LIBERATIONS Sunday 19th August

[john robo]

Liverpool Amal. Bloody disgrace! We were supposed to be at Fareham, then brought back to Frome, and finally libbed at Hereford at 16.30. Pigeons homing in very  overcast conditions, just before seven. What has happenned to holdovers these days? I have heard that  we can't use OUR OWN TRANSPORTER during working week days, because the work unit is hired out! What a state of affairs.The Knowsley crowd have certainly buried the Amal now. This is not sour grapes because of losses, in fact I got 43/44 from two clubs, but to have birds arriving home  just before darkness is a disgrace to the present  Amal set-up. ARE HOLDOVERS A THING OF THE PAST? AS I PREVIOUSLY REMARKED. > >

 

what time are the birds in the midweek liberated.

if it was a holdover when would they next lib the birds. i dont get home from work till after 5.30pm.

good race considering the conditions most in the kirkby had 100% returns including me  ;D

nice to see you on the amal sheet 39th, 1st this yb season. i was just above you 33rd, my 1st also. am always at the bottom of our club sheet. hard competition in the kirkby but i beat you

Robo, Big Deal! Considering some of the Kirkby "big boys" couldn,t win a carrot whilst racing around here, before moving east.When one races into Liverpool against alll the Knowsley cracks, Who bothers to look at forgone conclusions?        

Let's see how many beat me from  the Guernsey NFC YB national.  ;D ;D ;D
