Does anyone know what newspapers the coverage was supposed to be in and on what day?

I thought i heard them say the 'News Letter' and the 'Telegraph'.
I bought the Belfast News Letter and the Belfast Telegraph today but theres no sign of us. :huh:

Has anyone else got any more information or has actually seen any paper coverage?

Cheers

I bought the Daily Telegraph today and the Newsletter and still no sign of us.....

However, these things do take time, the newspapers are letting stirling know when the article comes out anyway

I'm suprised the Newtownards Chronicle wasn't out there given the event was out in Strangford.

OT: Thoroughly enjoyed the footage on UTV life, looked like you guys had an absolute blast!

Just like to say thankyou very much, the article on utv was very professional looking, made it seem like a serious sport, instead of the game that ppl seem to think it is,

Here is the photo and write-up we got in the Irish News tonight... sorry about the poor quality of the photo, my scanner isn't up to much :whistling:

Not much of a write-up (unless someone found more through the paper) but the photo looks really well!

That's wot I said! How did they even find out about Arnies? Did someone mention it to them?

We walk about the place talking about ASI all day, and then they go and post a link to Arnies... :s

'Any publicity is good publicity' as the saying goes.

There were mistakes in the article. Quoting me as a manager is one. These things happen due to time constraints. The journalists were decent enough to turn up in the first place. Even in the UK airsoft gets approx no coverage in the nationals.

Why don't you look at the overall picture and ask how much publicity your sport got in Ireland as a result?

If anyone types in Airsoft and Ireland in google they will find your site. The news coverage is what triggers their interest.

It's up to you guys to capitalise on what coverage the Irish sport has received.
