well said jocky thats where we should be west is best

[Guest pigeonboyno1]

To be honest i think the pigeons have hit bad weather at the hills and at 4:30 5 you could see the sun with the clouds i think it could have been low cloud aswell but i could be wrong.

[jocky]

 

no nothing to do with the jump,although maybe not correct. :-/

 

i dont think the jump had much to do with it like a few other feds no answers''''

[nagid]

well said jocky thats where we should be west is best

 

as i have said on a few previous threads racing youngsters west is not the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wullie semple]

 

so it was hawks today then??????

 

you tell me

[jimmywylie]

dont think you can blame controller today. do you think a jump from hexham into wetherby is too much for young birds

 

dont think the jump was the problem.weather was fine,percy might have a say,but lack of communication with other feds ,i think was the main problem9(.i.e lib times.)

[ALF]

I know a lot of our fed members are sending a lot of pm's on here tonight so why are'nt they posting there answers on the site??????? i know a lot of members are'nt happy but why hide it??? If your are'nt happy tell everyone on here and dont hide it :X :X : : : : : : :

i was at ripon up at 8.00 timed at 10 past 1 and 1 out of 8

 

thats the way i see  it, there where 4 feds at ripon and if they

libed in the 8-9 am  against the wind and the lanarshire at 8-45  with the wind the clash is possible add to that the rest of the south  feds heading down would  be  in the mix  scary stuff  and would expect Percy  to  be alarmed  at the  size of the feast :o

[Guest pigeonboyno1]

I had a look on the map of where weatherby is and it is surround by places like leeds there could be transporters sitting near weatherby and they have all collided and the pigeons could of went anywhere http://uk.autold.com/

SO HOW MANY PEOPLE THINK BUDGIE IS DOING A GREAT JOB NOW?????

 

I think Budgie has done a great job this season but as people have quoted on here already that once you go down past Newcastle area it becomes the twilight zone, this mainly because of clashing.

 

You can do a few things to rectify this

1. Once the fed gets to 100 miles approx Newcastle area race pigeons on a Wedensday or Thursday.

2.Or once at 100 mile stage revert back to the west route were there is no clashing.

3. Or act like cowards and run away from having races past 100 miles.

 

Worth noting that even in the old birds from Wakefield and Newark which were perfect racing days that they also got sticky races even in tail winds.

 

I'm sure Andy is hurting more than anyone else at this minute in time because it is nothing more than a burden being a race controller so perhaps For Andy (Budgie's) own sake i would like to see an enquiry held by the federation as we have to get an answer at what happened today and and change what is needing changed for the future whether that be east/west or racing midweek after 100 miles.

[Chris Little]

Here's a thought....... race on a Sunday, you will virtually take out the element of clashing.

 

Did anyone notice the article / map in this weeks BHW of races that were held last Saturday
