Rec Sites With The Worst Reputation

[baby dave]

[TheGurkha]

Im from Birmingham, so, unless one of your new sites is popping up across the road from me, in a childrens park, i guess Solihull would be my local...

 

[baby dave]

and say, on average, making £40 per customer(on average, remember), they take in a staggering £728000 PER week! wow, thats nearly 3million (£2912000)per month! and guess what... thats £34,944,000 yer year.... well... why so many complains about them??? and that was on an average of £40 per customer....

Thats a hellova lot of money, but out of the ~£40 they get from each customer I'm sure quite a large chunk of that goes to cover a number of costs that every site has:

- Rental of land
- Scenario repairs
- Marshall wages
- Equipment costs, repairs, replacement
- Caterer fees for lunch (or ingredients if cooked on site)

They are the main ones, but probably a lot more that also aren't taken into account as customers.

Robbo, I have heard of one site that gets 600+ on the South coast on some Saturdays, my mate was offered the managership of that one (possibly bcause nobody else wanted it)!

Merry Xmas

I met two guys from ministry of Paintball the other day selling tickets to mothers and fathers to give to the kids for Christmas............I had my NPF hoodie on and the guy started to spurt all this SHHHIIITEEE about have i played paintball before?

I had my Motorbike helmet with me and he said paintball is a better buzz than motorbikes(thats another story) When i explained I marshal he began to ask me what it is like to play paintball as neither of them had ever played.
so how can they sell tickets and premote the buzz of paintball, they were moving to another shopping centre in the next week to sell in nuneaton.

I looked at the website for ministry and they premote booking lots of people in and getting a free gun 'so you can shoot your boss'.

My £50 worth....................................
