DJWa Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 As it turned out maybe not so premature after all true john but as you posted only 45 minutes after he timed there was still at least 2 hours in which someone could of timed flying further and won well done all who timed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I see Stevie Ferguson had 2 in the result, pity he hadn't phoned them in , its only right in the longest race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williedoo Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 In the North Section i personally think this is far to far for a pigeon to race home.700 mies in race time to me is wishful thinking and it has been proven in theAberdeen Fed that 9 times out of 10 the trophy for this race is not won.I don't think fanciers from the North send their best birds to this race Knowing it is likely they won't get them but they send anyway Can i ask why?

geordie1234 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think it would be an idea to finish the season with an inland national same day as falaise or instead jmho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't send your best doos then you wont get them, you've answered your own question. Barcelona is the biggest and best race in the world, the birds fly up to 750 miles and the fanciers send only there best birds to this event.Barcelona winners are the most valuable pigeons on the planet.

Guest mambo Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I think it would be an idea to finish the season with an inland national same day as falaise or instead jmhoI good George, your wanting to clean them out all together, the time is about ripe for all Scottish birds to race from the same race points flying into Scotland and finding race tracks that are big enough to accommodate all transportation one up all up simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williedoo Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 You are right Del, bit i think if you are not sending your best birds to this kind of race ( which i think is the case) then give the birds a break and don't send at all.

dal2 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I got my 5yr old gen reported in Bristol.

Aye Willie, ye canny fk about with these races sending inferior doos and thinking youll get them lol, its the opposite strategy that should apply. I had another away for its chance to win a Silver Award, hed scored twice at Ancenis but this pigeon was probably my best racing cock at most distances, hes not home yet but hope he returns, it shows ye canny demand anything from the extreme distance races .

Derek my good mate stevie sits down at his lofts he does not own a mobile wouldn't even want to be shown how to work one He enjoys sitting at his lofts not knowing if he's first or last until the clocks open that's the way he likes it ,and after the debacle of a few years ago perhaps we would all be better doing the same Atb At Falaise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnQuinn Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 true john but as you posted only 45 minutes after he timed there was still at least 2 hours in which someone could of timed flying further and won well done all who timed Only a wee jest, ye were right it was way early tae call but the way it was shaping a didnae think there could be any further north of that doo, especially when I seen how far in front of the two south birds it was. I didnae think of it at the time but when ye do think who's bird it was there aren't many gonna beat Jock with a doo so far out in front. If it was the likes of me then there was a Very good chance I woulda been caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkj Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just read the result and well done all. Big well done to the sect a timers another great display in a stinker great result with section A , when staying on there line of flight down the west, what happens when you take them off it like the ypres race, they struggle, and ypres is only 380ml into the south,most feds in scotland race east then jump west for snfc racing, there.s your answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right. Think the South have won Ypres twice in the races short history. Reims twice as Well. Am sure the guys doon here will be gutted to discover they only win cos it's first drop and nowt to do wae getting yer birds in great order for the job.Poor post Davey buy someone who should know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
