JCN Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Sundays half a chance for Ayrshire but would be looking for strong head wind to drop a fair bit... Otherwise me and the doos will be having a holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Its a pity EVERY FED ( in Scotland ) didn't put their heads together and liberate on the same day. This one up-manship is detrimental to the pigeon sport. Feds going on different days trying to outwit each other and wishing the worst on each other is pathetic imo and will be the ruin of the sport in no time.

walterboswell59 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 if the forecast is correct there is no chance of a race saturday or sunday for lanarkshire without risk of a disaster for the birds if one of the torrential showers that are forecast hit the batch the race is over and the season for many fanciers are we really that desperate to win a youngbird race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 and if its right your birds are away for two days for nothing and the chance of catching something in the basket cancel or basket one or two hours later on monday for a tuesday race and give the workers time to get home and sort there birds no need for any fed to be basketting birds at 4 and 5 oclock in races under 100 miles plenty of time to get to the race points no wonder its a dying sport help each other dont hinder ps and you can get a race anyday if your willing to lose birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greigthedoodrysdale Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 a decision has been raised (a good one too) . no race Saturday , if possible Sunday basket am for an afternoon race . failing that hope for Monday with same plan as basket am , race afternoon. It's a working man's sport. 99%of the working population work Mondays. What happened before social media? Birds were basketted Friday and held over if the Saturday was not race weather. This needs brought back in. If the birds are not at the racepoint we won't get a race. Forecast has been wrong too often in recent weeks.
