Guest uphallhen Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 There is a better chance of a national being won in the west if the national race points are out the east.Fanciers in the west need all the advantages they can get as it is a lot more difficult racing into the west. Fed racing has no bearing on that.but they have to brake up the west for us to win s.n.f.c

Fed racing has no bearing on that. got to slightly disagree with you on that point vincy if you lose most of your nat contenders with a fed thats murdering them down the west coast you wont have any left to race and as most know i dont agree with allot of the things the shu have done in the past 1 thing i do was the survey they done regarding the east/west thing they spent thousands of pounds on it and the outcome was not to race the west coast but some fanciers still think they know better and murder their birds down that coast the fanciers that push the west do so on purly selfish grounds as has been stated on this thread for overfly in fed racing
Guest uphallhen Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 matt white won rennes gold cup into paisley in1980 into a north west wind its lanarkshire I AN ON ABOUT ;D

Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 fair point vince you can only go with your experiencies my time down the west was that i could never get a decent team for nat racing most lost before 2yr olds

Guest uphallhen Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 hi boys what do yous think about the racing this yaer.

That's right Stuart it was Leicester,so for me the west thing held no relevance.
hotrod Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 surely u must look at the big picture( small minded)i think it was an east wind that day pushing all the pigeons up the west if this is true then it would eplain the very bad races that day ,what did you say( pushing all the pigeons up the west)YES that would explain it .
Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 surely u must look at the big picture( small minded)i think it was an east wind that day pushing all the pigeons up the west Cant quite remember but as i say no poor excuses were comming from my loft last season.That is just pigeon racing,think a lot of fanciers could have been better served takeing a look at themselfs rather than racepoints.

Guest uphallhen Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 KEEP going east with the fed and no one will ever win the NATIONAL IN THE WEST
Guest bigda Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 to me when there are big loses, i all ways have a thing about this, is army maneuvers or our birds are exposed to the r.a.f on these days, and are fried as i have seen those fighter planes at close hand, when the test pilots take them out to test the noise and the propulsion these things make, and its when it has went past you, it makes yer chest and ribs play a tune, if pigeons come any where near these beasts, it good night as the fumes, must and flames douse the air around the birds, and the possibility it been fuel on the birds must to a extent give the bird no protection through the air and hit a chill factor that will put them down , as we notify the airport of our existence the RAF can use us as invaders and scramble planes we have a metal ring on the birds and it must show up on radar i would think if there are 10,000 birds on the way up the country what do you guys think :-/ and aluminum being 90% of a planes make up
