cemetary Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Just now with the losses that are getting talked about training, it has to be the correct decision to be made, weather can cause a lot of bother, in my eyes, good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Birds better of in there own loft than in a pannier I agree with this but I do believe these decisions have been made hastily.I would put a few quid on the west section feds getting up tomorrow.The weather looks ok from 10 am - 4pm on the east coast imo :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novice Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 about time they were forgeting bout weather forcasts been talk of cancelling since tuesday. Another weekend wasted :B :B Looks like a correct decision to me. The weekend is only wasted if we throw away youngsters as has happened so often. Our transporter leaves tonight for the race point but most of mine are at home---my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novice Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good choice Novice, we didn't send any tonight. I think many fanciers thought like that. There's always next week. I took the chance and sent them all last week so there is time for them yet. I assume you will enjoy some retail therapy tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stb Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Which one was that????????bbc weather edinburgh and borders, sat 10am sunshine occasional light shower until 4pm themn shuts in . sunday rain all day, thats what it says, But hey different sites different forecasts, :-/ :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Play Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 That seems to be the problem,no two sites are the same - The weather channel shows wall to wall rain Sat & Sun.Just like today it was glorious this morning then rain,rain & more rain Like to give the y/b the best chance as the feathers are starting to fall and not as tight and waterproof as they should be.Rather have them back than a medal or all back and the medal. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast I use says grim again tomorrow but a great day on Sunday, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand if you basket on sat and sunday turns out crap your worse of as they cant race and are in a situation that you cant do anything about.

I'm a believer in "you always basket on a friday" as if the doos are at the racepoint they can go as i think they will the morra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
