Water Water Everywhere.......

Gups,

The management can state whatever they want on these forums, but since this ain't an official Mill thing, it wouldn't mean jack-pooh.

And I doubt it says anywhere in the Millennium rules that they have to allow people to bring their own food. That's up to the original promoters I'm afraid.

 

[Robbo]

ALL of the promoters are influenced by what happens on here believe me, I don't think we will see a repeat of what happened at the DMA with regard to a thug enforced embargo of taking in drinks etc.
I wasn't around when J-doe was physically man-handled by a couple of thugs whose IQ would have struggled to have matched their shoe size.
He was grabbed and searched like a fcuking drug dealer and all he had on him were water bottles for the team.

As soon as I heard this had happened I went up to one of the event organisers and asked him why they were doing this, his answer was this : -
'Pete, we gotta earn some money somehow coz this event cost so much to put on'........

I then asked him, if we are not allowed to bring water in, could he then tell me where I could buy it on site.
He replied, 'they did not sell it on site'.........

I queued up for 20 mins to be given two pieces of cold carpet masquerading as pizza slices for 6 Euros, I wasn't happy.

Now, this was a PAINTBALL TOURNEY, not a fcuking Gestapo enforced restaurant and I think all players who suffered at the hands of this policy should have an apology from the organisers and a resolve to NEVER impose this sh!t on Millennium customers again.

PS Jay -can u make sure Rob sees this please mate !

Pete,

No worries, he's reading all of it.

PS What I meant in my previous post, was not that this forum has no influence (we've seen the evidence several times in the past), just that this is not an official Millennium/NPPL/PSP/Whatever announcement board, so whatever they may say in here, won't hold out in the courts.

Sykesg Said "Not that it helped anyone who wasn't playing EXL but after a request from Paris, Steve Morris arranged for the water to be laid on for the EXL players ."

It was me that asked Steve Morris to supply water for the EXL and Open X-Ball Teams but as far as I knew it wasn't there. We (Nexus) didn't receive or know about any water being supplied at the event. Did the Tigers or any other teams get water?

And just so you don't think I was being elitist only asking for X-Ball teams to get water, it's because you don't know when you are going to play each day, you are scheduled in for one match but you then might have to play again in an hour so its hard to gauge how much you need for the day and to carry 40 to 60 bottle of water around is a huge pain.

Peace......LEDZ

 

[Troggy]

Fair point anyhoo Ledz - you guys are sat around for the best part of an hour without any real amount of breaks - sounds reasonable to me...

Now if the organisers could also provide beer for the spectators so we dont miss any action.....

They are directly putting lives at risk with restrictions on water!

The same weekend we had to call an ambulance for my mate who passed out from severe dehydration at Donnington festival (and before you ask he was drinking water not alcohol all day)and that was even with water provided for free throughout the site.

Surely there must have been casulties from this?

Can the event promotors not provide water points (for refilling own bottles) like at all the major music festivals? It's not difficult to do (a water pipe and a few taps) and if their gona be money grabbers they could always charge people a very small fee to cover costs of this provision (which isn't going to be a large expense).

 

[Steve Hancock]

They could have ben on dodgy grounds if someone had dehydrated, but i'm not a lawyer so who knows.

So how does it work with millenium events. Aren't the millenium committee organising the events, or are they just approving/certifying events organised by other people?

 

[Bolter]

the funny thing is people were fine if you bought in skunk and smoked it in the stands, but they wouldn't let a Pro Paintball team in with water?

Crazy Amsterdam.

 

[shwoomie]

we had no trouble with water on the gates and we even carried a six pack of 1,5litre bottles straight trhough the gates and no one bothered us....

dunno why but i did see people get their stuff searched but we didnt exprerience that for the whole weekend!

still the catering and beverages were not meeting the expectations one might have of food in a paintball tournament!
