Snfc Gold Cup

[geordie1234]

For what it's worth I don't think there is a problem with Reims and wouldn't mind going back...Just going with past history when it's a bad race it normally gets changed

 

I do think if we stuck with Reims for a good few years it would start to show in the racing we are getting... Look at the race the SNRPC got a lot of they doos had been there before

For what it is worth, my tuppence says if the birds are not at a race point that is conjunctive to the Cherburg Peninsula then all the French races are subjected to unacceptable returns.

Correct Steven

[bullcock]

What is wrong with Alencon?

[Delboy]

Ypres has been the most successful race on the SNFC calendar for many years and Reims is almost on the same line, so I would go for that, or find somewhere 30 miles shorter on the same line.

Nowt......that's my point

[bullcock]

Yes, that makes sense, but we have had good racing from Alencon.

Sweet FA !! Canna remember a disaster from there ?? Tough aye but if you canna handle that ye shouldn't be flying Doo's at National Level ?

Maybe it should be made a bit easier?

[geordie1234]

I know off a fancier who was looking to propose Roye bt not sure if he is going ahead with it

Imo is that the gold Cup isn't supposed to be easy that's what makes it all the better when you do get a time in

Look at the entries!......look at the entries for the Longest race!.......unless something is done then these races may end up being considered ultra specialist

Kinda agree with you... yes the Gold Cup is never going to be easy...but it needs to be made attracive to the masses...I'll be sending regardless whatever distance it is but if it was for talking sake Roye I think you would see more entries

I understand that but making the race point shorter isn't the answer .

Personnel I think if they upgraded there transporters instead of being in the dark ages for these races the numbers would increase

I doubt the Roye race will even be fi Roye next year Geo, never mind the Gold Cup

[tiger]

Should be about 550 in central belt any shorter and borders will clean it up and the nats up together, jmo

[bullcock]

The Gold Cup and other races 500 miles plus aren't meant to be easy, the birds that score in these races are held in the highest esteem by all of Scotland and the rest of the world, condition, health, fitness, motivation stamina, valour a great heart and mind and a good manager are what it takes to achieve this.

This race is for dreamers and we all dare to dream, 550 miles into the central belt for me, roll on next season.
