Ginge where in Macc are you from?
Also you need to really look at getting a site away from the Macclesfield area. National Paintball Games have a site in Knutsford which pulls in roughly 600 players a week. So to compete you would have to advertise like hell, It also doesn’t help they have national ticket touts (sp?) offering special deals around the Town Center regularly.
You also need to take into consideration accessibility, close to a motor way is your best option. Then you need to purchase your markers, paint, equipment, Co2, Food, Portaloo's etc.....
I've looked into it myself mate, but I am sure there are people on here who own a site and can advise you more correctly.
Good Luck Though, and get a supair field set-up so Evil Macclesfield can train!

I work at the site in knutsford and i don't think you'll enjoy much success with it being around, it's currently having an overhaul to be able to host more players, due to us being at capacity all too often, and new facilities like a permanent toilet block and MASSIVE fort is being built (and i have the splinters and broken spine to prove it ).
We also have a LOT of advretising going on all the time & so you would have to work really hard and give cheap rates to pull in any kind of serious number of customers.
The only way i think you could make it work would be to net up some feilds and make some sup air and hyperball feilds, so you could host frequent walkons and training sessions, you could even get some punters in occasionally, but this couldn't be your main source of income.
