Bigda think you are missing the point sprint or long distance has nowt to do with it ,think £30,000 you may then be getting closer to the truth .

Spot on Tommy2 only need to look over the past few years results of some of these races -must think we are stitched up the back

Bigda you are correct about early lib the birds should be up as soon as conditions allow to give birds flying furthest at least a chance of winning although i don't see this happening because of impossible distance they have to cover on the shift ,earliest lib i can remember since the early seventies was five thirty but with changing weather patterns think this could be a thing of the past .think i am correct in saying with those early liberation's controllers had to be out of there beds by 2-30 NOW THATS DEVOTION

See the same happening with chelsea that happened with the mighty LEEDS UNITED many years ago the chelea have at present major internal problems that we ordinary punters will never get to no about,think it is safe to say that wilkins has been picking the team up until present . NEXT management team at ibrox mccoist,butcher, wilkins remember where you read it first

Had a wee dusting of snow about an hour ago only inch or so lying which is good as Xmas market stalls and entertainment in high street today for turning on of Xmas street lights blue sunny skies at present.head over after pint wae ma mates and see Santa for a pressie

Without a question of a doubt,100% good health good system and above all why the top men are winning very very good pigeons ,For anyone who has read Mr Billy Wortley reports on the top performance winners from the nationals he sums it up in one final sentence THEY WERE BRED FOR THE JOB and he should no having witnessed nearly all of John Hodgsons seven national winners arriving from five hundred miles .

Was away to annan looking at work at 7am motorway clear side roads bit dodgy only couple inches of snow of out to lofts for rest of day to get everything spic and span,then of to the scba bowls pairs tournament tonight at castle Douglas you going steven

Great Performances Derek into a far from ideal loft location hang on in there ,all the best mick.

Just a wee covering of snow here this morning but freezing cold wind ,got the soup on the boil to take to work warmer outside than in the conversion we are working on ,oh a hate the winter

My brother in law fitted out new coffee shop in barnstaple said it was nice wee place

minibus left here heading for ibrox they could be in for a rough ride

Well said Rennes and Nantes should never have been dropped part of our history got to be a lib point close to rennes that is suitable ,no matter where we live and race our birds ,we have got to be with the leading group to win plus that bit of luck that we all hope for .

you wouldnt need to worry about overfly if you got your birds back on line down the west its that dogleg thats murdering your chances the hawks cant get them all some of mine make it and yours would do likewise but quicker on line of flight omo

Good evening walter my friend new you would be out there somewhere,your right about the water if the baths to full thats enough for me

think it is not good for the birds steven to swing them as far east guest at national dinner said tens of thousands of belguim and dutch doos in that area weekly no matter how good our doos were , one week they would get karted end up in oslo

A product that can be purchased from sovereign chemicals in cumbria ,sx 70 mahogany basecoat & sx70 mahogany goes for miles not cheap but SIMPLY THE BEST . top coat available in other finishes

Hope they do strike would maybe bring some of todays over rated overpaid prima donas to there senses would not even get to clean the boots of some of the greats of yesteryear

Number ten fantastic performance well done

agm was over in under an hour ,majority decision to have further meeting one month after national decides its programme not a wrong word spoken today ,we are becoming a very civilised lot down here

wee lassie cher gave great performance of imagine ,cowell slagged here of for sitting on stair he wants to go jump of a f---------r

I will donate two 2011 young birds Thanks Ian

not bothered so much about the jump ,would liked two short ones first from 70 miles to give lb a chance if weather unkind ,would like to see a later start to the programme Steven ,i no its not easy trying to keep everyone happy in our fed because of the geography think our federation result would be fairer if we adopted the system used by some of my Irish friends that being measured from a breaking point say longtown would make it fairer for the dumfries and dalbeattie fanciers

Solway federation agm this Sunday ,first up vote whether we set race programme now or wait till after snfc decide,next up east or west. proposal in to have first race from stainmore then miss out cumbrian fells and go to lymm (manchester) that would make my first race 76 miles then next 141 miles ok if weather kind early on in season ,alternative east route returns were better by fed records but lot of pigeon traffic on that side think i will go with the flow as situation in our area like so many others is becoming serious regarding bop

Well done to Eggy Jamieson of Galashiels on winning the joe murphy fancier of the year award,the only member of the snfc to feature on all old bird race results one of the sports true gentlemen well done eggy
