harryhoofter Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 no a think we are missing the big picture here ,its all about taking us for every penny we have got ,the less losses they have the more youngins they will have for next weeks open ,gone are the days when they put the fancier first,now its all about how much money can they make of us gullible lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I cant agree with the above statement,some of the finest distance fanciers never race their young birds and i would of thought that they would still breed of them as yearlings,also what about people who breed latebreds and put them straight in the stock loft the following year they have never been trained let alone raced.

frank-123 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Lanarkshire will be basketing on Friday as usual if this changes I will post what is happening Jim Hannah has been given full control of moving birds where and when Cheers Homer 49 like to think he has had full control since he took the job nobody apart from you and him should decide what time the birds go or if the weather is inclement then we should be brought back only on the controllers say so but if we are brought back what about another race from otterburn before tow law? midweek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigda Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 quite agree with that, bart, birds first, race second, distance third, open fourth,then extra race if needed,if fed delegates can decide they should consider this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 your one is in the race basket Robert Hi Harry good to see that. The hawk had it's father---that's the only explanation for a stock cock missing in August. Ayrshire not basketing Friday will update tomorrow.

frank-123 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 if there is no facilities at the race point there should be water for the birds and toilets for the drivers if not we should not be there hexham????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank-123 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 at the race programme meeting hopefully lanarkshire fed delegates or offcails can have a race programme laid out that is suitable for both drivers and birds people shouting place's to go with no idea if the transporters can get in or water/toilets are available ok saying its an rpra site but if its no good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednyellow Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 if thay are not bread 4 the 507 mi it dosent mater how u school them yes got too agree with your point with regards breeding but will disagree with your logic about schooling, "king billy" at least now the lanarkshire convoy has gained some experience hopefully standing them in good stead over the next few weeks which will definately be testing!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
