Delboy Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Am I correct in saying that both feds are at Catterick this weekend? If so, I think its time to get together lads. Two transporters going down the road with a few hundred doos in them both??? Common sense must come into it here. Also, surely its a great opportunity for any West Region fanciers that want a wee bit more distance into their birds in prep for the upcoming nationals.

kapri 07 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Derek it's happening all over the uk for example fife fed and kingdom fed alot of the time they are at the same race point .liberating a few hundred each it's not rocket science that we should be just 1 fed .and it's the usual sh** politics in the sport that's killing it not bop even though they have some percentage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little to no wind, very fair day. Much the same as it is here. I presume the race controller has done his job and the route is ok as well.

Nae mention of a STRONG NW wind and ma mate who watched the lib said there was no more than a breeze blowing. Naw, but it was 20mph nw wind, how, what are ye saying? If that is correct, the forecast is completely wrong Correct John. That's the official information from the lib site. Little to no wind, very fair day. Much the same as it is here.

JohnQuinn Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Naw, but it was 20mph nw wind, how, what are ye saying? If that is correct, the forecast is completely wrong It wasn't 20mph Derek so yes the forecasters did get it wrong. What I don't understand is you adding the word Strong into the equation that is the kind of remarks that upset people who are racing and there's been enough upset already this year for everyone. The conveyer doesn't even say it and he's the man who cuts the strings if it was a Strong wind he would surely have referred to it as that so fanciers could judge how long the race would take. Great news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I'm at the race John and i'm only going with ALL the forecasts that say it is a fresh/strong nw wind 19-20 mph gusting to 32 mph. It is a pleasant surprise to me that the wind isn't as strong as predicted.That's why everyone should be at the race point imo. PS.Its actually a north east wind here. Good luck to all that's racing . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnaway Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 You are correct we changed the name of South Lanarkshire Fed several years ago to SLIRPC an unintentional bias nuts was that neighbouring fanciers could join if there was capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
