yeah it is.
they only thing is it 7pounds 50pence more expensive than down cosford per day.

6 pounds more expensive if you include a meal down cosford.

so it is abit more expensive.
paint is same price down cosford.
and 25 per year whereas 25pounds for life down cosford.

so its not a great deal lot more expensive, but will add up.

the only thing you can really chose between the two sites are location.

but ive heard bassets pole is more for rec ballers, cuz theres buildings and bridges for ambushes and stuff.
alot more role play

btw do you know what paint they sell at bassets pole??

cheers

thats what happens when its owned by WDP. the name is much better know, so they can charge that bit more, even to the members. just imagine what the punters are paying. 50quid gets you 800 balls. which to be honest, shouldnt last anybody all day as you play 9 games. is thenabout 30quid for 500balls. ouch.

paint is WDP victory. same stuff we used at the cosford walk on.

bloody hell,
50pounds for 800 balls.
man that way not good.

i know you can use a ir3 for 125pounds for the day, which is pretty cool, or a tippman 98 for basic 25pounds entery or theres another tippman for slightly more.
so its quite good how you can choose what level marker you want, but than again punters wont really know the dfdfrence between a ir3 and a tippman 98, and those who play regularly and know alittle about paintball would know that, 50 pounds for 800 balls is far too expansive.

tell me mike: do you have membership for down cosford??

man, i cant get over that, 50pounds for 800.
you can get some chronice performance, victory, blaze,inferno round here for 45pounds a box, the blaze and inferno are alittle more, but not as much as 50pounds for 800.

thats rediculous.

anyways laterz.

NPF Member Days

They have certain days for Members with their own kit, first and last Sunday of every month i think.

But it's worth trying the site out, i take a coach-load from my uni's paintball club there about once a month. There fields are good, multi story buildings, trenches rivers the usual recball stuff, + a sup'air field.

They can be flexible on the paint prices, we get ours for £5/100.

yeah, i might go down for a day and try it out.

than if i like it, just get membership for a year and keep it handy.
the only problem i may have is travelling there.

so are there any coach/train.metro routes that go near there??

i live in wednesbury, about 5 mins walk from juntion 9 off the m6.
i can get to wolverhampton tho to jump on a bus or somet.

cheers m8, really appreciate it
