Derek cast yer mind back to last weekend? Got sunburn waiting for them in a light nor west, was it a snashin race? Falling in from 230 mile? No.

We could have raced today and copped a minger? Where would we be then?

 

 

The obvious would have been to delay?

Listen I never said I would liberate the birds after two hours. Stuart stated four hours was the norm just wondered who came up with four hours and if it was a provan fact on the birds performance sitting for four hours compared to two.

Frank you've seen me I couldn't run down the street but I did cycle 26 mile on Tuesday after I drove a taxi all day does that count??

Frank

 

No it does not count because you would have been in your bed sleeping all night the night before, just like the doos I will bet if you had been wakened all night and then faced a 26 mile bike ride first thing in the morning you wouldn't have been so keen or would not have performed to your normal potential, for me it makes absolute sense to give the birds at least 4 hours rest before liberating especially at distances of 200ml plus, JMO

Wer not talking about you or me derek but the pigeons as a whole! You know as well as me that returns wer patchy for most, including me, last sat on an excellent day weather wise on paper??

Lets just see what happens, less days in the basket always better but not always poss

Stevie, theres always the unexplainable but all im saying is that we should only do the very best for the doos,and nothing else. Benefit the pigeons and not anyone else!!!

[frank-123]

Just trying to get some debate otherwise it's boring. Just like most things in pigeons because things have been done a certain way for a long time doesn't mean it is the correct way.

Four hours obviously

[ALF]

Well looking at the time the North section basketted yesterday and they might have left the station at approx 1.30 pm yesterday and going on what John McCord posted about the time it took the transporter to get to the race point if i was a north section fancier i would be looking for a lot more than 4 hrs rest if my doos had been on the road for approx 24hrs although time would have been taken out to water them but no chance 4hrs would have been long enough for them in my opinion ...

[robbiedoo.]

my convoyer rulebook clearly states that birds must be rested after travelling a distance for no less than four hours.

 

 

Thank you dave

We're they awake the whole journey? Just when I went training with my doos they eventually settled down in the basket and you never heard them. As soon as you stopped they came alive.

Del there are guys up here that send there doos down to the NFC races and they will be the same but more probably spend a lot more time in the basket...

[frank-123]

Sorry I don't know I was only guessing can I get the wine gums anyway.

[Delboy]

Well said Alan I was only starting like yersel I think the minumin the doos have to be at the race point is 4 hours . Has anybody ever noticed that we live in the Stone Age and as soon as there is change they crawl back in to their stone . Guys time changes pigeon racing is a lot different now adays compared to the old railway line days regardless of what we think we have to move with the times or stay in the way we are now . Regardless of what we do we have always to put the welfare of the doos in transit at the foremost cause if it was,nt for them most would,nt be on here moaning year in year out JMO
