jimbhoy29 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 hope they all come home. were due a good race with good returns
ALF Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 Not long up from the loft and i've decided i'm sending 4. 2 cocks and 2 hens but i'll make my mind up for sure tomorrow after handling them all again
jock3 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 100% accurate there was a transit van used. maybe the snrpc had used the same you could have had a better race
JADE Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 To Novice and SNFC members. Because of the huge entry into Newbury three 7.5 tonne vehicles were used and once these were loaded to capacity there was 7 baskets extra, to combat this problem a relief vehicle was used - not a van as the tittle tattlers and the political point scorers have quoted but a pick up truck that is the same as any other transporter with Racking for 32 baskets, fibreglass roof, drinkers that run the full length of the vehicle. The pigeons that were on this vehicle were from the South section to which they had outstanding race and returns inc 100 positions within the first 300 open positions. Gareth well said gareth. at last someone you can trust to give the truth in language we can understand instead of the rubbish from those who talk in riddles just to try and stir up trouble and is now trying to justify his garbage
hotrod Posted June 17, 2009 Report Posted June 17, 2009 i never thought for a moment that the snfc would have sent birds to a race in a transit ,no chance . thanx to gareth for setting this straight . ps would it have been kenny youngs wee transporter ? we have raced from that once or twice .
b.massey Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Think your right hotrod... I never heard anything about a transit being used but did hear that some went on Ballochmyles transporter which would be Kenny Young
blaz Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 3 cocks Mate... You with national yeah? yes are you

Ballochmyle and Midland I think both built in the same yard.
shotgun tim Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 ask shotgun tim if he preferred the transit van or the air condtioned shiny new transporter ;D tranny van for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
