As far as I am aware, the sample supplied and what has been laid on the floor is the exact same material, except in colour. I believe the sports hall has a brown finish, the sample we were sent is blue.
The sports centre are not "fobbing us off", speaking to Dianne, they were practically bending over backwards to try keep our business. I believe they even offered to supply wood boards for under pit tables, and some sheeting to cover and protect the floor.
It is though quite sad we seem to have lost the opportunity to use a facilitly which we have had the use of for at least 24 years to my knowledge, and certainly even longer for those old enough to remember
