Rooster J. Cogburn Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Posted January 27, 2013 OSLO isonly 300miles of water do you think we should have a go lewis :emoticon-0167-beer: Must admit I thought it was mad when I first heard it mentioned on here, but after looking at it and listening to some talk on the subject I think it is possible.Would certainly be an interesting challenge and the winners would be very worthy ones indeed. Not sure its a venture the SNFC would ever entertain,maybe try and attract a bigger audience?? Theres a lot of talk of international racing these days,more Scottish lads getting geared up to try their hand at it and with the interest in a lot of these water races around the Islands in the Meditteranean and the Atlantic,its maybe no as daft an idea as some would like to think
walterbmasson Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 OSLO isonly 300miles of water do you think we should have a go lewis :emoticon-0167-beer: Rab you did see how many was sent 125 birds only there best , oslo is chicken feed ta the Bayo Casablanca race flying across the flat North sea and another benifit would be the birds at oslo would be libbed well above sea level but its an event like oslo that should be held for the gold cup its a bloody national the blue ribbon in scottish pigeon racing ?

Guest bigda Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 when you look at that and then see what we allow and call distance racing they would put the snfc to shame take even the first nat race we only do it for the money shocking and with the amount of money in the bank they still want more why may i ask get your bird into distance racing if you are scared to race over water get them to race over more land and what if its a 2 day race so what if it is for half of the national it is all ready. answer tee hee no balls will come the reply i guess

Its the greatest performance a bird puts up that makes a national , and there will always be sponsors for greatness , but not for ordinary races its a joke yes danny time for change make there doos fly fa oslo or faroe isles and you know there is a true champion goes ta collect there trophy at the top table instead of a ordinary sprinter the i inland national is a joke and them that is sending ta them wants ta be reconised by using the snfc as a means of selling there s***e ?

Walter i couldn't put it it better my self the bus is been driven buy the federation wreckers here the biggest fed in lanarkshire is selling its sole to be taken to a sprint distance race all for the sake of being allowed to duplicate what a way to go yes Oslo should be the order of the day and may i suggest that member that want to fly OSLO approach the national and ask for 10,000 from the kitty to make this race possible after all it is your money they have so get your committee member told of what you are seeking to do
Henrik Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Danny, why dont you put your money where your mouth is and join the National, then you youself could come to a meeting and put your point of view across, but until the 12th of never why dont you just STF up n get on with your races fi Eurocentral which is as far as your birds seem to go, if all reports are to be believed
