NEW SITE.

scar guy

Well lads,was wondering about opening a new site,have been building and planning this the last couple of months.and was wondering if any of you guys would come dwn from dublin as the site is based about 6 miles or so from kinnegad.all in all its about a 30-40 minute drive from the the city.you dont even have to come down the m1 you can go through sommerhill,ballivor and into kinnegad,the site is actually situated about 2 miles from ratharney.really easy to get to.plzzz get back ot me about it.:)[/I][/B]

your best bet is to post pictures and promote it before you open it to try get as much interest as you can.

I'm sure most people will visit your site at least once. It's up to you to ensure they keep coming back.

I'd say its closer to an hours drive if coming from the city. I'd definitely be interested as its only a 20 minute drive for me. Do you have any more details besides the location? What is the site like?

Br4tPr1nc3

its very hard to make sure people are defo gona turn up.

most players like the sites they go to,
and tend to go mainly to that site.

and the players that go to different sites, can take a couple of weeks to go back to the same one.

scar guy

well i live in longford but my oul fella owns land in westmeath so were sayin that it be a good idea to start one there as there is nowhere between dublin and sligo so.anyways its about 28 acres of woodland,all natural,were building a state of the art CQB area,as these are hard com by.i was thinking of opening in april.but will be more like june.will set up website within next few weeks under the name Borderland Airsoft.tell me ideas plzzzzz.and get people told about it plzzzzzzzz wud be very helpful.:)

sean corcoran

well i will go just for you, always great to see someone opening a new site

richieffff

I've yet to see some trenches at a site, but that could be for a reason (the weather).

But anyway good luck with the site, will have a look at the website too when its up

thats a great idea, use an acre for ww1 trench warfare, link all the trenches up and you have something unique

richieffff

Yeah it would make for different game styles and I've always wanted to try trench warfare

If the trenches were all linked it would certainly stop people from camping and spraying over the top if they knew that they could easily be flanked.

A strong hold in the woodland that has a high barrier(about 5ft.) around it (made from branches and stuff, no pallets please) and if it was below ground to a level where the guns would be level with the bottom of the barrier would make for a nice defense game.
EDIT: Saw that one on a video of Wexford Airsoft Club. Couldn't remember where I saw it, still though its a great addition.

scar guy

thats a good idea,tot of a trench meself.i can clear some of the drains and ditches out and build barriers around it.keep the good ideas in.:)

richieffff

Is there any kind of a stream or a deep natural trench? A large-ish bridge with some defence ,natural or man made, would make a nice "blow the bridge" style game or something along those lines.

scar guy

theres bits of streams and ditches.i could make a man made bridge real easy.when site is up and runing i will need help from you very experienced guys to organise games.i already have a good clan from longford(20)people interested in gaming. i myself have been gaming since i was 15 and now i 17 so over two years experience.just trying to help spread this great sport all over the country.:)

Some sort of make shift ladders along parts of the trenches maybe?

that would be spot on dude.if their too shallow there hard to move in and if too deep hard to get out of so ye maybe some small makeshift ladders at either end would help the flow of games.
good luck with the site bro

cheers guys:)yere very very helpful:)keep them coming in.:)

Are there any buildings on site?

Arkslippy

I'll try to get up too.

But what's the obsession with trenches from the country cousins.

You need machines to build trenches.

DoBhrionn

Maybe an area with containers or those cabins (the ones in HRTA) connected together so it's to make a CQB area. About ten would do the trick ...maybe more... :P Join them to make one large floor plan

exactly you need a digger and lo loader and lots of bobs to run it.but there is loads of natural trenches that ill clear up.im afriad there is no old ruins or anything like that.but theres loads of little huts and towers were planning to build so!!!!!:)

glicster

and here scar,if your building anything with timber,screws hold better than nails.i kno of one site that most timber structures have collapsed and theres nails protruding everywhere

scar guy

yea nails loosen everything while screws titn everything.again for more info on this email me at <snip> i hope to get everything underway by maybe just maybe end of may.but prob be june.so!!!!!!:)ill also have rentals of gear and guns and mags and stuff.as my friend owns a camo shop in longford.:)

Trenches n bunkers are kick ass, get the auld spades and pick-axes out, thats what I had to do and the best thing about it is it costs nothing and byjesus keeps ya in shape. Grab a load of willing mates to help dig, make a day of it, its good craic.:D

Villafan6

sorry to **** on your parade here, but have you thought about things such as insurance etc

scar guy

obviously yea:)

Villafan6

I remember when I met you, you were quite young would it be possible to get insurance

well not necessasarly staff.but experienced older lads to help out running games and stuff to that affect.:)

Silent Death

Hmm you'll only be around 40 minutes away and after MAZ closed its hard to get anywhere.
Defiantly drop down when its up and running and if ya need a hand with anything give me a shout. what size of a site we talking about, 1 acre, 5 acre etc

scar guy

were talking guts of 30 acres of woodland,swamp and bog.

Sweet, a mix of building and open terrain, personally, would the best. You can get more game scenarios in and incorporate the built up and woodland/ swamp into it.
When ya get pics ill defiantly be interested in those
Anyway good luck and if ya need me im in Clane so i can get up easy enough

Villafan6

Cool sounds good I'll try and get down if you open

theman 61

some of the reasons why trenches are not common on sites is because insurance . they can be sticky at times . hav you sorted insurence out yet as this is more importnt than land to be honest

kevlar29

Hey, not to sound mean or anything but I was talking to someone on this with more 'experience' on boards, are you not this guy? ie. Banned? Like apparently its the same email etc.

theman 61

who me ?? or scar guy

kevlar29

Scar_Guy, Similar name too.

EDIT: Not trying to stir **** or anything just a comment

Silent Death

Just saying from experience, drop that line of conversation Kevlar 29 and it would be an idea for Scar_Guy to leave it alone too and keep the thread on topic.
If there is an infringement mods will deal with it quick enough, coincidents happen.

kevlar29

Oh ok, I'll leave it then. I take back what I said, Good luck with the site

If that's the site, there's a serious amount of clearing to do before some work can be done...

pretty good area, lots of trees
