Weekday sites?

[XanderBoi]

Anyone know of any sites that do weekday games? I tend to work weekends and don't get to attend games, and I really wanna find somewhere I can play consistently.

Cheers

In order for us to help you, it would be useful if you told us where you are based.

You are playing in the wrong hobby without weekends!

 

However I do know that Battlestations in Snetterton do have weekday sessions.

Yeah, tried to go this friday but they cancelled cus they didn't have enough people. I'm fighting to try and get weekends or even just 1 saturday or sunday off a month, but it's not so easy ☹️

[Enid_Puceflange]

I worked in an industry where weekends was the busiest time, and I never had a weekend off for 15 yrs, unless you were on annual leave

I didn’t know what to do with myself when I changed job to a different employer and got weekends off…….

 

 

oh

 

 

Airsoft ?

It might be a bit far but South Herts Airsoft between Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley are looking into midweek games of there's enough interest. A whole day too, rather than just in the evening like most midweek games

I went there recently for a Friday night game. It was good. Middle of the woods, good layout and stuff. Everyone was friendly.

Blackstone airsoft- R. I. F. T Huntingdon area 14000 SQFT

Special Ops the Fireplace.. Milton Keynes, MK16 9JU.. 11000 SQFT

The Gaol, Oakham area, (hasnt run an evening game for ir over a year now) 6acre prison site with about 66000 SQFT internal floorspace. 

Warzone Coventry... Outdoor cqb skirmish site with wooded area with bunkers that falls back onto film set/cowboy  town area.. Night games at least once a month... Approx 5-6 acres

1st & Only airsoft- precinct 13 not strictly a nightgame but tracers work well in their site, an abandond shopping mall in the center of Walsall town (you can see the people below shopping ?) a fun cqb site(with too many silly rules from the Marshall's) that is very shooty... Approx 25-35000 sq/ft... 

StrikeForce Airsoft Cqb.. Gloucester city center(moorlands trading estate.. Top floor) all weather indoor, over 100 areas of cover/barriers etc.. Towers and raised levels to shoot down from, largest CQB site in Europe... Approx 50000 sq ft , can use all pyro up to mk5/9mm blank, lasers , strobes, nvgs, tracers work well etc... Runs nightgame on Thursday, runs both days every weekend... 

These are all sites ive been too and can vouch as being decent, some better than others but all good fun.. 

Enjoy... ?

Doesn't help op but maybe someone else. Evening games at SCCQB on a Thursday. Get there whilst you can as it's closing in March ☹️

Ironsight has every other Friday evening games during winter. 

Camoraids does Friday evening games.

Special Ops in MK do Wednesday and Friday evening games.

They're doing mid week games? There's nothing on the rift website about that

 

Edit. I'm obviously going blind in my old age. Midweek games are starting next year

This is a hobby that needs multiple people to match their leisure time, and sites open accordingly - primarily as a weekend hobby

 

This does mean that the typical site isn’t used to its optimum at 2/7ths of time, but the customer isn’t around 7 days a week 

 

 

Some things can be run more if there is a customer base - but you could then be looking at the ‘experience’ area of the market and venues that can be diverse in their activities 

 

The alternative to finding an existing weekday site is to do what someone probably did in the first place at those that do have a weekday opening - gather the regulars and establish that it’s viable to open during the week 

This doesn’t help the lone player looking for a game that suits their free time, but it doesn’t hurt to ask local sites if they have already had some interest, or to play when you do get a weekend off and ask the regulars

Sometimes it’s initiated by Marshalls to get a midweek evening as they work the site at the weekend

Sorry to hijack this for my own benefit but saving the need to make another thread.

 

Anything around the Cheshire/Staffs area (maybe slightly further if full days?) on weekdays that's recommend? I work 4 on 4 off and sometimes a week day game is better suited. Indoor or outdoor is fine.

 

Thanks!

Outpost Airsoft just outside Chester do weekday games. Maybe once a month or so, more over school holidays. Normally only half days though.
