A.O.N

Hi guys,

AON will be making a trip down to you this Sunday bright and early, there should be around 20 of us and I think only 2 have been before.

We've all heard great things and I'm really looking forward to kicking some ass on your site (hopefully) :rolleyes:.

We...(4 of us) have never played in the red barn, but would love to give it a go.Every time we discuss going at least 2 of the people say they have not got the right boots, and that you are not let play without proper combat boots. Is this true or is it another exaggerated rumor.? We would have been out at least 3 times by now if this apparent sanction did not exist. Obviously proper footwear is ,but we played Fingal in winter and footwear was never a problem. Please advise folks.TIA

Hi Walker, we don't allow players to play in runners as of the risks attached with any possible injuries. We do insist on good boots with ankle support , they do not have to be army/combat boots. After all you only have two feet (we assume),and you gotta protect them, same as eyewear, Safety first then fun.
If your stuck we usually have 4 or 5 pairs of boots to lend out. Just pm me or email the site and I'll put some by for you.:)

Thanks for the prompt reply Dobby, my wife just came back from Meath street market after looking for boots, but they were closing. They only has industrial boots in stock.....summer time you see.We live Southside so we would not want to drive all thje way to Swords only to be turned away over footware. I appreciate the need for safety and all that, but I now feel a little more assured after your reply. These are teenagers and its hard to define where the runner ends and the boot begins in what they wear on their feet....Im sure they will be fine, and we might be out this..... weekend weather permitting.

Work boots are usually acceptable, so long as the ankle is supported.
As I said we have 4/5 pairs on site and if needed just email me sizes etc. before the day so I can put some aside for you.
Look forward to seeing you guys down..:)

Hi Dobby, i'll be coming out tomorrow in the morning for the day for my first time. About the boot safty issue, I have workmans boots, but they don't have ankle supporters I THINK can you confirm please:


They have steel toes, and there lighter then my own runners, have used these plenty of times, and there great boots. Afterall, there called "Saftey boots" . Let me know if its ok.

Rob

PS. It's also my first time in the rain, so should I bring like towels or something? ._.

*DOBBY*

Hey Rob, The look fine to me.
See ya tomorrow:D

Boots are boots, you can tell whether or not your ankle is supported when you've got 'em on. Definately worth having for the barn, lots of places you could go over on your ankle there. Plus I wouldn't say it'd be fun losing your runner in the stream either. You don't need to spend a million bucks on boots, just get something that will support your ankle and you'll be fine.

Exactly - my current boots cost €15 in decathalon, last time i was in Paris.

Hey again lads, just wana say thanks very much for today. I was a virgin to this site before, and it was my first time going. Have to say, had a absolutely brillient day, my new main site this one is. Loved the very last game with finding the boxes, took a good hour for us. So unfortunat that yellow team won with 1 box tho :L bastards!! :P

Thanks again, will deffo be up there in the next two weeks or so.

Rob

PS. If any1 is thinking bout going to here, I HIGHLY recommend you try it out!

Another large turnout today, thanks for enjoyable few games. Even with the heavy rain later in the day, the woodland canopy gave enough cover to play on, great day with honorable players enjoying the crack and donuts !!!

ravydavygravy

+1 - great day, even the rain couldn't put a damper on it.

To be fair, I think we robbed the red team in the last game, winning with 1 box to 4 (our one box happened to have more points in it than the other 4) - the funny thing was, the highly contested last box (in the tree behind dodds) was the one with the minus points - we lost the box in the end, but the minus points it contained gave us the game. Luck has a strange sense of humour...

Indeed...we spent a good 20minutes looking for that stupid last box, when it was right infront of us! :P

It kinda sucked for us coz we were all happy at the end, FINALLY we won a game vs you guys nd were were chuffed, only to find out we got the wrong damn box's haha

l CaESaR l

rossism

some great games today.im wrecked:)

and tanks for the lend of a battery when mine died:)

citizenken

great day yesterday, even in the mud, Im the one who lost the pistol sig226, if you find it just post it here (or email me citizenken61@gmail.com)and Ill pop up and get it. I think I lost it on the last game @ when we were attacking (yellow) the back end of the courtyard where the flag was, we came across the ditch at the corner i think it might be in there, but it might have fallen out farther down the track. Be back soon.

We will be back, great site (great rules), well laid out (finally another site where you can shoot what you can see), sound lads running it and great game scenarios.

What more could you ask for?

Oh and we kicked ass in that box game.
