Disregard For Birds And Flyers

[nisbetx]

i dont know what should have happened and that the race controller has a difficult decision to make, but to lib at 12 noon from leicester

means the north fed has no chance of getting a bird home tonite and we all know expected weather tomorrow. huge losses expected, not fair on birds or flyers fae the north. complete sympathy from me. its been such a difficult year for all,for various reasons without us making it worse. ive no doubt there will be several who disagree with me espcially fae south and central feds but carrying on like this we will be lucky if we have enough people flying in 10 years to warrant racing except one loft syndicates

A very hard decision the race controllers have had to make today, takes guts to liberate at 12.00, as the easiest thing to do when your a race controller is to say "Holdover" Going to be a tough race for all, especially guys in North and West. Lets hope it fairs better than some of us are predicting. ATB

Our race controller had a tough morning, it was all on here to see the comments from a fancier in Leicester with regards to it raining at Leicester earlier.

 

It going to be hard day for everyone especially the guys in the North section whom I've a lot of respect for

 

As for the heading implying disregard for birds and fanciers is a pathetic one..... form an orderly queue guys for those wanting to be race controller

chris the shortest flyer in the north will be 320mls that's Aberdeen last night it was dark up here at 7-45 these birds have no chance the further out landing districts have even less chance the bulk of the birds will not make home in the west or other sects no wonder guys get pished off they should never have been up

[DJL]

They were stuck between a rock and a hard place today I`m afraid. There are 72 birds away from my club. Hopefully a few will make it tonight at 288 miles. Good luck to all.
