WulDon Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Race Controllers are looking to a midday liberation from Roye if possible - there will be a further update later. never in favour of a midday lib, forcing pigeons to spend the night out imo just isn't right... some will meet there fate due to this and never reach home, but if it's the only chance of a race so be it...

naedoos Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Race Controllers are looking to a midday liberation from Roye if possible - there will be a further update later. No any point in holding them over because of sh** weather just to liberate them in mare sh** weather then force them to sit out. Been too many liberations in crap weather, anyone can see Sunday's better if they get them up early & Monday's even better. They've been in the baskets longer than this before with no problems!

walterboswell59 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 dont know about steven but i would prefer the birds being held till monday if they are being looked after properly at the race point whats the problem monday has the best forcast just now and the birds should be given the chance to home on the day but thats just my opinion and also the reason i have never sent to the longest race to much luck involved in a two day race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) We all knew the weather had to be crap and the birds have had days in the basket that weren't needed. Shouldve been Friday for Sunday/Monday lib as predicted. Edited July 20, 2019 by Delboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WulDon Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 at midday temperatures will rise and at early afternoon be at there highest, early morning lib in cool weather conditions will give pigeons the best start and the chance to cross into the UK, hold them to Sunday now... another half a day in baskets won't matter now... midday lib becomes a lottery!
