No not Elvis, not even King Dong...I mean the Pearly King of old London Town himself.

It's contradictory to go on about how much money the US teams get and how much they train, then suggest we can still get into the top 5. Sorry, BS. Nexus have been going at it for how long? And nearly got pushed out the pro div! Correct + regular training = success = money. And before people say, "oh you dont need much paint to train...." BS again, to train 2-3 times a week players need more support than just a free box of paint....$$$$$$$

Totally agree - even if you've got access to good training facilities and stuff like re-ball or similar, it costs money to get to and from the training ground, not to mention taking upaid leave to cover all the events that a Pro squad will play (as most employers don't allow more than 20 days or so paid vacation)

It's Part 1 of 4 - maybe there are answers coming...

Exactly....

Duff...whatever the answers.....to be realistic they need to be economic. Training as much and as hard as the US teams, now are, means compensating tangible+intangible losses, whatever way it's sugar coated, pro sport is about money. The UK teams are now 'semi pro' trying to compete with real pro's, at least thats where it'll be soon........clutching at straws.

You'll get no argument from me on any of that mate.

Well I think it's a bit like a who dunnit. The real villain of the piece will surely be unveiled over the coming days. Beware of the old ladies who smell of p*ss and biscuits I say.

I'm sure it will make for an interesting read. I've always felt that robbo's ideas were most applicable to top level play, so i'll be interested to see how this deals with paintball in the UK as a whole, and hopefully on a long term basis.
