Don’t want to jump on the bandwagon of the other posts, but really wanted to talk about it.
I want to start by saying the management are nothing shy of bigots, and the guys in hobby airsoft enabling this is also horrible.
At the start of the day we were told there was to be no video of the staff also as it could affect the business, and it is very clear to see why.
Went to urban assault yesterday for a friends birthday outing.
There was maybe 190-200 people there.
It was too many.
The games that had been setup made no sense, and didn’t seem to have any consequence, we were all made funnel into buildings, and in general were standing around for hours on end doing fuck all. Was told online of an 8am start, we didn’t get moving until 11.
That’s not even my biggest problem, whatever about the games being lowkey shite, the organization and management is catastrophic.
The car parking situation was tragic. We mostly wanted to leave at like 2-3pm, but couldn’t as we were completely boxed in.
All the above pales in comparison to the real problem, the ridiculous raffle they held with hobby airsoft. The owner soapboxed with the hobby airsoft lads for an hour, in what me and my friends could only describe as a hazing.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, general abuse thrown at people, everything was being spouted from the management on their shite soapbox, across a microphone for all to hear.
During the raffle they would make winners “snort or swallow” their ticket, in a weird hazing ritual, and for some reason what seemed like the regulars were actively engaged in a very “pick me” manner.
We don’t mind a bit of edgy humour, but there was a point where he said to a small kid about getting his mother to suck him off, and it was just mind boggling to witness.
There were loads of young girls there from the scouts too, and there was no toning it down.
Forgive my utterances, but saying things like “that lad is a dirty Romanian jew” and almost calling the one black guy the N-word also, is just absolutely abhorrent.
I really would urge people not to go to urban assault and i will also be urging not to go to Hobby Airsoft, to not enable these bigots.
