Guest JPH Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Think it was 1982 and you'll find the highest birdage Lanarkshire had at that time or any time for that matter would have been 12,000 Remember reading an article about them in pigeon mag late seventies. may have been someone who won with there black jets, maybe nipa or somthing, long time back, just remember the 30,000 birds bit sticks in your mind

chrissyboy Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 I think in the Lanarkshire you can only compete in your own club , the pigeons appear to come out the back end of the campsie hills ( If the birds where coming direct south the overfly rule would come into play but they are in every week in time before us) our club is Clarkston and Glenmavis and Coatbridge are well in front each week, am not complaining appart from one stinker of a yb race the returns in our club where outstanding in the young bird programme.

Guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Good old fashioned logic starting to come through again on this thread C,mon Robert is there such a thing when it comes to Lanarkshire fed. ;D ;D ;D
Guest bigda Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 dont know why we are worrying about the west now, or the east, as we have just had it confirmed the birds now come out the north, from the nationals and no one times them in from any other direction, think ill have to :otrun my dooket the other way, now on this report ;D
Novice Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 C,mon Robert is there such a thing when it comes to Lanarkshire fed. ;D ;D ;D Actually Vincent I think you and Bigda are the 2 most logical members. Completely different perspectives and kicking with different feet but logical none the less

Tom Corrie JNR tom if you cant beat g macalonie you are the same as 500 members on here but dont cry wolf, if i had my way you would have been in the newmains section and that would be your true possision in the fed, why it did not happen that is another story, and should you got in there, you would have maybe better results, but as for you to say they come out the campsies your are a lot nearer them than the boys from carluke but that dont bother you none there

slinky slitheroe Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 the meeting can change the route if it wishesWas it not voted that the fedgo down the east route as we know it for the next three years.I dont think it will be easy to change that.
jocky Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Was it not voted that the fedgo down the east route as we know it for the next three years.I dont think it will be easy to change that. RULES ARE THERE TO BE CHANGED IF THE VOTE DECIDES IT.
