No, I like that line, saves me saying "so just to be awkward for awkward sake" Devils advocate has a more intellectual feel about it. :D

Oh and as for your dark side, I don't believe you, your just a big loveable bear. ;)

Not per se. You can bet your bottom dollar that if and when those UK players play in a series that has a serious level of competition, rather than being a pub-league, PGI would start noticing. Demographics alone don't equal sales, otherwise the magazine would be about nothing but rec-ball.

I wasn't just referring to individual players/the odd team but paintball as a whole in the UK. Maze media sell a lot of copies of PGI in the UK and I'm sure those sales would be bolstered further, if only there were a handful of pages dedicated to the UK leagues. Personally I like PGI as it is usually an interesting read, however as of this month my subscription has lapsed as I'm fed up with seeing nothing about UK ball in there, just America (generally). PBUK is pretty much non existant now, I did try taking a subscription for it last year but got a refund after waiting nearly 4 months without an issue. That's a gap I'd like to see PGI fill, if they do I for one will be taking up a new subscription.

But you fail to see the bigger picture. If PGI were to do what you say, sure, they may get some more UK readers, but they'd lose a lot more US and other readers, who don't care about what is happening in the UK. There lies the problem.
Don't forget that PGI is run by a bunch of people that know a thing or two about making and selling magazines, they've been doing it since before the T-Rex went south. They do what they do for a reason.

I have to disagree with your first sentence Buddha. As long as the current content stayed the same and it was a case of adding a few more pages, say 4, that gave information about the UK leagues, then I don't see why that would lose readers in the US? In fact I would argue that for most it would make the magazine that bit more interesting for them.
I'm not saying that PGI don't know what they're doing, never would as they are professional people. What I am doing is giving my opinion as a (ex) customer on a public forum.


Oh and happy birthday to you, noting like a good internet debate to celebrate with. ;)
