do you know why Alf, all the top flying  distance fliers are all gob shites, and don't work that way, what  they do is  send to steal  prize money  20 birds  at 50p max can steel  Â£800 from the national,  to pay for there hobby,  plus sell birds   to round it of for the year  to amount to   £5,000    a wee question for you  how Manny national  winning  guys ,  have  paid for doos

there are none that i know of  and would be very surprised if you could name  any

A good question kicked off by Alf which has created a hearty debate

 

However, to look at his question in another way.... how many fanciers pool in the Open???

 

I am gobsmacked at the number of fanciers who feature high up in the national results that dont pool in the Open.... what are they afraid of ??) ??)

As history has shown Chris it is not a good gamble for the guys in the west, would rather gamble that open money on a pigeon within section or region, can see though why you boys in the South would want to encourage us boys in the west :P

Tried every race in the SNFC programme for the first time in 2009. What I did notice in 09 race results, apart that is   from my name not being in most of them   was the high proportion of Open pools won by South Section. Not been long enough in club to know if that is normal. Another factor was the seemingly more difficult conditions racing into Central Belt & North of Tay where many more managed it on the night into the South Section, I think you yourself posted on here on certain racedays that you'd heard of many timing more than one in your own Section, and not on Lib-Line, while hereabouts at least pigeons were scarcer than hens teeth. So unless the birds are 'on song' an Open bet for fanciers in any of the other Sections, is, with respect, in my own opinion, a fool's bet, as you've a better chance of greater return using that money pooling in your own Section & Region.

Aint trying to kid anyone.... far from it, every national result you and I see there is always a handfull of excellent birds that haven't been pooled in the Open yet had they been they would have earned more coin.....

 

However.... must admit I am a relatively light pooler,  we only race for the sheer enjoyment of our sport. Willie Hills in Annan on a Saturday afternoon give me far better returns for ma money ;D ;D ;D

Chris,

The South Section is very poor at pooling in their own section, with hardly any £20 poolers in all the SNFC races in 2009, also the National pools in Open competition is a poor gamble, as in years gone by, although I do appreciate there is less birds competing.
