To: Channel 4
Everyone who signs this Petition believes that Sup-air Paintball would be a very intresting and extreme Sport that would be have high audience rating.
We believe that if US can broardcast Paintball and get a MASS intrest, we all agree this is more then Possible on UK Television.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
if you seriously think anyone will listen to a number of e-signitures, then youre kidding yourself... and when written like that, you can't expect anythign more than afformentioned stock reply with 'paintball' inserted...


you may think youre helping, but by putting across something like that, any semi-educated loon in a broadcasting company will laugh his little cotton socks off. at the least, you are making a fool of yourself; those that have added their names to the list. at the most, the whole sport (yes i know it isn't, but for lack of a better term... etc) and the community that is built up here
 
Well i have an idea and it willl take not just a few of us But the WHOLE of this forum to make an effect, im sure we can all come together and make a point (over the internet) that this is what Television watchers want.
I'm all for getting paintball on T.V and I'm happy to sign the petition but it isn't what television watchers want, it's what most of the paintballing community wants which to a lot of T.V companies would mean crap all. Well done for trying though, would be really cool if something came out of it.

oh now that nearly made me laugh as much as this thread.

Now im guessing you aimed that reponse at fish and not myself, either way i'll answer for the both of us.

All im saying mate is look at it this way, if you were a broadcasting company and had an email e-signed by 250 (lets be realisitc) saying please show us on the tele, would you take the risk?

Now lets not start going down te insult road, as i'll happily back up anything i say here in person.

Oh and plus im far from lazy ;)

And what exactly do you plan on trying to get on TV?

The PA? ...the UK Masters? :rolleyes: I'd get bored of that within seconds - and i understand it!!!

We need to get the Millennium Series on TV - film the CPL - then air episodes with 2 games per showing kinda thing...
You need scores on screen - like in football (all paintball on tv is missing that!!!) and higher camera angles...guys on the floor rarely work well - but do on occasion...



Oh - and the online petition is gonna do ****...

I emailed ITV , For you Americans its the Largest Telvision borardcasting networks in the UK.. i emailed them explaining how i think Paintballing would defently increase in numbers if it had media coverage,
Dont take offence:rolleyes: but that sounds as if you wrote to ITV and told them that being on TV would increase the numbers of people who play paintball:confused: Why would they care? If it increased the numbers of people watching ITV by a few million or even hundred thousand they might be interested but they get letters like this suggesting programmes about how wearing tinfoil hats stops the aliens hearing your thoughts, which probably get the same form letter back.

And Mikey, you are lazy, you only play snake because you get to lie down:p
