Danny.....soon we will be racing from Norway pal ....regions north South East and West?????Surely the new guys will want that?...no lets have a new region lol...folk look in over the fence at somebody in a diffo region lol??? P***....

2017 wusnae as great.....staarted racing 32 left with 14

Over complicated for me Andy .....i know what I like and after time breeding with your chosen stock you can easily breed what you like in the hand. As for winners....thats a different thing as other knowledge is required.......but blood will tell so they say.

I have paired my best racers to my best racers for the last 3yrs.......some success.....but the winners still come from the stock in the majority. My 3rd sec bedhampton is a son of the hen I timed on the night at the Gold Cup this year and roye the year before when paired to a yearling cock that won twice as a young bird. 6out of 11 diploma winners from that race were straight from unflown stock

OWEN only put winners to winners....no family and no characteristics....just winner to winner. When I told him my stock was 8/10 yrs old and hadn't been outside never mind a basket he told me if I stopped line breeding I would have more success

I remember clashing with OWEN on here many times as he laughed when I suggested that winners could be bred by looking only at the bloodline and not at any performances by the parental linage. Breeding on line or putting winner to winner will both give you results but at the end of the day good birds are good birds

Sorry but you will need to tell me how you avoid it because it would be a Great help

Remember them well . Once gifted me a cheq hen when a was a Bairn. Smasher so it was. Am only telling us how I done it and that's how it was done by the undoubted best of his time Mr R Graham....many roads .

Ave never had any of them bad boys and get the regular

Champion....well done

Well done....did you remember to take the water away and sit them in the heat?

Well done pal

Great stuff see John Carmichael flying the flag for the fechan.....makes the argument of racing east a nonsense....how times have changed

Yer right there Mick.....guid yins are guid yins dusnae matter what time of day or might it is

No thanks Derek I have no time for that. Anybody that does take the controllers job has my respect because it's the hardest in the game and open to critic even when 95% of the members would have libbed. Yes mistakes happen, some would say that's inevitable, so let's see which brave soles are willing to take on the responsibility.

Am no prepared to do the controllers job as it's difficult and time consuming. Loads of organisations will be getting rid of the controllers after their poor racing last year? Job oppurtunity everywhere lol

Your crazy pal.....absolutely top idea but unfortunately the Solway would still be up front so not poss ...lol

It's too far Davy.....to hard for me and most....great for the boys that get yin but really not for most....always should be part of the prog tho

AH DINNY WANT TAE RACE A *expletive removed* DOG LEG LOL. .wishin ye the best Tommy.....but am pretty sure a dog leg dusnae suit the west either lol

Nae dog leg in the world has ever suited any race....usain bolt dusnae run round a corner while the rest run straight? C'mon Tommy that's common sense

No now seemingly.....you make rules at club level (SNFC ) at the SHU sort it out.....nah lol

Have raced both just the same returns Tommy. Nae first drop for the solway racing frae Belgium ...is it about returns or about the Solway lol.....best of luck guys. I put this up cos I knew it would spark interest. I don't think there will be much opposition to the proposed change .......2018 will be interesting

Deffo.....you've hit it on the heed ....the shortest fliers don't get first drop.....no proper racing anymore....instead of the Solway it will be the eye valley lol...cmon Tommy is the snfc no affiliated to the SHU and therefore fly under their rules?

Yer right Tommy......solway will be last every nat
