JonesyBhoy Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Gold Cup surely must go back to the Liege / Burdinne line ?
dkj Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Posted October 17, 2020 Gold Cup surely must go back to the Liege / Burdinne line ? That’s only my thoughts, at least it getting talked about, all proposals must be in by the end of the month
JonesyBhoy Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 That’s only my thoughts, at least it getting talked about, all proposals must be in by the end of the month Do away with the inlands Imo Gold Cup line back toward LiegeLongest race out toward Luxembourg direction Ypres ✅Roye ✅
dal2 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Surely Reims must be on some kind of cnut list by now?
budgie Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Consider Ypres on 3rd July to suit Federation s and increased birdage move Troye to Friday 9th drop Roye . Edited October 17, 2020 by budgie
dal2 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Consider Ypres on 3rd July to suit Federation s and increased birdage move Troye to Friday 9th drop Roye .Less channel races Andy? Think the gold cup should be easier not harder...let's get some entries in....drop Maidstone
Buff Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 Burdinne. Was a fantastic race for the gold cup
dal2 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Posted October 17, 2020 That’s only my thoughts, at least it getting talked about, all proposals must be in by the end of the monthDo you think there will be any other options put forward rather than East David? I think not ...and much less voted in.
dkj Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Posted October 17, 2020 Do you think there will be any other options put forward rather than East David? I think not ...and much less voted in. I think the south section guys will have a program in for the west Side Will it pass would not think so but you never know For me I would like a 550ml gold cup Race and 600ml Race for longest race. And a coast race for yearlingsLike testing my pigeons would like to do away with the y/b/national

Delboy Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 Maidstone yearling National , Ypres yearling National , 520 mile race on same line, 550 mile race on same line ( Gold cup) 600 plus mile race on the same line ( longest race ) Stepping out in distance with each race like any other programme. YB Nationals 300 and 400 miles. We must keep testing the birds imo.

dal2 Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 Good races and returns from Ypres....could that be distance over line?I admire the commitment to have long distance racing but we should look at the racing we are having and adjust accordingly surely?
dkj Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Posted October 18, 2020 550ml/ 600ml racing is the fairest racing, because very few pigeons make it on the day or early next morning .so no matter were you stay You have a good chance of getting a good one well in . Or even a hard 500ml race In the shorter nationals the pigeons are not split up as much and loft location is so important 1st drop
Delboy Posted October 18, 2020 Report Posted October 18, 2020 Heres a radical one for you, the Gold cup should be the longest race. It should be at least 600 miles to the central belt and liberation should be no earlier than 1pm. This gives EVERYONE a chance of winning the big yin.

I would agree with that But getting a pigeon flying 550ml plus on the day is something else what a feeling

Back in the day when you voted for the Gold Cup race on your Rennes entry form my old man always put Nantes. Showing my age noo 😆

Long Distance racing is not meant to be easy anyone who thinks otherwise are in the wrong game
dal2 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 What about dion the middle Falaise, La forte Bernard(500 tae the solway) and tours?
tiger Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 What about dion the middle Falaise, La forte Bernard(500 tae the solway) and tours? RIGHT on line for the solway
dal2 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 RIGHT on line for the solwayThought Rennes and Nantes were on the RIGHT line for the solway? Surely the middle would be a compromise? After all we have surely now confirmed that you get sh** racing from the East tae?
