sapper756 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Now that the SNFC 2011 Old bird program has now been completed; What are the views of the fanciers, on how this went? What, if any changes would you like to see for 2012? Which fancier, do you think excelled over the SNFC Old bird racing? Thank Youhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/scotland.gif Edited July 19, 2011 by sapper756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank YouIMO There were two bad races Marlborough and Messac and both Race points are westerly compared to the rest of the program. I would like to see only one Inland Nat being EASTBOURNE and Dropping one channel Race which would be YPRES for me. Plus i wouldlike to see the Races spaced out as they all run into each other which is very expensive if your trying to go to them all,plus i think the SNFC should pay out the winnings ASAP which would help the Fanciers punt there doos at the next race. Oh and J mcneil Broxburn a super Fancier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing about dropping Ypres is it has been very successful but at the same time, this race should maybe be organised and run by federations/ combines.Let the national run its own channel races,as I feel it has lost its identity a wee bit with all this duplication and other so called nationals taking away some of the birdage. Back to basics, back to what we once were.ps. If you win money in the SNFC you can use it for future races ie. If I win £200 in Marlborough, I dont need money for the next race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissyboy1 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 As stated before, feel the YB National should be flown from around Selby 185miles mark into central belt and have it the week after the last Federation race rather than that week gap.I think the first National should be dropped .
