Woed on the grapevine is that there is gonna be a massif tourney going down at marchbrook leisure in a months time being dubbed "the welsh open", loads of top teams like Banzai's, JCS Imperial, Chameleons, K2, Nitro, Psycho Pimps are gonna be there, loads of trade stands and.......BEER!

Could it be worth a two page review or even a one page,? Please dont bite my head off!!!!!!!!, Get some snappers down for it quick sharp!;)

Okay,

It's time to stop walking on Eggshells with PGI, what the fk is going on in your mag, year 2000 saw more UK reviews, more tournaments covered, more scoreboard from around the World, these days it's US or Massive tournaments and going over the SAME thing again and again and again, like, how to build a team, how to work a tape, now I'm no editor BUT please can we see maybe some UK based reporters for what is a fantastic EURO Mag, please guys, I mean Diablo Northern Cup played November 2001, any coverage, nope, Mardi Gras (yes before the band wagon folks jump on I appreciate is a bigger tournament) February/Late January, it's in this friggin month <--- Robbo language. Please guys can we please get this sorted, there are teams in the UK EG Shockwave, Banzai, Pimps, the list is endless, just because we do not have fantastic prizes and Angel Heaven at each tournament does not mean we should not get coverage, surely you as an International Magazine should see this, I would also ask the critics of the UK scene to take off the friggin single vision goggles, if we want this sport to succeed in ALL Euro Countries then spend less time advertising paint (6 pages of a certain brand in this and last months PGI) and START supporting the people who pay your wages, virtually NO UK paintballer will buy any other magazine other than maybe Facefull, so surely it would be in your best intersest to indeed show an interest, if it means asking some new and up and coming reporters/photographers to help out then ADVERTISE. Please lets not let the talent and enthusiam of UK ballers go to waste because PGI does not have the resource or the interest.....

Phew, okay loads of grammer and spelling mistakes but hey, 4 cans of beer, it's late, Rangers get a draw in Europe......Back me up, in numbers we have strength.

See you at the Welsh open

Sid controversial as ever and with his own opinion
 
I agree SID, if PGI continue to steer away from UK coverage im sure another mag will step in.
I would hate for this to happen because there is alot about PGI i like (good tech articles etc).
However if a PGI clone came out, which catered more to the UK scene id have to buy it, having subscriptions to 2 paintball mags is just silly.

.....I'm afraid I have to timidly wave a little flag in support of Sid's comments....but please be aware that I never once said 'friggin'.....I'm much to nice a gentleman..........

....besides, I just wanna see my team in the mag atleast once.....

Good Gawd!

Haven't we recently HAD this discussion???

Everyone wants to see more of "ME" in the magazine! But let's face it...you get the coverage if you EARN it. You DON'T get the coverage just because you're running the only tourney in your neck of the woods.

Example...Campaign Cup got great coverage. Toulouse got great coverage. Millineum stuff gets good looks, and I'm regularly seeing bits and pieces on the "Best of the Best series" or what have you in the PGI mags...what's all the fuss about???

Yes, NPPL gets coverage. Mardi Gras. Skyball. Why??? 'Cause it's justified. I DO NOT see the argument for Paintball Games INTERNATIONAL to sacrifice some of this coverage just to appease a smaller player base that isn't as entitled to it!!!

As for advertising, puh-leeze. LOL.

It seems to me that the powers at PGI are making a concerted effort to KICK Euro paintballers into getting their act together (which at times seems like that's what they're doing, and at other times does not) by telling them what they need to do to get what it is that they want. Is anyone listening???

OK there's my b*yatch. Lemme have it...I'm listening.
