Correct Kevin.

If folk want to continue racing their ybs on the traditional months then that is fine but wouldn't it be great to have an alternative ie. Darkness ybs for the normal summer program and natural ybs for the winter season.

Xmas races have been sometimes -2 degrees with full returns, start thinking outside the box lads.

Batter in and get it done m8, i'll be putting it to my fed and im sure they'll be interested.

Ive just had a couple of phone calls backing this idea. Both these guys are prominent national flyers and have timed high up in this years Snfc races with latebreds trained in October/November. They know its the way forward. Only downside is the lack of daylight for the normal hour workers to train their ybs but this can be overcome by training them at the weekends or earlier in the season when there is more daylight.

Yb racing is getting harder and the pigeon fraternity is not prepared to do anything about it so i've been thinking of how to change the disastrous yb racing we have been having in recent years and I'm sure this idea would help. We should race our ybs 6 races ( 3 x 60 miles, 3 x 100 miles )from the end of September - the first or second week in November. This sounds a bit radical but here are my reasons, 1.You wouldn't need to darken your ybs as natural ybs would've almost completed the moult in time for the start of racing. 2. No stress, no yb sickness to worry about during the season because these viruses are usually all finished by the start of August. 3. Global warming has changed the seasons and the last 3 years have saw fantastic weather in the months of October and November. 4.Hawk attacks are almost unheard of in these months. I cant see a downside to this idea and I think its a goer. Please don't come back with the seasons long enough or I go on holiday etc etc. I'm trying to sort a serious problem in the pigeon sport here.

unbelievable 49/50 now and had 4 from Berwick since last night.

brilliant, happy bday

I sent 50 with Lanarkshire as trainers and have 47/50. They came well.

Well done Wullie, brilliant big man.

Well done Ogilvie lofts, first class

Well done Gordon, top notch

Aye it was cracking weather but not everywhere. I was out in Grangemouth area and it was like a f kin monsoon. All the cars stopped on the motorway as the rain was that heavy. It was unbelievable and any pigeon caught in it would've been finished.

There's other Scottish feds going on Thursday also. It must be the worst start to any yb season for weather ever.

It was only on Monday last week when I put the post up about the weekend. How'd it pan out? Its alright for you lot that feed all-rounder 365 days a year lol. Some folk need tae know whats happening . ps. NW going on Thursday, Almond Valley, South Lanarkshire, Pentland and the mighty UNC going tomorrow. JUST KEEPING YOU IN THE LOOP BIG STUFF LOL

Here we go again, this weekend looking s hi te again. It would do your head in

£170 lot 7

I'll decide bawjaws

lot 7 £151

Are you marking today Andy?

Yes m8, do the same, get the same. Ive actually came to the conclusion that the pigeon fraternity love grief. Same old sh ite every year, running the gauntlet and our doos getting ripped to pieces on their quest to get home. Use yer brains expletive remove, if we sort the problem then it would save every one of you a fortune in feeding, birdage, medication, products etc etc.

correct

Not these drops pal

I can understand your plight m8, I hadn't thought about that.
