dunc50 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Posted February 12, 2017 nope more chance of taking fed tickets with the birds coming more of a straight line into the fed and not dog legging into the fed which they do from the east hope it pans oot like that for them
geordie1234 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Maybe the clever cookies could ask the snfc nicely if they will adjust their programme....plonkers
Guest mambo Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 there is absolutely 0 chance of anyone getting took to court ,, and who could be took to court ??Our first rule of thumb we all force this through and get it called a sport,that way we get all the protection we need then the next stage at £1 per member for a PR to have weekly news strips showing pigeon getting killed and live video shots. a petition signed save our garden birds get racing pigeon shown how good they are with helping the heroes. And charity work done you don't get f/all from cats and dog owner forums. But the rspb make plenty from keeping percey ,as a web cam money puggy

Big Davie Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Have a look at the measurements from the east and west route race points into north Lanarkshire and then work it for yourself, the birds are still likely to dog leg into the Fed, tells its own story Your bang on m8 a live in Coatbridge flew west an east an the birds still come out of airdrie an a give them overfly but for the sake of the birds it's a no brainier to keep the birds on last years route ano we had bad racing an that's down to bop .they have always been down the west an have only accumulated to more so why go ther a get more overfly of my club mates in uddingston wen we go west but a want a bit of safety for birds.pigeons come first jmoCouldn't agree with you more mate' I didn't write my posts in support of going the west route as I'm dead against it, just demonstrating why this has been proposed and pushed through by the Airdrie club, but they've made a complete arrs of it and the whole fed will now have to take the consequences of losses to BOP and the financial losses in birdage due to not going with the SNFC to inland nats, and there will be load of members looking to jump ship so that they can fly an easterly route race programme
geordie1234 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Absolutely ridiculous this has happened the guys that have voted for this haven't done their homework. Forget overfly and all that jazz the pigeons will be absolutely hammered... I've already been contacted about a club im a member of giving the option of going with south lanarkshire the club won't be the only one Could spell the end of the Lanarkshire fed we know off 48k in the bank and transporters bought and paid for...whats the balance going to be like when we have covered these ridiculous races on our own?
Paul Mac 31 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 Alarming reading!!!!!! Very,,, alarming,, of course everyone done their homework before voting or proposing 👀👀I could honestly care less,,, this is not the first time it's been done,,, good birds will always be there or there about, However The best interest of the birds is never the topic ,,,,, that is the main failing factor here.

bullcock Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 This has nothing to do with me but all the comments are from people who are against it, who voted for it and what's your response to all the above concerns? If the west has as many bop as the east then pigeons couldn't have influenced it as most of Scotland has flown the east for years. Or am I wrong?
johnc Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 im not a lanarkshire member im just reading the posts ,can someone explain how one club can propose and push through the race program in a fed the size of lanarkshire fed
geordie1234 Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 George go for another egm and get back down the east then because reading this all your members want to go eastNot interested in it...ive got other options available to me...its not my mess to clean up
