i think it about time the snfc brought in the speicalist to control the races and let the doo men fly the doos then there would be none of the finger pointing from anyone and i always think most doos that are sent are second day doos no matter what the weather is good or bad, congrats to all those who timed in from a very diifficult race - WD  ;D

the snfc has poor race controllers. they need 2 step down after such a bad race. the new snrpc have far better race controllers

 

 

Some statement to make wi the Wanstead Flats fiasco still being fresh in peoples minds :-/

 

Being such an expert, maybe you should apply for the job!!

[Guest IB]

I don't think it helps trying to pin blame on anyone - that solves / explains nothing, but I expect SNFC will hold an enquiry into what went wrong. There is a horrendous number of pigeons missing - thousands when you include UNC - what caused these losses?

[budgie]

What percentage do you believe is missing.I reckon it could be as high as 80%.You can have all the enquires you like it wont bring back the pigeons.

[Novice]

The race control team can only do their best with the hand they are dealt.

There are weekends when we all know that the race is likely to be a poor one but we continue to send.

The solution lies in the constitution of the clubs. They must have a more flexible approach to give the race controller and ultimately the birds a fighting chance.

How quickly would any of us run 100 yards after being shut in a telephone box for 5 days

subjected to high temperatures, fighting for water and having the incorrect food offered to us.

Always during Wimbledon there is a significant threat of thunder. We should work round this.

I have 2-4 Andy but I know alot of cracking doos to come.Tam Patersons hen Kate going for Gold Award not home yet.

[alec guinness]

we are all race controllers,if you dont fancy the weather dont send,blaming the control team is not the answer every 3 or 4 years we get a race like this,check the history of the gold cup very few easy races, still hopeing the doos will turn up. :)

Thats when the scale of the disaster hits home, when you here of the likes of Fastline & Kate and other great pigeons still wanting.

  The pigeon of Tam Patersons ( Kate) was actually away trying to win her gold award based on the gold cup races as she has been on the result the last four years. Quality bird!!

[Guest stevie-b]

[Delboy]

 

Aye Derek,

Fastline no hame either, going for gold award :o

 

Torture m8, fingers crossed these  good doos work in.

[hotrod]

one bit of hope is what happened to jim benvie last year with kingdom boy, lost him, only for him to turn up a week or two later, so hopefully these great pigeons and more will  turn up soon cheers stuart

[aye ready]

although i wouldn't blame the race controllers  i myself after going thru various weather websites thot that we wouldn't get a lib till at least sunday.it was well documented on here this site by various fanciers that they were of the same thinking,but there were other libs from france and the south coast that day so there must have been bad weather that nobody could forsee,hoping all you lads/lassies get your birds

[dkj]

its the worst race since the rennes smash and we all no it look at the returns 2 home from 5

[aye ready]

how many birdswere timed in davie

[slinky slitheroe]

its the worst race since the rennes smash and we all no it look at the returns 2 home from 5

Terrible race terrible returns a lottery.Some will say but so and so timed there fanciedpigeon so what that race is full of fancied pigeons its going to happen to some lucky fancier istill say the race was a shambles. A LOTTERY  last year there was about two hours between the first and the last in the west section i think that says it all.
