eastcoaster Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Still missing my wee hen will still be checking her nest box for months , I was so sure she would make it .
stevie bannon Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Would you have liberated today? Or yesterday? Or when?id have went yesterday as did most
JohnQuinn Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 That liberation was a RESIGNING decision. 19 NINEF**KINTEEN organisations waiting for a race and 1 ONE!!! went and lost the birds that were put in THEIR CARE to get a race. We DID NOT get a race and the men who decided they were Smarter than all those other controllers should step down because they're no fit to do the job.
JADE Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Would you have liberated today? Or yesterday? Or when?id have went yesterday as did most You said earlier Friday was a better day. Make your mind up. SNRPC held yesterday. UNC struggled out of Eastbourne. And you seem to be having a go at the SNFC committee. It was the controllers decision to liberate and I`m sure they had doos on the transporter.
johnc Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 so what your saying john is the guy that wins the gold cup and all the section winners didnt deserve it because it wasnt a real race
gordi.b Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Flexibility is whats needed, if the birds were on site and a thursday lib was the better option then so be it.
Delboy Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 so what your saying john is the guy that wins the gold cup and all the section winners didnt deserve it because it wasnt a real race Don't think hes saying that, hes stating the fact it was a crazy decision to lib when everyone could see the weather forecast was hellish. The winning pigeons would've still won, that goes without saying but other pigeons would've made it home if the controlling was better AND THAT ALSO, GOES WITHOUT SAYING. Flexibility is whats needed, if the birds were on site and a thursday lib was the better option then so be it. Exactly
novo10 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 people are sendind theyre best pigeons to the gold cup and for birds to be looked after and one thing for sure john McCord looks after them but the controllers let us all down by liberating our pigeons with hardly a chance to get by the south coast of England yes you will get some that will come through the thunderstorms but not all of them and its not sour grapes as we timed and well done to everybody that did time the controllers should have a good look at themselfs

Flat out Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Flexibility is whats needed, if the birds were on site and a thursday lib was the better option then so be it.The birds was not on site on Wednesday nite we were 3 hrs approx from lib site
johnc Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 going by the drivers post they arrived on site thursday 10.30 so no chance of race on that day
JADE Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 A club the size of the SNFC cant just make up rules on a whim. But reading all the expert opinions on here I look forward to a proposal at the AGM to introduce flexibility regarding races so that something is in place for next year.
Guest stb- Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 going by the drivers post they arrived on site thursday 10.30 so no chance of race on that dayhe just said 3 hours from lib sitre on wednesday night thats 3am in morning not 10.30 am id it not ??
novo10 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 going by the drivers post they arrived on site thursday 10.30 so no chance of race on that daythe pigeons could have been at racepoint for a race on Thursday if need be
johnc Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 The gold cup birds arrived on site at alancon this morning at 10:30Been a good trip so far just lost an hr with road works in France yesterday Weather is great not to warm with a light south east wind on site transporter parked in shade under trees birds are drinking well and settled we will start to feed at 4:30 and change the water Just hope the weather is good for a race sooner rather than later Yours in sport j McCord
peter pandy Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 A lib was possible and offered by convoyers on THURSDAY but the Officials declined! Maybe the halls weren't booked for clock checking a day early!! Well I am shocked at your post and have to wonder where it came from ?. I suggest you go back to Page 2 Post 22 from the Convoyer who you say was willing to liberate the day he arrived at Alencon "Thursday" yet was not willing to liberate from Buckingham "Friday" when the arrival times were the same. This scenario reminds me of past performances by truckers who had to liberate on Sundays as the truck was required for contract work on the Monday. We should remember they are business men first and foremost and at all times business before pleasure.
novo10 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 ur nuts if they could have had a race Thursday they would have been on site
JohnQuinn Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Yes John, it states 10.30 but IF NEED BE they could have been there in the early hours.

johnc Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 well im just happy for the member jake pearson of my small club who sent to the biggest race of the year and timed next morning, flying into section f is hard enough but to time in the gold cup is some thing else so it dosent matter what anybody says it was a great race for him
