Talking to 4 different guys in England and theyre all saying the same the pigeons should not have been liberated on saturday it was dull and overcast and cold and not good to race in and further up country the pigeons hit a band of rain going from east to west so why did we go so before anybody comes on here and says anything check with anybody they know in England about weather on Saturday fact

[greenbar]

Certainly looks to me as if the birds have been stopped by weather

I heard the exact same from several sources Del

[BLACK W F]

wonder y the Yorkshire middle route did not lib at Billericay until 13-00 hrs and wonder y UNC PUT BASKETING BACK FOR peterboro 24hrs

[Delboy]

So what we are saying is the SNRPC, LANARKSHIRE FED,SNFC, NORTH OF SCOTLAND and ABERDEEN FED all got it wrong. If that is the case, and it definitely looks like it, then we must get some professional controlling help in these longer races. Im sure the controllers tried their best as they would've had birds in the convoy but if one liberates and the next thinks its ok to liberate because the other organisation did then its a knock on effect, basically everybody gets hammered. These two inland nationals have to go imo, too many good doos being lost in these races.

Yorkshire weren't even at Billiericay when Lanarkshire and the snrpc went up so they couldn't have went if they wanted

food for thought Derek think if u look at UNC vel for peterboro 1500s plus Royne 1300-1400s does that not tell its own story sunday race and very good returns

[stevie]

Snfc was ment to be for races over. 500ml no inland races they should leve it to Feds

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Human decisions, and the fact that they can not agree on anything is having a real adverse effect on the demise of our one great sport. it is surely accelerating the end. A good club member sums it all up best when he says "Its just not fun anymore"Said it and heard it all before but it needs a change from top to bottom even if its to last a further 10 years this change has be required and ignored by whole generation of Pigeon men.Could someone publish numbers of pigeons and loft concerned say 20/30 years ago. this should be done by those at the top.but guess what they cant agree on anything either so it stays the same. I am in the process of giving them up for the second time in 10 years. Ill keep a few doos round the back. I do this in the hope that things may change.

More negative talk, get on with it and enjoy what we have. All this sh ite about the sport finishing, negative, negative, negative. Lets f kin deal with the problems weve got and move on. Its as simple as that. The sport could be sorted in one weekend but too many idiots in it to let it happen.

Absolutely correct mate, fanciers say the games *expletive removed*. We're beat before we even start

So does that make it right and we just have to accept it without question :emoticon-0179-headbang: :emoticon-0179-headbang: :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Problem is when someone ask's a question the usual answer is "Well you take the job on"

Perhaps there is a more appropriate means of questioning decisions available and, perhaps the logic and weather reports used by controllers should be available for all to see. That remark would apply to every organisation.

Having said I am more than certain that all controllers try to ensure good racing under very difficult conditions.

put a letter in asking. and then the committee will have to deal with it. and let us no that went wrong. mind everybody got hammered on saturday. i agree with del we need professional controlling help.

[peter pandy]

These inland Nationals races used to be run successfully by Federations and the club result was usually over in an hour with the Fed in 30 minutes. This has all changed since the SNFC introduced a money making venture to the detriment of what it once stood for and changed the object of its foundation..

Just what I was thinking. Nobody said a cheep about the weather on Saturday. We were all expecting a good steady race. If the snfc had held over on Saturday they would have been slagged off to hell and back on here.
