I've attended asylum on several occasions before, at both sites aswell, and can honestly say i've never had one problem or one bad word to say against the chaps there. We've used asylum for walk ons, and an easy and relaxed training facility when my teammates and i have had no walk ons or games available or suitable for us to attend, and the chaps there have allowed us to use their facilities midweek, in the evenings, and are more than happy to help!

Ronnie and Glen have been superstars to be honest, letting us use their facilities whenever we wanted, their safety was top notch, they've always made us feel very welcome, we've always been properly supervised and all the aspects and areas of safety have been made clear.

They've had no problem with us playing as we want, and at whatever pace we wanted, it's been great for the team to have some time to ourselves to discuss things, and take a chilled out playing approach when we feel like it, anything we've wanted to do, or anything we've wanted to change, they've happily adapted and allowed us full access to any part of the site.

As for the not going out when shot, you'll find at walk ons it's going to happen, you always get the odd people that start it, and others often take the attitude if he's doing it, then i'm going to, the best option there is to address marshalls, get them to keep an eye on a certain person, or paint check them, or call them over and get them to watch whilst you shoot them!


Personally i'd reccomend asylum to anybody, it's a really good friendly professional set up, the guys who run it are great, the sites great, and they can accomodate anyone at anytime and you can play however you like, if you want a small number team training day, you can have it, they've opened up one night for 6 of us before, and are always enthusiastic to get you along, no matter how many of you want to go.

That's my opinion anyway, i can't fault the place and love going there, it's nothing but a fantastic atmosphere and i'm going to keep going back again and again. I hope nobody's been put off by the bad remarks, but definitaly go and try it out for yourself.

Ive been going to Asylum pretty regularly since near when it opened now, and i gotta say, its my FAVOURITE balling, no question! The atmosphere is great, the staff are amazing, the venue is first class. I dont have ONE bad word to say about it! People ask me all the time where I play and I tell them, Asylum in Stockport. Dont care if its out of my way, I'd still come here even if I lived in London.

I think you should give it another chance, as it looks like you have shot your gun and left before anything was resolved! And to attack the site like this after one try is just plain rude and immature and you should be ashamed :tsk:

Firstly, I find your comments regarding Aidy disrespectful and petty. I impressed with Aidy's co-ordination and marshalling of the games last night whilst also, and more importantly, always considered the safety of the players!! Yes, there was an issue with one game last night as it seemed that a few new comers joined the one team, causing one team to have more. This was being addressed and was more of a issue of players being unwilling to play on the 'defensive' side than issues with the marshalling!

Regarding 'they don't play fair as no one goes out', I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion or who you are referring to? From what I saw, players were pulling themselves out and the marshals were around to monitor and direct players to the deadbox!

It took me 3 hours to drive to the site last night and by the time we got there I was fairly tired and pee'd off due to my navigators inability to direct me to the site! ;-) However, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Asylum. The games were great, the facilities were spot on, and the staff were more than friendly and welcoming!!! You gave it a thumbs down, I'll give it two thumbs up!

Dave67 seems to have gone on the missing list, hardly surprising really ..... :rolleyes:

I bet though, his explanation of events will now include a damning attack of our forum with accusations of old boy's network and 'Robbo helping out his mates' ..

I've seen it many times before and they do this because it's the easy way out for these type people, they can never accept responsibility or admit they may have been in the wrong and so they try to turn it around and play the distraction game ...luckily for all of us, soo many of Ronnie's satisfied customers took the trouble to come on here and put the record straight ... I think Ronnie and Glenn seem to have a pretty loyal customer base up there and the can only get that if they've been doing a good job.

And if ever I'm accused of helping my mates on here ... then I'm afraid I'm as guilty as hell !!

I spoke to Ronnie today, just to make sure that everything was resolved.
He was quite upset about the disrespectful post on here, and on-site, but he's glad that everyone has taken their time to resolve this.

Shame on you Dave67, you never get another chance to make a first impression. Having not been to Asylum yet, I've been lookng forward to going to a walk on there. But Dave's post put me right off. It's a good job there are a good bunch of people to set the record straight. I'll be looking forward to attending at the end of march.

Went asylum paintball Stockport last nite,Wat a joke it had a 12 year old marshalling the games,they don't play fair as no one goes out when shot then they wanted us 5 adults and 3kids under 13 to play against 20 odd of them as no one wanted to change sides,got the feeling we was going yo be used for cannon fodder.as for the boss and staff there attitude was terrible.so to sum things up if you want a good fair game with friendly people and staff avoid asylum paintball in Stockport

Good point Ben, I've now moved it into the Speak Yer Brains forum since this is a more appropriate place.
Actually, far from being a damning indictment of a site by a dissatisfied customer, it's actually a pretty great ad for an indoor site.
You don't get supportive comments like we have witnessed on here unless you run a really good operation, exactly the sort of operation people wanna play under ..... and so, all you aspiring ballers out there, get your ass down to Asylum and join the inmates .... Glenn is playing the part of Jack Nicholson ... :)
