aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand? am i suddenly going to say ,,, "WOW i feel enlightend!" i did read it and i don't think you can count how many you send to wh smiths unless you count how many wh smiths send to the recycling company ... the amount you print and the amount you sell are different you know ... so just chill

Would anyone official from PGI care to disclose how many subscribers there are to their magazine in the UK? Also, what's the circulation to retail like WH Smith?

Magazine subscribers was NOT the original topic, doh! Is it any wonder why I'm so irritable.
But if you want to pursue that question do a Search--it's been discussed before.

plus how many paintballers in the uk dont even know pgi exists? or dont want to buy it? going by magazine circulation isnt exactly accurate ..... try starting with registerd ukpsf players and so on

Well, the original topic was discussing how many ballers there were in the UK, it was mentioned that PGI distribution may be a good way of working this out. I meant the 'Back to the original topic...' as a way of going back to what was previously discussed, and not PBUK jokes.

Yeah, fair enough, i could have done a search, but i was thinking about corelating the information onto the one thread for the guy who originaly asked the question. So sue me...

Oh and suiter...its not rocket sciene to work out how many issues get sent out to retail. I forget the name of the company that deals with it, magazine distribution is well monitored. If anything this is done for the sake of advertisers.

well you weren't specific...

that gives me an idea, i might do a survey and stick it on my paintball online website.. i mean there are 7,731 peeps on here

But not all tourney ballers in the UK have net access. If you want to do a more comprehensive survey, id recomend possibly handing them out at the tournies around the country. Shame most people are usualy too lazy to fill and return surveys.

yeah that will cost me loads and most people will just throw it away, im sure if people told there mates that dont have access to the net at home they can go to a net caf or something to fill it in

Fair point with the cost but i'm fairly confident that Bully has done some sort of survey at his Series events in the past. Might be worth asking him for some information/advice on the subject?
