Its been a while since I last posted.

The other day I went the the National paintball site in Skocton, just opposite the airport. It was a work trip with my dads work mates and I tagged along.

The site was very poor;
*poorly maintained equipment, the markers were constanly in need of repair.
*poor safety (I got shot in the leg, IN THE SAFE AREA, from a ball from the play area, could have been my head!)
*poor sanitation as there was no porta potty,
*and to top off, three CO2 canisters, blew from their valve fittings.
*and a crap lunch. Two measly hotdogs.

Has anyone else been to this site and experienced the exact same conditions?

Are you trying to say the valves came off the bottles? Or did the burst disks rupture?

If you mean Stockton-Teesside then I know which one your one about, and I've played there myself years ago and then it was in a bad state

Just give Point Blank a shout next time you wanna play, probs the best site in the north east, although I could be saying that cos I work there :)

Graham :cool:

BAD SITE

POINT BLANK AT DARLO IS A GOOD SITE I HAVE PLAYED THERE A FEW TIMES, DEFINATELY A TOP DAY OUT. ALSO PLAYED AT TOP GUN NEAR THE METROCENTRE AND DELTA FORCE IN CRAMLINGTON, DELTA FORCE WAS PRETTY GOOD THEY LET YOU USE YOUR OWN MARKERS ON SITE AND THEY WHERE REALLY WELL ORGANISED SO IF YOU WANT MY ADVICE GET YOURSELF DOWN TO POINTBLANK OR DELTA FORCE FOR THE DAY

Alright so newbies who go there, and have not played before are put with guys who have their own markers and the newbies get their butts kicked, and never come back. NICE!!

delta force

Thats not the case you cant take your own marker to any delta force site now, as they had some muppets with thier own kit almost blow themselves up. The owner of DF has now told all sites under no circumstances must own kit or AIR be brought on site.

Wouse101 - did you complain at the time? This would of been an appropriate way of doing things, as all the issue's you have raised should be addressed by site management.

and xXx - take you caps lock off - posting in all capitals looks like your SHOUTING! :D

Well that is definately not the case, Their is about 8 of us go down to Delta Force Cramlington all the time and 5 of us always use our own markers however the manager will not let us use our own air/gas bottles , and as for blasting guys who have not played before if any other players complain the staff make you take site markers out but that has only happened to us once in the last 4/5 month and we play there at least once a month.

my bad

I worded my post wrong, markers they are ok with as long as they are CO2, not AIR, bit dumb coinsidering the latter is safer, but alas not Delta Force for me.
