Poll, Northside or Southside

Dr_Pepper

Hey this isnt a thread which will descend into which side of the river is louder and better.

However last weekend we were talking to a number of guys and there is quite a bunch from the Southside. I'm just wondering how many travel all the way to swords from across the liffey.

Might be worth setting up an airsoft site on this side of the river.

So are you from North of the Liffey or South of it?

So far every member of the Hawks (5) are southsiders.

Oisn, NOIP and my self travel from Wicklow.

Bray, Greystones and Glenroe respectively.

Beat that!

I head from Firhouse and normally double back to Ballinteer to bring Lemming.

Typical anyone outside the pale does not count. I have been to Hrta plan on going more but it is a 200km round trip for me.

Would you like your new callsign to be Dinny or Miley ?

Northside for me...just a stone's throw from Swords.

Haha gud stuff but stay on topic!

Northside, no wait Soutside...oh wait...northside.

I really have to stop moving around...moving 6 times in 10 years is not fun.

I'm tempted to buy this cottage that I pass on the way up to swords. It's near the airport and 5 mins drive from HRTA. Now that's commitment to airsoft!

That would depend on which side of the liffey

Incidentally ...

"southside!! yeah!!!"

Brownie points for whomever can tell me where that quote is from? Two clues; stretching back to the 1980s and it's NOT from tv/movie

I'm from the Saithside.......

Cuddlesworth

Loughlinstown, southside all the way.

Up the Farnham. Southside and proud.

Anyone own a minivan? You could make a mint driving poor transport-less southsiders out to HRTA or even Drogheda.

Hat's off to you sir, for that reference!

Does anyone want to hazard a Rogue Trooper loadout? Bare flesh can really hurt!

Coming from Rathfarnham too, bring one lad from Stillorgan with me and I believe I have another from Rathfarnham coming with me next time!

DevilsBreath

Myself & krazy_8s come from loughlinstown.
Conkey come's from Dundrum and we pick up Steve in LiffyValley.

anyway.... this thread is getting awfully off-topic, but in all seriousness, if anyone from around the d12 area needs a lift, i go to hrta most saturdays

gandalf

Hmm 18 vs 9 at the moment. How about a SS vs NS skirmish

Thats only because the prison wardens dont let the North Siders use the internet before 5pm

(I know I know .. I just couldnt resist)

Boston

NorthSide massive.

In a northside Vs southside game the southsiders would loose hands down. We've more experience with guns.

I don't know if we could get enough SS memorobilia for the amount of us...

D16? Jebus there's loads of airsofters all coming out of the woodwork around me! :eek:

Ballinteer, Sandyford, Stillorgan, Dundrum, Rathfarnham, etc.

I'm in Ballinteer, and I work in Dundrum. Ah ... bliss .... I get to smile at everyone sitting in their cars in the rush-hour traffic as I walk past

its a bit longer then that , hopefully ill make the trip this saturday now that i dont work saturdays anymore, I can be a mercenary for whichever side offers the most coin

Dont forget Knocklyon!

Churchtown, takes about an hour but its well worth it. Dunno if there are enough players for another site yet.

ambro25

I can never tell if I'm supposed to be Rathfarnham, Knocklyon or Ballyboden

Aaanyhow, yup, 'tis fair few of us round these parts... I don't suppose anyone owns a tract of forested land up the mountain side, do they?

Feck it that's too much effort. Just give me some sunglasses and a scope. I'll be Joe Pineapples.

Anyway, madness aside, I just live too damn far away from HRTA. It's a killer getting home in the evening.

Southside skirmish site FTW!

Just about. The Liberties for me.

Southside... whats the deal with paintballing places? Apart from the fact that they charge through the hole, has there ever been a "skirmish" skirmish, or something like that, I mean it seems a bit wierd to have a perfectly good, sealed off, structured arena, and not airsoft in it. Surely most of the price covers rentals etc, so an airsoft day might not be to expensive. And sure it's only over the wicklow mountains, or something.

o1s1n

Paintball sites make a fortune on paintballs. With airsoft that money isn't there.

Plus I can imagine a lot of them wont want it to take off after the amount of money they've put into buying markers and having them authorized.

It's all just business really.

Jaysus theres a relative army around me here

Nonex I reckon you need to follow your customers and set up on the southside

Great a poll assuming everyone is from Dublin!

I guess I am south of the Liffey being in a totally different
county!

It reminds me of the early days of the Internet when every
mailing lists, newsgroups, BBS board or chatrooms were Dominated by
Americans who assumed everyone on the internet was in the
U.S&A and they did not ask you where you were from they
asked you what state you were from.

One of the things thats driving me mad at the moment
the only two airsoft skirmish sites in the ROI are
more or less Dublin region Based!!!
I reckon there is a savage interest in Airsoft and a huge
underground of people across the country that have
AEG's waiting for the day where a site opens up close
enough from them to travel conveniently and cheaply.

id say its a little early for a southside location .no i mean a second location though it would be nice for the carless ppl, anyone know a 7 seat taxi driver thats free on weekends that could do a southside to HRTA return trip ,might be worth checking with local companys
