n1ckh Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 I've heard a rumour that the sandpit could be closing ?? Can anyone confirm or deny this rumour ??
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 9, 2016 Supporters Posted October 9, 2016 One day it'll close, not for years yet though.
n1ckh Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 Well yeah that's true lol but I do hope it doesn't close down as I sooooooo want to go there
Baz JJ Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 There are plans to build on it at some point, but not aware of that being near future imminent.
Cipher-032 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Currently being a player there since 1st of Jan this year, there have been no talks In regard to the pit close soon
Randymanpipe Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 So basically there is a huge residential Development of the area going on there and Andy is on borrowed time. It will eventually close as the building approaches the site but don't think it will be for a year or two at least. Having said that, he now had restricted access to the site. Think he can only use it fri,sat,sun so things are definitely speeding up. Any official announcements will be made on their FB page. As with the wing, we will probably get 6-8weeks notice.
n1ckh Posted October 10, 2016 Author Posted October 10, 2016 Cheers guys for the input And I thought the wing had already closed down ?? I was there earlier this year & there was about 2-3 weeks left before it closed
lemon191 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Isn't this the site that the owner is being done for selling stolen mod kit ?
GiantKiwi Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Isn't this the site that the owner is being done for selling stolen mod kit ? Yup, that would be the one. I suspect Sandpit may be closing sooner rather than later (yes, I know it's the Sun, but only trashy papers report on this stuff, ok?)https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1943635/soldiers-facing-jail-after-duo-at-secret-hq-stole-44000-of-sas-equipment-that-could-now-be-in-the-hands-of-terror-groups/
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 11, 2016 Supporters Posted October 11, 2016 You suspect wrong, the day to day business of UCAP isn't run by Andy Stevens.
Darkmikey22 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Andy did release a statement earlier today on a UCAP page. He states that the prices and amount of kit taken was massively exaggerated, and only around 10% of what was reported was even close to the truth. Now I for one never believe what the papers say anyway! Over the years how many articles have they exaggerated involving airsoft guns! Now no doubt the real truth will eventually come out in the wash. And until then I am happy to give him the benefit of the doubt until proven genuinely guilty.
Randymanpipe Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 'Andy Stevens who runs a paint ball arena' FFS stopped reading after line two.
lemon191 Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 'Andy Stevens who runs a paint ball arena' FFS stopped reading after line two. On the plus side airsoft won't gain any negative media from it lol
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 23, 2016 Supporters Posted October 23, 2016 Looks like the development plans have moved forward. The sandpit is closing. I blame brexit.
MrMcG Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Looks like the development plans have moved forward. The sandpit is closing. I blame brexit. Do we know when ? I'll aim to get down there before it does
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 23, 2016 Supporters Posted October 23, 2016 last game was today.
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted October 23, 2016 Supporters Posted October 23, 2016 last game was today. Where did you get the info from.Can't find anything and the UCAP calendar still has game days on it.
Randymanpipe Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Confirmed: last game today, Andy has posted on facebook. Developers have speeded up planning etc so building works due to start soon.
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted October 23, 2016 Supporters Posted October 23, 2016 Confirmed: last game today, Andy has posted on facebook. Developers have speeded up planning etc so building works due to start soon.Yeah just read it. Its a shame but everyone knew it was coming. Does make you wonder how many sites there will be left in this country in a few years. Too many people and not enough space.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 23, 2016 Supporters Posted October 23, 2016 Lots of sites left, although not many as spectacular as the sandpit.
Snakeeyes75 Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Gutted! I was going to play today, my firend pulled out so I just stayed at Dorking.. Got home to hear that today was the last day
Albiscuit Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Majorly pissed I never played there, especially as it was not too far from me
Sacarathe Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Majorly pissed I never played there, especially as it was not too far from me Kinda glad, can't miss it.
BrightCandle Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Ah nuts I thought we had longer, was away at Okto. That sucks. I was never a huge fan of it but it was still one of the closer decent sites and to see another one go on the East side of London is just saddening.
