Why not try a different racepoint for each section at 300 miles from the centre of the section. Then everyone would be flying roughly the same distance all liberated at the same time. Which section do you think would win?

Would there be separate libs? I`d be concerned about solar flares affecting the doos

Don't think the west gear their yb programme for competing in the national. Last week Fife, Dundee and Angus were at Wakefield and Pentland, Midlothian etc at Newark. Where were Lanarkshire? Tossing latebreds from Otterburn.

As the anticipated prize fund has never been changed on the website can we assume it is as stated. Or will that be decided after the race?

have to say you lot are an embarrassment to the rest of your members

They keep them until your fed picks them up

one of many reasons why doo racing is doomed

Think you`ve hit the nail on the head there. Definitely something in the air yesterday...and it wasn't just percys

Which rule is that? Not heard that one before

One good thing to come out of the whole sorry affair is it puts to bed the myth that racing on the East is easy. All the clever guys who jumped on the bandwagon thinking they would get an easy national winner have found their doos are not any better racing into the golden valley than at their own patch. Where are all the guys who said there would be 500 birds and it would ruin the young bird national. Its all gone very quiet!

I know but the only thing the west can agree on is (they think) it is easy in the east

so why don't some of you form one. theres enough of you who know the answers to everything. simple fact is you wouldn't agree for five minutes so it`ll never get off the ground. you cannae even agree which route to fly yer doos for more than half a season.

Like Kirkintilloch LOL

Calm doon! No got time to go back 40 years. Was just making the point that the so called gold coast which I assume is the Eyemouth area hasn't won a SNFC race this year and that you have to be a class fancier to win a national regardless of where you live

Theres been five SNFC races this season won in Galston, Stirling, Dundee, Forfar and Annan. They do have one thing in common. All top class doo men!

if you think every doo in the race went over Eyemouth you are dafter than I thought (and that's sayin something. I would think Lindsay & Hendersons bird could have been with the birds in the Solway about 1.30. An hour and forty minutes seems about right. Unless it went to Tommy Blairs then flew back to Wishaw

which way do you think Tommy Blairs doos came on Tuesday? Or do you think they were fired from a rocket and parachuted into Stirling. I would say brilliant doos prepared and motivated by a top fancier who doesn't look for excuses everywhere except the mirror when he gets beaten

Well done...great performances. And sadly there are some who would scrap these races and deny outstanding pigeons the chance to shine

Its a secret

correct

Don't think the averages come into it. There are only a few members who can win the averages and they are the ones who go to the longest race. It is not the fault of the SNFC that federations are opting out of their own programmes. They have given feds the option and if their members vote to include the nationals in their fed programme it is the members decision not the SNFC. The north of Scotland fed have a near 500 mile race from Battle this weekend. Every other fed in Scotland could do the same if the members wanted it enough (and were prepared to pay the cost of course)

Nothing on website. Whats the entry?

so a section with 12 cocks would need two 3 pint drinkers filled a day. absolute rubbish

better check rpra rules in case they are different from shu

Sorry for being off topic but couldn't resist. Is there any connection between the burger van and the cat & dog home lol
