chrissyboy Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think there should only be five national races , the proposal for seven races is not in the interest of the club or the average team fancier ,limiting the ability to compete for SNFC averages to a small percentage of fanciers.

IN the up north combine we have 8 nationals, this lets everyone have a go at the nationals, mabe they only race one. you already have 2 national clubs up there, and if you want to bring more people into your club, not shun more away, you need to come into the 21 century stop thinking like dinosaurs and start thinking of the future of the sport.. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinky slitheroe Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 how about 3 o/bird nat. 1st one rennes. then nantes. and then sartilly last race. y/bird nat. cheltenham. that would get the help numbers for distance racing. 2010. Looks ok to me but i think you could have eastbourne in there as an inland derby or nat.Ive said it for years too many unimportant races with not enough birds going to them.Definatley needing to revamp the programme if feds want to duplicate then the last sartilly is there for that.The snfc should get back to basics.

Guest bigda Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Sorry big Da , I only look forward to the inland nationals, and the bird age is high so it can’t be a burden on them , they will make money, my fed is in the central belt and not the biggest but lots of good positions in the inland Nat, and neighbouring ones, it has no impact in the water races, the distance men still go about the job just the same. ;) yes the sprint racing is the best, i agree with you there, but you are throwing your cash away, as the national men will not put up good prize money for yous, at that distance, in fact will not give you any recognition should you win it, the most of the fly boys in the national, try and get the money for the distance races, knowing fine well new starters will never catch up with them, as to having a family of birds at the 500+ races so bigda is here to put you all in the know of your plight before you go to your agm, try and get the 2 inland races prize money, and you will see the slime balls come out the wood work, better still ask the national and get it proposed, at the agm the prize money get linked to the entry 5,000 doos = £5000 300 doos =£300 prize money and as i have heard they all say they are not in it for the money good then why should you join the national and see your cash go to the same 50 guys every year with only some 250 birds at the races but the prize money is the biggest, have a think about it lads all the top men on here and i can call on them all say we don't fly for money ;) so should have no trouble with the vote then bigda as it is heard it here first :) ;D ;D :X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky slitheroe Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Bigda the most prize money is for the Gold Cup race as it should be.Looks like you want a national from 150 miles with megabucks for prizemoney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevie-b Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 i think the inland national is a good idea to generate money some of the stuff that goes on in these nationals is draconian but to many people stuck in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t most guys just pool in the the section and region, cant they just make the prize money to say the first five bird in each section PS as you guess I dont know how prize money works ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterbmasson Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 i think the inland national is a good idea to generate money some of the stuff that goes on in these nationals is draconian but to many people stuck in the past surley stevie you would prefer to fly against fanciers flying the same distance as ourselves what would you prefer to get a sec ticket or first at the distance out of say 1;000 birds because these inland races are just a mickey mouse race which i for one would use that magic word NAT----L ITS A LOAD OF CRAP USE OUR FEDS TO MOVE AHEAD IN OUR SPORT WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW I CAN ASSURE IS DEFINATELY FINISHING NATIONAL EVENTS THERE JUST FOR BIRDS THAT CANT USE THERE BRAINS THAT IS WHY THERE IS LARGE BIRDAGE INSTEAD OF INLAND RACES PUT THEM TO YPRES AT LEAST ITS GOING TO IMPROVE THE BIRDAGE IN THE LONG RUN FOR OUR LONGER[ NATIONAL RACES ] I WOULD RATHER BE STUCK IN THE PAST AND HAVE A NATIONAL THAN A MICKEY MOUSE RACE (evil)(evil)(evil) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning fast Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 surley stevie you would prefer to fly against fanciers flying the same distance as ourselves what would you prefer to get a sec ticket or first at the distance out of say 1;000 birds because these inland races are just a mickey mouse race which i for one would use that magic word NAT----L ITS A LOAD OF CRAP USE OUR FEDS TO MOVE AHEAD IN OUR SPORT WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW I CAN ASSURE IS DEFINATELY FINISHING NATIONAL EVENTS THERE JUST FOR BIRDS THAT CANT USE THERE BRAINS THAT IS WHY THERE IS LARGE BIRDAGE INSTEAD OF INLAND RACES PUT THEM TO YPRES AT LEAST ITS GOING TO IMPROVE THE BIRDAGE IN THE LONG RUN FOR OUR LONGER[ NATIONAL RACES ] I WOULD RATHER BE STUCK IN THE PAST AND HAVE A NATIONAL THAN A MICKEY MOUSE RACE (evil)(evil)(evil) In my club there may be one or two lads who fly all channel races and about 8 who fly the inland ones, these guys wouldent get a chance to race in a national and most younger guys dont want to sit around waiting on birds all day and night . thats why the way it is now is fine , everyone get a chance to race in a national.
