okay - don't know if this has been posted anywhere else, but my copy of Jan PGI only showed up yesterday ....

From January PGI - interview with Rich Telford, captain SC Ironmen.
"...providing there is not a tournament we [practise] about every fortnight."
and then you read a bit later on ...
"We get between 50 and 75 cases of paint at practise, and shockingly that's what dictates our practise - when we're out of paint, that's when we stop practising."
Now is this a have, or do the Pro teams actually use that much paint at practise ... for gods sake man, someone tell me that it is a misprint!!

It's no misprint

S'what tha man said...must make people who pay for paint weep!

:p

Still, back in tha old days Aftershock used to go thru 18 knuckledusters a tournament - and those titaium studded puppies ain't cheap - and Robo used to use a minimum of 46 cans of hair gel before each game, so top players have always been extravagant.

Maybe I need to park closer to them and practice puppy dog eyes.

Then again, I doubt signs of weakness will get you anything from the like ;)

PAH I almost feel sorry for those dudes, maybe i should send some RDX sponsored balls over to make up for what little they get , well maybe they can buy some cheap for some BLING BLING.

I knew they got a lot of free paint but 500 boxes a month thats taking the piss.
i think it takes the piss and the whole damn toilet system too!

500 cases is madness!:D
