Another Paintball article

[Dazdread]

We are on our third on the www.bbc.co.uk/leicester/sport site, have had one in the Leicester Mercury and another lined up in the Harborough Mail.

Getting there slowly

Excellent

Can only be good for turning paintball into a sport. I suggest more teams try it, contacts at the BBC will help you and guide you.

Have you obtained any outside sponsorship from acheiving this press coverage?

All Sponsors so far before the news paper because that only went to press last night,

Will let you know if anything happens.

In Short

YES

Getting article up has reinforced the pledges I gave in December. You know, the I scratch your back, you scratch mine. It has also gone down well with existing support. It also gives us a 'shop window' of where to direct potential sponsors, and gives an idea of what coverage they can get.

There will also be a few potential sponsors coming along to see the PA League. I also know that a lot of interest has been built up and paintball as a whole could be getting a return.

fantastic- well done both teams, Seems the media are starting to accept paintball as a newsworthy sport.

Hats of to you guys for doing the legwork and getting the results
