hotrod Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Defo stuartGoing up at 5am would give the guys in north a good chance of getting birds on night ,but waiting till 7am ish only the south guys have a realistic chance on the night .

Delboy Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 With respect gents, ye are talking pi sh. It is a proven fact that a midday -1pm over lib over 550 miles is a fairer race as all birds are out and all are equally fresh in the morning. This takes away a percentage of the fatigue factor and distance kills theory, hence making it slightly fairer for all. Granted, the dream is a doo on the shift from an early lib and that's what we all want BUT fairness isn't present in the doo game.I agree with Stu on the early lib of 5am. Don't think for a minute I want a midday lib but im not 100% against it on this basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) If you are a member of the SNFC read the convoyers report for each race in the year book which gives you a detailed account of when the birds were watered and fed during the journey to the racepoints. The convoyer is meant to be at the Agm to answer any questions regarding the races but he hasn't been in attendance for a few years now and still , nothing is done about it.
