It was obvious from the first post who wrote it, his allegience to woodsball is well known.
Like Russ, i've been in paintball for many years, woodland tournaments, speedball fields, hot shots urban paintball, we've played every type of paintball.
But at the end of the day we all pick up the same guns and shoot the same paintballs, who cares if it's in a wood or behind a sup-air bunker, isn't the important thing to promote paintball regardless of it's format.

How can supiar be that low....
I admit i have seen a decline in it but i wouldn't say it is that low.
I think the game of supair is getting more and more intense so that's why its putting some of the pie eating back players back in to the woods (not me by the way)
I think that the game of supair is becoming more aggressive and faster and that snot every ones cuppa (pussy's).
Flame away but really Bov'd

i tried woods ball i didnt like to slow for my likeing i love supair quick paced action were a tiny mistake can lose you the game i know some people like woods ball and everyone to there own but i dont see the fun in sitting behind a tree for 10 mins supair all the way for me
i think one thing with it lowering with the pace of the game speeding up over here is that its attracting more and more youth into the game and most of em cant commit due to many issues ...
hence the dwindling numbers
also the fact like markie said ... fat people are pussies

Most of you seem to be missing the point. Here's a post from exactly the kind of clown Robbo abhors who says "real" paintballers are the once a year sheep he runs thru his mill for a shearing and claims that for those who have a problem it's all supair's fault and if y'all were simply satisfied to play by his rules everything would be hunky-dory.
To top if off he actively inhibits the natural movement from punter to walk-on to tourney and then whines about how you've ruined paintball.
If you're gonna comment try to be on topic as I will start removing all the "I love supair" posts. Between you people and the typical field owner it's small wonder UK paintball can't find its ass with either hand.

Growth of paintball? Erm, as far as Im concerned companies like WDP and Planet encourage the growth of paintball as its in their best interests to do so. Is this person also stating that as "own gear" is detrimental to the growth, are walk-on players part of this problem?
Am I missing something here (as in replace paintball with the word 'profit', and UK with the words 'my bank balance') or is it no wonder that his opinion derrived under the influence of alcahol?
would i love to get every type of paintballer in a room and beat them with a lump of three by two, till some common sense prevailed. slagging each other off ain,t going to work .working together to inform the public of all aspects of paintball is . yes i know the guy who worded the original post and obviasle some of it could have been worded better, but at the end of the day he as paintball at heart,might not be sup-air but does that matter,the end of the day we should look at the figures wether right or wrong .the percentage of people converting from punter to walk-on or sup-air is garbage by any standards.so if things like the national paint ball club comes along and starts to convert more punters into walk-on and woodland tournie players this is a good thing that every player should embrass and use to thier advantage like teams using the woodland tournies to scout new players and or nurture them plus don,t forget not every site can put in a sup-air fields but they can run walk-ons or woodland tournies
"So it had nothing to do with mass cheating, intimidation, illegal guns and an un-policeable playing field?"
People still cheat at sup air, but they are much more likely to get caught these days. Supair has levelled the playing arena, and provided a game that may just be workable one day when we get our s##t together and stop bickering amongst ourselves as to whose rules we are going to use, and to who takes all the profit etc etc
