fleecymanager

i am lookin for feed back on opening a small skirmish site in the enfield ,johnstown bridge area of co meath .its a on 2 acres of gravel yard and an old factory, i also have first refusal on about 6 acres woodland in the locality,just wanted to see if there would be much intrest

There is always interest in a new site?
Enfield would be a great position for an Airsoft site.
Good luck with it!

Another site in the area would be more than welcome, especially for those of us outside the m50 as well as the fact that more competition in sites can only be good for the sport!

New sites mean more competition, more variety and makes Airsoft a more solid sport and something to be taken seriously.

Best of luck with the venture.

Definitely. As someone situated well outside the M50, more sites in my direction are always welcome.

Also, what DOC said :-)

Head_Hunter

I will attend, I've never skirmished because all the current sites are not easily accessible to me. Loads of business coming your way.

Canus91

That would be awesome. A site there is just next door.

It's not that far to Enfield for the city heads either with the M4 motorway and the freeflow off the M50. Would certainly be interested.

cdb

Good luck with it. Would definitely come visit.

Toherinator

We need more sites with atual buidings. Play at red barn and you will known what i mean. It just bring the quality of the site right up in my eyes.

thermo

so is there a date of opening of this site?

mle1324

fleecymanager

sorry for not getting back to ye before now ,been flat out at work, the factory i was on about has been bought and is pretty much out of the picture, i was told that the people in it were moving out but in fact they were moving in, so it is being used now,but im still on the hunt for somthing similar, old factory,urban type site,somthing a bit different....ps thanks for the replys,they all help when i am talking to the bank manager....so the more the merrier;);)

fleecymanager

hi all been working away at the location for a site, my god its hard ,as soon as a land owner finds out what i want it for the responce is not good, not because its airsoft but they **** them selves about insurance, but its lookin good got me a third meeting with a land owner in kilcock and he is very intrested, meeting him on saturday, Will have news soon,sorry for taking so long but the amount of work that goes in a site or even getting people intrested can only be appriecated by them that have done it

fleecymanager

right, heres the story i had another meeting with the land owner,he today has a very large stud farm with more forest than u can shake a stick at ,the part of the farm im looking at is 5 acres of forest and an out farm with plenty of sheds and a yard,its in kilcock and only 15 min walk from the bus stop in the square, i also have a mate who said that he would be willing to run a shuttlebus form the square to the site ,so there will be no prob with transport,it is only a two minuite drive from the kilcock n4 slip road and no more than 25 min from the m50 palmerstown junction . so let me know what ye think:p

Head_Hunter

Sounds like a great place. Count me in.

JackF

sounds good man ,

best of luck with it

fleecymanager

any of u guys know who is the best insurance company to go with, im in contact with one company in sandyford but would like to get a few quotes, from different companys, any recomendations would be great;)

deco nate

i think you should pm the other site owners and see what they have to say,from what i know,and i may be wrong seems a lot go with english ins,look at the bray thread,hope it helps,and by the way from what i heard its not cheap,good luck:)

Have to say, If its a deacent sized farm with usable buildings it would be great!, I think we need more sites with real buildings for more of an urban feel, Someone else posted here that Red Bran is a great example, It is, it really adds to the realism when your trying to assault a building and not a convenient wall of pallets!

Best of luck with the new site, When you get set up Zombie Hunters ZERO will be there!

there are plenty of sheds and a very large open yard that backs on to the forest, i want to go down the urban route , but i will also have the forest to mix up the games,tommrow will tell a lot i will have the first of my insurance quote.....;);)

skapegoat

Good luck with the quote(s) I am in celbridge and know at least 10 good men that would be interested in gaming where your settin up.
It's really good to have a mix of urban and woodland.
How passable is the woodland?
Does the land owner want bio bbs or the normal kind?
I would say starting off is expensive but once your up and running it will be less costly.

Exxoll

I think this is excellent news. I'd love to play on a few more sites that can combine urban buildings alongside a woodland setting. Something about moving the battle from one to the other is really exciting.

I'll definitely make this a regular haunting spot if it gets up and going.
