I am now waiting to see how many people who gave him shit start trying to be all matey now.
Now Seth is potentially a site owner the sycophants will come out in force. Airsoft groupies who would of thought they would be a thing?

Come on guys. I dont particularly agree with the way Seth has presented himself on the forum in the past. But then again how many of you have acquired a site to run for airsoft use? Its a big undertaking and should be applauded.
All this simmering sexual tension towards Seth doesn't particularly fit in with the narrative of a review thread, let's stick with that general theme eh?
TLDR: Site is good, needs to be well run to be a success, let's see what happens.

As I said earlier it's not like I didn't slate him just as you or others did - but, come on - you've got to admit that the self-styled AFUK dreamer has actually managed to kinda move forward on his dreams a little - I def feel a little bad about trying to shoot him down despite him clearly putting quite a bit of work into finding an interesting location etc.
I remember reading an article yonks ago, which came to mind when I heard of the good news re: Pilgrims - Jony Ives from Apple talking about how trying to work in a creative environment in the UK can be quite shite owing to how the default approach from people is to pick holes in someone's idea, shoot it down, tell them it'll never work. It's good to an extent because finding issues can improve the outcome, but not to that degree. Conversely in the US people just tend to be more supportive - will paste the article here once I've found it.
Anyway yeah to sum up - I read that article, agreed with it, then years later did the very thing I disagreed with - sorry Seth!

Oh behave no one is wishing him ill and I think everbody hopes he makes it work as one more site especially a cqb one in the south is a good thing.
But to be fair right up until now he has come across as airsofts own Rainman so some ribbing is only to be expected. The bit that makes me laugh is until now everybody me included has given him shit but now it is going all "Well done Seth can't wait to play at your site" the level of honest integrity makes me chuckle.
I will say this all other random bollocks he has spewed aside well done for finding somewhere now prove you can actually make it work and you will get some respect back, and I hope you can.

I have done nothing but behave
Lol it's ok from our brief meeting I pegged you as alright-ish which is about as good as it gets for airsofters.

I've had that experience for a long time, so maybe it is a UK thing, either way I'm used to it. I feel that it's the main thing holding us back from having our own Silicon Valley, they take dreaming to another level.
As for my larger plans, still don't have much to show, progress has been down right bleeding painful.
I'll let you know. Thanks
It was never without reason tbf, but perhaps this a chance to wipe the slate clean. Now things are more transparent.
That's my bad.
Sexual tension? haha! Guys, I'm taken and I don't think she'll want to share.
It'll be a group effort to find our rhythm, but I have a pretty good idea of the direction.
Thanks
I'll watch Rainman this weekend, I'm nothing like Tom Cruise but if you say so.
It'll work in and of itself, with or without me really.
Where I see the junction of success/failure is developing it into a top 3 indoor site that it known around the UK.

If you want a really good cqb site you need bigger. The mall worked because it was huge and a 100 people at a time could play there.
That and the fact the marshaling was top notch.
Wrong character but if you can count cards like Dustin Hoffmann even I might find a way to put up with you.

Yeah, I'm looking to be a niche top quality experience as that avoids the "how many players can we squeeze in" conversation.
I know lol, I was being cheeky
Thanks, George. I just choked on my crisps!

Lol trust me wasn't after one and certainly couldn't of gone on a days notice as I have a life (when the wife lets me)
I have learnt over the years to cope with airsofters, generally through gritted teeth. But occasionally it's worth it because a few are special in a good way, just that a lot are special in a speshal way.

Top quality experience sounds good but remember niche generally gets old quick. Fun will keep people coming back. The reason I say about size and amount of players is it always makes the day varied which is important because you need regulars and regulars need the site not to become stale.

Making the composite elements mobile/semi-mobile will aid making sure it feels fresh week to week, if not game to game.
20 Max, then we'll play around from there.

Small sites are more difficult than that as the layout will be learned quick and you can only move around so much.
Most airsofters just want to shoot each other objectives generally come second.

Nah, I don't really like the way Seth is so wouldn't want to be near him too long.
