Now to add my two pence...
I visited the site today(its after midnight so technically yesterday)
I played the full session 2pm - 6pm it was £30.
Now this is a lot of money for a few hours of airsoft. I can play all day for £20 not too far from London, however its 20 mins down the road and not having to pay petrol, buy a lunch and snacks for energy etc I figured I would try it as I wont play again for 4 or 5 weeks.
The site was not full (the website said 30 players max) there were only 16 players. I cannot see how having more than 20 players in total would work. 30 would be bedlam. Still not as packed as Bunker 51 gets (one of the main reasons I stay away from there).
Brightcandles original post was familiar sounding, many of the same issues, however there was a chrono.
Spawn kills were common, in fact it was an issue in a few games. We were pinned in the spawn, getting shot whilst in the spawn and then getting told off for shooting back from in the spawn. Our spawn was overlooked by a few positions which were all manned by the enemy and were just told "theirs plenty of ways out, find a way" even though both ways were being over-watched by the enemy team.
The game play was great, fun and fast paced, no waiting around before or after games, briefing started on time and the game was underway by 2.15 which maximised the game times which I liked.
Quite a few people lighting others up, especially dead players.
The shooting dead men and spawn issue was dealt with by the two marshals.
Marshals were few and far between, the site could defo had used another two to help keep an eye out on the ground and help gameplay.
Communication and organisation could have been a touch better, one of the games we were told the enemy could not fire out from the prison, I was shot from out of the prison (thinking my back would be clear) and when I asked the marshal he told me he moved the other team back so they now could shoot from their. Unfortunately he did not tell our team!
One thing which did annoy the hell out of me is site size, now I may have read the info wrong, most likely did. But im certain I read the site was the size of a football pitch. I was expecting a full size pitch, not a 5 a side pitch. It may have implied the site was in a building the size of a football pitch as the building was huge, but the game zone itself was very small.

Overall I would go back, its close, easy to park, and actually a lovely looking site (not hugely well laid out but few rarely are, each to their own though) The marshals were helpful and very friendly (sounds like different guys from before, no Kenny. And signs up saying alcohol is forbidden :lol: even though there were some glass bottles in game zone <_<
The players there were very friendly, the marshal seemed to know most people, and most of the guys today knew each other and were accommodating to us newbs!
I will check the website and as you can see the bookings, I would certainly decide to go back at short notice if there are not so many bookings as a last minute skirmish.
