Tommy to leave dye.....

[Philbey]

Just thought i'd post this up. Sure there will be something very official soon enough.

Quoteing from tommy pemberton's facebook......


So after 11 years in the industry it's time for me to try something fresh, and push myself in a new direction outside of Paintball for my work. I will be leaving DYE Paintball UK on April 1st.
I just want to thank everyone at DYE for the opportunities, all of my customers and everyone i have ever dealt with over the years, it's been a... true pleasure. Hopefully I'll see most of you over the next 6 weeks, at future Pro Killing Clinics or at the event here or there. This sport is in my blood and I can't see myself ever leaving it completely!

Sad sad times

This is either sad, or a very pre-emptive april fools haha

Hopefully when we get something official we can find out if he is slowly leaving hte sport, or (hopefully) he is just leaving dye but pursuing other Paintball causes

Tommy is leaving for pastures new and those pastures have nothing to do with paintball.
Tommy hasn't been happy for some time and this comes as no surprise to those around him.
Tommy Pemberton has been a great ambassador for UK paintball both on the field and off.

Me and him had some great times on the original Nexus and I chose him after watching play for about 30 seconds, that's all it took for me to know this kid really has it ... and indeed he did.

When i was asked by Sergey Leontiev of the Russian Legion to lend him two of my Nexus players a few years back, I had no hesitation whatsoever in sending Tommy ... he was undoubtedly one of the best players this country has ever produced.
He loves this game and I think when he had to give up because of medical reasons, a part of him seemed to die inside.
Playing paintball for Tommy was his lifeblood ... he truly was a great paintballer in all senses.
He was also a great listener and also a person who everybody liked, and rightly so, there were no sides to Tommy, none at all.
A great kid and I wish him the very best of luck in anything he will be doing in the future.
