319 Stephen RaineyAs a former Vice Chair of the Executive Committee of the Aberdeen Ice Hockey Club, I am very disappointed to learn of the potential closure of the Links Arena for 18 months while the facility is refurbished. As ice hockey is a minority sport, the Aberdeen club struggles to attract both players and coaches. Despite this, it competes favourably with the more establiched clubs in the central belt. A closure of the length proposed could threaten the future of ice hockey in Aberdeen. I strongly urge the Council to find an alternative way to keep the rink open during the hockey season if at all possible.
6320 Gemma SmithI am in total disbelief that the rink is being closed. I frequently used the ice rink when I was younger and still do today occasionally. Every Saturday my mum would take my friends and I skating. I remember being so proud when I received my first ever pair of skates. As I got older, the skating on a Friday night was the place to be and I never missed a disco. It was there that I made life long friends with other kids. It would be a scandal to deny our children today of all the fun that can be had on that rink. Please think again!!!
6321 Colin Griffinhave 3 kids there every Sat, would pay more per session to keep this open
6322 julia ironsideworked in the rink for many years. best job ever. met some wondeful people and have many great memories. please dont close it. it would be a sin.
6323 AnonymousWith the Olympics and the fitness of our youth in view, it seems unfortunate to be closing worthwhile facilities that give our youth a goal and a sense of achievement while getting fit!
6324 nessiekeep it open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6330 AlisonDon't Close The Linx !!!!!!!!!
6331 Kayleigh WattI hope it closes ... Mwahaha *cough cough*
6332 MIKE STEWARTInstead of closing the rink the council should be expanding the facility.It took us long enough to get the rink after Donalds ice rink closed.Its a facility for the public so keep it open for the public (TAX PAYERS)
6333 Alannaplz save the ice ring people have lots of fun there
6334 Edwina MCCaffreyPlease dont close it. It is a great way of giving kids a hobby and exercise plus they are not on the streets.

6338 S MarshThere are teenagers getting good use out of the ice rink at present. It is a great facility for them. Why should they miss out for up to 2 years whilst ,no doubt , very expensive refurbishements are carried out to make "one of the best facilities in Scotland" ! It certainly isn't much of an asset whilst it is out of action - is it? Dos it have to be the best or will good do? In which case why can't you phase the refurbishment and minimise the disruption to the users and staff?
6339 AndrewThis is disgraceful. Show the council what for. Brapppp.
