Robbo you so right it would be so nice to see more sites doing this and some are now starting to listen to what players wants, Skirimish Bristol is one of them and is now running 3 sup air fields with 4.5k air and lunch for £15 a player. If you do the sums I can see why this is happening and other sites need to look at this at a way of making a new income that runs along side there paintball site. Snatch has been there a few times this year training and you always see 30 – 40 players there.

30 @ £15 per Head = £450
£450 x 12 months = £5400

Yes sites are going to have to go out and buy a sup air field and look at netting for the fields, but as you can see you would soon get the outlay back. The sites should also be looking at paint sales as not all teams would have paint and would be looking at buying paint.

If sites did this right then it could be a nice income which would run along side there paintball site. But with anything the hardest thing is getting people to understand that something like this could help them.

Yeah would well be up for that meeting would it be better to have just the supair site owners first then pass the word on or do it all together just thinking we might run into a brick wall with recaball site owners if we have it at the same time. But this good only be a good thing if it moves us forward.

The only problem i have is some times we dont get all the people down we need to cover all the over heads for the month but we train for free (except paint) so that's cool. Even if a recballsite owner wanted me to bring all my stuff and set up there that wouldnt be a problem at least it would be more people coming through.

Robbo,

That meeting could easily be done at the UKPSF Conference if Bully is up for it. Shall we get it arranged?
Syd, I was asked by Steve Bull to speak at the conference but I'm not so sure it would be the best place to do it...I'm undecided and will probably talk to a few people before I do decide to do anything.

And still we're left wondering where to turn to next! If only someone would advise the 'future of our sport'....
