i like the thinking it would be some laugh, i saw on arnies a couple of weeks ago some one bought a old magistrates court and are setting up a site in it not sure if i like the idea of a court room set up but CQB in a real building would be nice

saw photo's of that, it looks amazing.

wow are you ever in the wrong place. Try the science and engineering forums instead.

For insurance reasons that won't happen. Public liability for something like that would be hard enough in a fully sanctioned and certified building. Getting even a one off permit to skirmish in a building that's due to be torn down would be next nigh on impossible. There's usually a good reason those buildings are being torn down and it ain't because they're structurally sound.


Mosneys not empty, they're using it as refugee housing. Strangely, the actual park itself and all the rides are still open for business during the summer.

When I was still living in Limerick there was a pretty big Smyths toy store in the center of town, across from the Garda station. About a year ago it closed down and went available for leasing. Everytime I walked past it I kept thinking how awesome it would be to turn into an indoor site. It was more than big enough and you could even put in a second floor if you wanted. It had a mezzanine floor with offices that I was gonna use as a shop/prep area and I was going to put walkways all over the top of it so you could walk around and look down on the action unfolding.
The idea of a spectator being able to see, for example a guy defending a position and two guys sneaking up behind him without him knowing, really appealed. It'd make a nice twist on it and I'm sure it would have enticed more people to play too.

The place is still up for lease...

jesus with rent at the premium that its is the only place you could get would be way outside the city, so you would need transport to get there, which kinda takes away your market share a wee bit

sorry you meant the limerick site

The problem is paying for it. Industrial sites are premium prices because they're already zoned as industrial. Which means knocking a warehouse or the shell of a factory to build a mahoosive new factory/warehouse on it is a lot cheaper than buying a field and starting from scratch, the first thing being to seek industrial zoning.
