Needs to be asked here. Seeing as my name was brought in withte "TJ & Tyger" thing (And, TJ, you still owe me $30 for that cab ride you bastage!)
The UK is abou equal in size to one of the 50 US states. And yet, you don't see a magazine dedicated to "California Paintball" only. Oh, back in the day you did, but not anymore. Ok, you can argue that "Another Printed Gazette" has a Midwest or a West coast bias, but it really doesn't.
A "UK ONLY" Magazine better cover most of the Euro play in order to have content from month to month. And even then, you need writers to actually make the articles in the first place.
Don't get my intentions wrong, wish them nothing but hte best. But by only covering the "UK", they may be doing more damage than good to themselves. Granted, the US presence in PGI is pretty big, but I don't see any UK guys putting virtual ink to virtual paper and writing up their games for publication. If you want to be noticed, you need to get up and be noticed.

Well I was at the 1st tournament of the year yesterday, and interest seemed pretty big, it's what we need. I'm pretty sure that a whole country's worth of paintballers should be enough support for one mag. Plus, it can only be good for the image of the sport over here.
Some good points all round but
Totally agree with your point though, a lot of players complain that they don't get a mention but do nothing to ensure it happens.
Robbo Your football (proper football not pick it up and run ball) analogy is spot on. I support Preston North End who regularly get a crowd of about 12,000 but rarely get a mention on national TV news reports cos' in the grand scheme of things thats nothing.
Gillie, good look with the mag, I applaud anybody who's trying to further the sport,
