Indoor and Store apparently.

pugs144 June 5th, 2013 09:09

Ooopsy. Thank God that's over.

McKee June 5th, 2013 09:14

Honestly, not a huge loss. I don't have this big hate on for adrenaline like most people, and I'm willing to try something once.. but I wasn't impressed with the facility (if you can call it that). The square footage is extremely tiny and the floor plan is boring and predictable. Basically just an L shaped hallway so the games are the same every time and it couldn't support more than about 12 people before it got crowded. Kinda sucks as London seems to have gotten a shit deal for airsoft... Forest city surplus sells shitty overpriced airsoft and gear, and adrenaline seems not understand how airsoft works. Please flagraiders, open a field in London.

McKee, you should check out Flagswipe. Flagswipe is trying to be more involved in the London Airsoft scene. But they are still learning how Airsoft works, they want to get it right the first time. If you are available on July 21st, swing by Flagswipe's outdoor field and check out Op: Rattrap.

McKee June 6th, 2013 00:47

Haven't tried their new field. Way back, probably about 4 or 5 years ago, we did a game out at their old field south of Aylmer... it's really not too hard to "get airsoft right". Just clear the field of paintballers and stay out of our way basically. They seemed to do that fine at the old field.

Is this the same Adrenaline as that troll in the insurance thread?

Aquamarine June 6th, 2013 04:27

Err... any thoughts on WHY it was closed? Failed to pay rent? Peed in the gas-tank of the landlord? Too many asshat kiddies playinga airsoft in parks across the street?

Forever_kaos June 6th, 2013 06:54

One of the fellows who works there posted a message on FB the other day or so, stating it would be closed for the weekend. ~20 some odd minutes later, message was gone.

I strongly suggest trying out Flagswipe to anyone interested for a fair few reasons. Their staff have always put a smile on my face. Nothing but good things to say about 'em.

Yup, and the Mobbs theatrical episode.

Blackthorne June 6th, 2013 07:07

Scuttlebut I heard is Greg declared bankruptcy, sold the business to someone he knew, fenagled his way back into a manger role, then ended up screwing his new partners by not paying the rent.

Same old same old if its true.

lanepratt June 6th, 2013 10:34

The new owner of the pro shop is Dan Woods, his team is black watch i belive. The indoor and there small outdoor are closed for good, but the facebook post said the pro shop may be open again in a week or so. The Adrenaline outdoor is still open.

Adrenalineguy June 10th, 2013 00:14

Outdoor games continue on a schedule. The indoor and the compound are closed. Game reventues just do not keep up with comercail rent rates.

Great turn out as always at the Adventure park today. Watch for more big games and extra scrimes to be added to the schedule.

See you at the field

AirsoftChewy June 10th, 2013 15:13

Highly recommend checking out flagswipes outdoor. Always have a great game there.

fantastix June 10th, 2013 15:43

I'm talking to Dan as to exactly what I can reveal about the situation. Suffice to say for now, that the Adrenaline proshop will be re-opening at some point in the near future.

The status of the rest of the complex isn't clear yet.

Not the whole story, but you have the right idea.


EDIT: I would like to note that The Adrenaline Proshop is it's own entity (legally and in terms of management). What happens to it may not coincide with Adrenaline as a whole.

So, you just decided that you didn't need to pay your rent?

Businesses Default on Rent all the time.. it's a normal part of winding up. If they were smart they set up the proshop and indoor as a separate company so as to not drag the outdoor field down as well.

I't business.. and not necessarily any reflection on the character of the directors or owners

I've been on the receiving end of defaulting clients enough times to feel it IS a reflection of their character: people of solid and reputable character square away their outstanding debts when wrapping up operations rather than fucking over everyone around 'em on the way out.

Agreed.. if that is possible, sometimes it's not... perhaps my perception is a little broader... being a trustee in bankruptcy..

Business and doing business involves risk, sometimes that risk does not pay off. sometimes it kicks your ass.

my point is.. that without all the facts, it's not appropriate to rush to judgment.

The closure of the Adrenaline paintball/Airsoft Complex in London is complicated and will take some time to sort out. Adrenaline is NOT Greg (Adrenalineguy).
Its a group of businesses, staff, members, customers and players that have worked hard for little return to build something that they were looking for (Good People). 1 bad apple did not spoil the barrel; and now the barrel that the been tipped over and the dozen's of good people involved are still good people.

A group of us thought,, Indoor? lets give it a shot.. I took the financial risk with a new partner and the other's poured their hearts and backs into it

The Proshop is a separate entity all together, and always has been. The Indoor and compound were a new venture with some new ownership. It simply did not work.

The proshop has never been behind in it's rent and is simply caught up in a mess.

I appreciate the numerous PM's emails and Texts from members of the community. Behind the scenes there are a lot of good people out here. This was the public post on FB.

The Adrenaline paintball/Airsoft complex including the Indoor tactical facility know as the Adrenaline indoor Is, closed permanently.
This is very hard to Post. A lot of good people have put a lot of blood sweat tears and time into the facility. There is simply not enough revenue to meet the demand of commercial rent rates. This closure has nothing to do with insurance.

I would like to thank everyone that put so much into her.. And apologize for not being able to come up with the solutions to the problems she faced fast enough..

Good news is, Lots of more outdoor dates, new fields, and some great new ideas for games... This door is closed we are looking forward to opening some new ones.. If you have questions PM's or text's please.

Sincerely
Greg

Adrenalineguy clearly states that the bolded text is from a public facebook post, and that message states it is by Greg.

Calm down, internet sleuths.

Even if it were more than one person.. the Stealth account is two guys and no ones bitching about that.

This thread reads like a bunch of gossiping 13 year olds.
