Tips for teams.

If you have found a place that gives you a full days training, on supair, with great facilities for as little as £3. Do your best to keep the boss there happy. Here are some ideas as to how you can do this.

1. Get yourself a bloody barrel sock! You spend loads on your gun/kit/paint, a barrel sock is what? A couple of quid! And NO! a glove stuck on the end of your barrel or a fluffy stick put in there is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

2. Use the barrel sock when you have it. It’s not much use in your pocket.

3. Where your damn mask. I can’t believe I am having to say this to tournament players who “should” know better. I don’t care who you are, you are not too cool to keep your mask on when it should be on.

4. Clean up your mess before you leave. What you pay isn’t enough to pay for someone to come in and clear up after you, so that means if you leave a pig sty around your table, even around the bin (it wasn’t full) right next to your table. It will be ME who has to clear it up for you.

5. Lastly, do not round off the day by dry firing in the car park as you leave. Thirty feet from two caravans where two families live, who have a poor opinion of paintballers as it is.

All this can be summed up in just three words. MAKE AN EFFORT.
I do.

Unfortunately it's a sign of how our society is going down the pan. There are so many people nowa days who have absolutely no respect, or care for that matter for anyone else. Just think about when your driving, how many times do you let someone in on a busy road, or give someone the right of way on a narrow street, for them to take up your generosity without so much of a raised hand to say thanks. Look at the amount of rubbish that you see laying around, not just the odd crisp packet but at times whole bin bags of rubbish discarded by the side of the road, or, one of my real pet hates, those ignorant fcukers who empty their full ash tray in the car park. :mad: There are so many self centred, slef obsessed people around that these problems are getting worse, think about the driving thing for a min, bet you don't let as many people in as you used too because, if your like me, you are getting fed up with un thankful, ignorant gits who can't be botherd to give a little curtisy (sp?) It doesn't take much to clean up after yourselves or even to stay on for 20 mins after you've had your day to help pick a few things up, or take down the field. I bet Gogger gets very little offers of help, except from a couple of individuals of whom I expect are the same ones to offer every week. You know what the really sad bit is, there will be some who were there, who read Goggers post and don't even realise it was them.

I must agree with Gogger there. He works VERY hard to provide us with a damn good training facility 'up norf'. The site is excellent - the hospitality even better ;).

Please, please, please people - let's do as he asks - or he may just get pissed off enough to stop the team days!

One other thing. Most people who train there know that there are usually punter groups in at the same time - what sort of impression does it give his REAL paying customers when us lot flaunt rules that we know are there for a reason? Some punter may just remove that sock/mask/whatever just because they saw a 'tourney' player do it - and you know what will happen then...

Maybe it would be an idea that anyone who is training there - should go around at the end of the day (where possible) and actually help Gogger clean up - I know TBA did last time we were there - so I know it's not that hard or time consuming when you all do it.

Rant over (but this does piss me off - and I don't even work there!).

Call the old bill on carpark shooters.

They're stupidity is weakening your business, and they should know better if they have a marker to take outside with them.

Better then letting everyone around think that you condone "taking it to the streets".

I see your point though, but whos going to get the blame if the old bill get called anyway. Right outside your paintball site, will just come straight back to you anyway.
