I think its very sad that Scotland is in this predicament. For what is see, and looking to the future on this, the 2 nationals will be forced to be no more. Financially, there will come a time, because of dwindling numbers, that the 2 nationals will find it impossible to run. By that time it will be too late, for the future of the sport something has to be done now. I see myself being in the sport for a long time to come, but i will not stand by, and abide by rules, that are ultimately going to kill the sport. Because of this stand off with the 2 nationals, there is only one direction that the both are heading, down. As said ,united we stand united we fall, 1 national will go down, but 2 will go down twice as quick. I ask the members of both nationals to come to a compromise for the future of our sport, dont be remembered as one of the ones responsible for the demise of scottish pigeon racing . alex.
