Exactly right Bob, east is the lesser of two evils

All 3 points you make are very true BUT the one downside going down the west route overshadows the 3 hazzards on the east. Its easily sorted if we all got our finger out but this will never happen because pigeon men want everything done for them. I say,stick to the east coast, you are better with the devil you know until a certain amount of work has been done to clear the west route. Over the last couple of years, some top fanciers from the Midland fed have not been heard from at national level. The west route cant be helping them, can it ?

You ve lost it

You mention Wetherby yb race 09 Andy, well for me it was a perfect day for flying pigeons and what happened was freakish. Imo, I think a jet has went through the birds and frazzled most of them as I got 2 back this year with their feathers all burnt. I ended up with 13/26, not great but not that bad compared to most. The returns in this race came down to one thing, LUCK. I think talking about east and west again is crazy unless the west route was cleared of Bop. Yes, there are Bop everywhere but the pigeons cant get away from them down the A74 because of the hills and valleys.

His pal is on here, Alec Guiness. Thought he would have helped you

Spot on J

No not bumming Alex, just emphasising that the east coast racing was good again this year. not that going down that A74, SUICIDE M8.

Incredible ye mean Thought you went to a decent school

I was at 3 x Consett yb races and I never lost a bird Alex.

Thats great Robbie, I know this bird thats just started this year, shes looking for free latebreds She will be delighted Ye dont want to put alot up at once Bob, thats when the BOP will strike them

Ye had tae lower the tone Bob

These same guys cant complain if their favourite doo gets fked coming thru the hills. Yer right Bob, most are full of wind n p/sh.

Bred 18, 6 left Guess ill need to breed some early ybs as well Not too many *expletive removed* folk doing anything,imo. Some guys do all the work

Martins a good doo man m8, in fed racing I learned from the late great Jack McGougan, you must try and get the the bad doos back. What he meant was, the first few races there should be almost 100% returns. This never happens nowadays in Scotland because of BOP, especially down the west.

HERE, Ye can see the racings good down the west, just look at the Midland fed results in BHW every week:

Aye, mine are WALKERS

I think ye should all go west, makes it easier for me in the nationals when you have nae *expletive removed* doos left

Crisp poke doos John

Coming that way they go straight through Larkhall, ye slipped up their big man

Then we ll listen

Danny, I cant believe it m8, your talking 100% sense.

Sorry to see that you are going through with the sale John. Top fliers chucking the sport, Im disappointed m8. All the best for the future anyway and if you ever start up again, give me a shout

Ask Gareth Rankin, hes an expert

Yes your right m8,100% agree
