Blue Tooner Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Well done to all the above mentioned fanciers on their great performances, fantastic. I would also like to congratulate Jakie Ritchie, Inverallochy on winning 1st region G, 20th open at 352 miles. Jakie almost won this race in 2005 winning 1st region G, 4th open from Cheltenham, 396 miles and not far away again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rednyellow Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 just about 2 weeks since the ybn,anyone having missing birds turn up? which organisation had better returns snfc or snrpc? do fanciers of the snfc feel the delayed liberation was correct and also fair? just a few points that hopefully will be of interest!!

Sent 4 got 2 on the night and 2 next morning. My only other comment is on delayed liberation: don't believe anything could be done to avoid that as it was due to the weather conditions that day.

Chris Little Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 We never sent to either race, however, after speaking to fanciers from both clubs I can sense the SNRPC race shaded it in terms of returns. Perhaps a day less in the basket and a superior transporter tells the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank-123 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 don't think you can say that chriss the result's speaks more than the returns 114 bird's had a better vel than the snrpc winner thats with poor baskets/transporter and one more day in the basket don't like to disagree to much with a good bluenose but this time i will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Little Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 No worries Bart, the world would be a boring place if everyone agreed with one another. I was speaking in terms of returns and not the result which clearly shows the SNFC birds romped it, perhaps the larger convoy attributed to this. In this day and age, the young bird question isn't so much 'what time you are in' its 'how many have you home' Cheers A fellow Bluenose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budgie Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 We have 9-13 and my only dissapointment was the late liberation.The decision should have been to liberate around the 10.00am mark to ensure all fanciers had a fair crack of the whip and in particular the West of Scotland.It worked fine in Alencon being liberated Mid Day which gave everbody a fair chance and the result proves same. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
