my prediction is they will go at about 1pm on sunday.. maybe be 2pm.. but we do find we always struggle with a late liberation..

 

have a good race

Flighty, you just keep rubbing on the sun tan oil  

[Guest strapper]

i just hope now the races aint pushed further on again..and only leave one comeback.

[pjc]

we've only got 1 comeback after Lillers!

[chichichi]

lol,, 1 comeback ,, we have 20 later bred ones here and they are now having 1 race instead of 3,, south looking a better option for next year.. we'll see..

 

goodluck to the members sending tomorrow.. fingers crossed we get a race on sunday,, and its a good one,, gambling with young ones isn't on.. lovely weather tomorrow..

 

goodluck

Any lib after sunday, winners could be in the north.

[pjc]

might join you on the south rd!

[Guest strapper]

welsh north road 2 comebacks... newbury after lilliers.

[chichichi]

strapper we all got a race after lillers,, we have swindon,, but you must have 2 after lillers.. bit late I think for the young birds.. there should have been comeback in between every national.. that way any injured birds could have gone and also latebred will have had races earlier in the season.. I will predict that the winner will be in bargoed,, wind south at race point and only south west when into wales.. north wales need south west all the way to have a great advantage,,

 

I expect a lib on sunday.. but some empty perches due to thunder

[pjc]

Good luck, think you may need it!

[chichichi]

phil we got 45 to send,, all darkness and bouncing,, but will only send about 15 to 20.. lets hope they have a chance to get home .. these birds will be kept for lillers or eastbourne on the south then.. the rest will get ramsgate and swindon..

 

fingers crossed for a bit of freak wind to get rid of the weather as early as possible on sunday,,

The youngbird programme is poor this year, it hasn't given anybody the chance to get latter birds or injured birds back into the programme.

[Guest strapper]

if i had a large team of oldbirds left i would have got rid of my youngbirds ..but have to soldier on and race the last two comebacks..not much experience but ive no choice.

[chichichi]

update on the weather for sunday,, its now looking better for maidstone,, but the birds will hit thundery shower on the way home,, I now expect an early liberation,, but get your brollies  out for the clocking,,

 

sunday 10am,,

 

 

sunday 1pm.

 

 

sunday 4pm

 

 

looks like the gamble might have paid off.. but with thunder on route who knows..

 

goodluck

[flighty hen]

Thursday race then!

 

Flighty, you just keep rubbing on the sun tan oil  

 

Oh no problem, I'll be doing that sooner than you think, approx 4 weeks,

[chichichi]

right then update on weather,, the rain has come later than expected.. so I expect for an early lib,, but the birds will get very wet at the home end..

 

goodluck
