Large Teams

[victorious]

if they can afford to send 80 against my 6 why not we have this problem in our club every week especially ybs

yes we all have quality and yes they are increasing their chances by sending larger teams

but it costing them 4x the amount to send them

so it takes them 4x longer to recoup there loses so if i win i'm racing fer nowt for 4 weeks

happy times :emoticon-0137-clapping:

thats if we win

jmo folks

The Arabs have had Pigeons for many years Kevin Hurst went out and worked for one of the Kings as his loft manager

If people want to send big teams of pigeons thats their chioce its great for the clubs and feds IMO. I had a big team of babys last year and i hated it,

 

Give me a small team any day Let the big team fanicer pay the way

I WENT TO 3 CHANNEL RACES LAST SEASON WITH THE SNFC SENDING 1 PIGEON TO EACH GOT ON THE RESULT IN 2 RACES (YPRES & TOURS) AND MISSED THE MESSAC RESULT BY 3 HOURS MY POINT IS JUST WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN PIGEONS NOT HOW MANY ANYONE ELSE SENDS AS I DONT CARE ABOUT THEM WHEN MY DOO HITS THE LANDING BOARD :emoticon-0157-sun:

The irish national flying club has a 20 bird limit on all races which is fair this had to be done as some well known fanciers in northern ireland were sending 8o birds to some nationals against joe bloggs 2/4/6 birds i pity some fellow british fanciers trying to race against large numbers naming no names we all no who they are,and before any mentions quality which is bull as everyone has quality nowadays its just greed they want all the cream ,oh how i love to see them get beat by the small fancier, many of these fanciers even have dvds produced now but never mention on them how many they send, come on you mob flyers lets have an equal par.

 

In my opinion it's quality that counts not quantity

THEY CAN SEND .5000 OR.6000. ONLY 1 BIRD CAN WON THE RACE.

[Guest strapper]

the biggest percentage of pigeons in anyones loft will never make the grade compared to a small percentage that will.

 

a person sending 50 birds will have many more hurdles to overcome than someone sending 10.

 

to name just a few would be...

he will have more attacks percentage by hawks!!

he will have provided the nat/fed with finances more than the guy with 10.!!

the food he will have fed prior to the race would have cost him 5 times as much!!

and if he pays for training with someone 5 times as much

 

so in theory the person with a larger amount of birds has it harder.

and as long as he/she pays what he/shes, sending then they have every right to send.

reading this sounds like some one a bit up there self no offence i dont care if the bloke next to me sent 200 birds atleast it keeps my costs down and i have a guy in my club sent 40 ybs i sent 6 and i came 2nd first time every racing ?? so whats the diffence ?

thats fair play but if the guy in your club had to pick 6 out of his 40 agains your 6 bet ya would ov gettn more cards the bigger flyers are gettn bigger and more profesional plus alot are going in to multipule partners i know if a good flyer sends 50 and another good flyer sends 15 my money would always be on the 50 man but the 15 man will get his days tho jmo
