The main problems I can see with the Lanarkshire birds is your yearlings. They,ve not been anywhere near far enough as youngsters, 5 or 6 Kelso's, at 50 -60 miles. Gone are the days of taking it easy with the youngsters to let them mature, the modern breeds/strains are a totally different make up from the old days. Also there will be a lot of late breds experiencing a large liberation for the first time and the inexperienced monopoly hold back a lot of the rest. Also fitness early in the season can play a part. Finally your liberating in the hot bed of peregrine country and the longer the batch circles the race point, the easier attraction for the peregrine. Good Luck to all for the rest of the season on the west coast, cos I think you'll need it!!!!!
Another week passed and still no update on the latest news or dates of race programme on the SNFC website. Maybe the 3 or 4 PROs are on their Hols ;D ;D
Its good to sit down after the race and see whose timed in although if Im lucky enough to get one I'll be waiting a good half hour before I phone in. On second thoughts I'll no even bother phoning in.
It only works out the velocities if your computer is at the club when striking clocks off, so all this update for the colours of the doos, what a lot of P***, and iam an ets fan, had unikon for 5 years,but you only get told half stories,from reps at Blackpool.
