Myself 0/8, four of these birds have SNFC diplomas, two of them have 2 diplomas. I couldn't have got them better and backed that by slamming plenty of cash on them.Without doubt this is one of the worst channel races in history and lets not kid ourselves about it. Its became a *expletive removed* lottery. The SNRPC always get better races than us, maybe its because they haven't a north or south section and the birds run up the coast and cut across in dribs and drabs after hitting co path or Dunbar, I pointed this fact out in another thread. The Snrpc have less birds in a crate, they use Geraldy with better access to water, they have the birds welfare at heart first and foremost. Its about time we stopped the selfish,political, egotistical p ish that is killing this poor sport. Get the game sorted expletive remove. Id start with 1. Central marking for channel races 2. Geraldy transportation with less birds in crate 3.Professional controlling 4.Outside haulier 5.New forward thinking committee/officials that have a great knowledge of distance racing and the tradition of the SNFC. 6.Flexibility on marking dates....I have never thought of leaving the SNFC to join the wee national but it definitely looks an option for 2017 if things don't dramatically change.
