sapper756 Posted July 19, 2011 Report 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
lanarkshire lad Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 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? Which fancier, do you think excelled over the SNFC Old bird racing? 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.

Oh and J mcneil Broxburn a super Fancier. Ill second that Jim. 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

Oh and J mcneil Broxburn a super Fancier.i dont think the snfc should have any inland nats and should start at the 500mile mark must agree with lan/lad that pools are to slow at paying out and j.mc neil should get the plaudits he so richly deserves another great season for him atb
novo10 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 marlborough bad one not be cos it was 2 west eastbourne 2 late a lib returns better messac bad one yet again not cos 2 far west ypres best race of season clermont good race imo what about trying races out of belgium for season 2012
WulDon Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 knock first inlsand national on the head... have your gold cup from clermont, the federation duplication from ypres, keep eastbourne, longest channel race messac (or similar), yb national status quo... W.Gray & Son, Coldstream had a great season amongst other good flyers
Guest stevie-b Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 my programme would be eastbourne reims ypres tours falaise and leicester yb and my m8 john duthie very good performances again 4th and 7th open in last 2 races outstanding flyer who has been oustanding at fed level too
chrissyboy1 Posted July 19, 2011 Report 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 .
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 Few top performers over the course of the races-W.Gray and Son,B.W Kelly,John Duthie,John McNeill,Andy Millar,John Bosworth,Davy Elliot,Crombie and Mechan amongst many others
