Good to get them working in m8.I think the likes of the distance races nowadays in Scotland ( Niort ), if there isnt 10% of the pigeons timed in then the race should go until there is or as other organisations do, 200ypm .Nothing worse than not enough pigeons to take the prizes.

i think it should stay the same if a pigeon is doing less than 400ypm it is homing not racing

lol, so Jock Alstons doo that won the west section is a homer doing 404ypm.ps. Its homing pigeons we ve got, they try and get home as quick as possible.lol

I agree there should be some way of accomodating disasters like this race. How unlucky if someone had got a doo doing 399.99 velocity and it doesnt make the result. And homers they may be but they did get home. Plenty dont!

well done to john alston he can be proud of his birds effort but there has to be a stopping point and i think 400ypm is fine there is no one more pleased than me to see a late one home to fight another day long distance racing is about a pigeon with speed and stamina combined and scotland has these pigeons lowering ypm would be lowering the standard that the scottish long distance pigeons have achieved for many years

i had 4 at cheltenham which we all know was a washout

2 of my birds made it home the next day in the afternoon

but both under 400 ypm the 1st one only by a couple of yards

my other 2 returned in the next few days

ok they didnt make the snfc result but missed out on fed positions and club ones

which i was dissapointed in after the effort they put in

Ive to laugh at this, the SNRPC put almost every pigeon on the result and you put this post up.lol.Obviouly your not thinking about it, the chances of 200ypm ever coming into play in the SNFC are very remote BUT Niort was one of those unfortunate races that it could have applied.Common sense here, but that isnt in abundance in the pigeon sport.

[dms5686]

well done to all the people who timed in niort/fontenay all superb pigeons and superb fanciers well done

[Delboy]

I see the SNFC 1968 Tours race with 1353 birds away finished at 300ypm.Stokes of Carstairs got last position at 302ypm.I believe there were 16 birds in race time.The last 3 years in the SNFC longest races, Bourges, Messac and Niort , on each occasion all the prizes were not won because of the 400ypm rule.Think its time for a change.

Yes yer right derick STOP that longest event when the sprinters in peterhead cant get them at a mere 776 miles time to call time on this massive convoy of 200 birds bumming lifts to get ta the fecking race point , And there was a lot on here saying OSLO would be crazy how many gets home from this fiasco every year answers on a post card please???

Got my single candidate home 1530 today. She's a 2 y-o first time across the channel. Over the moon to see her and she's certainly happy to be here too.

[blucock]

Think there has to be a limit. You could get a pigeon reported and drive to pick it up after the 3rd day.... what happens then? It could conceivably in a race like Niort win hundreds of pounds in pools??

Great feeling. Well done your pigeon

Jeez, that could happen at any race over 400 miles.The SNFC are the only organisation that stops at 400ypm, most are 200ypm and some even lower.
