JohnQuinn Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Our club was informed that the vote will only be East or West , no race programm proposals were asked for.Should be quick meeting. Don't know who told you this Charlie but its wrong, the race program will be decided on Saturday regardless of route

Hi FrankNova 10 never says a lot about the Midlands returnsbut the midlands y/bs this year had 1 race beyondAppleby there open race from Charnock Richardsthe birdage was 323 birds that wasn't a clubit was the whole fedSo where did all the birds go from therefantastic racing down the westCheersHomer 49
frank-123 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 100%, honest well i have still to see a midland member post on here what there returns were like
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 well i have still to see a midland member post on here what there returns were likeMaybe they don't have the internet over in their neck of the woods.lol Did speak to a couple of guys at the marking for the young bird national and one of them told me that he had 26 left from 32 whislt racing down the west with the Midland.
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Hi FrankNova 10 never says a lot about the Midlands returnsbut the midlands y/bs this year had 1 race beyondAppleby there open race from Charnock Richardsthe birdage was 323 birds that wasn't a clubit was the whole fedSo where did all the birds go from therefantastic racing down the westCheersHomer 49Midland are a small fed, they started of with roughly 1600 birds at the first race, but truth be told Lanarkshire didn't fair too well either when you consider that they had over 7000 birds at one race but at the longest race marking they only got just over 2000 birds?
WEENANN1 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 i dont often post on here but i feel i must say something.big gareth and king billy were asked by delboy to go with the midland fed down the west with their ybs.i doubt they went because they wouldnt be getting the coverage of birds the lanarkshire fed convoy would give them.you know you would get hammered with midland. why do you want to go west when the racing and returns have been good down the east its just to try and get an even bigger advantage than you already have,think about others and the pigeons for a change. i dont remember any disasters this year except messac which im delighted to have got one.so wheres all the losses you talk about king billy.time to look in mirrors to get your red club cards yous are desperate for
tyson Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 you say there were no losses down the east side I will give you some examples pentland fed thirsk yb lots of birds missing lanarkshire hexam yb poor returns s/lanarkshire ridsdale more than half the convoy missing glasgow otterburn poor returns also I think witton castle was also a bad race for them ayrshire/ballochmile also took hammerings on the east side so dont say there werent losses on the east side I think some feds have had there worst seasons ever down the east side and it just keep going on something has to change and I think it has to be the route
Novice Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Ayrshire Federation Morpeth a mere 120 miles a disaster with approximately 50% losses.The problem racing from the east happens when all the federations are in the same area liberating in one small window.There are 7 days in a week we need to think about staggering our races over that week or even alternate days for North and South roaders.
