Route... no other reason.

Nothing lib remotely near that time I think 8 .30 was the first. To be honest the should have come straight through Dumfries on up the Nith valley to Ayr

Wouldn't be clashing libbing at 06.30, racepoint and route 100%

[ALF]

4/12 No in till 11.34 nearly 25 mins behind the winner

[KMCK]

Not just the route Ayrshire was at arnison today I've got 5/20 clubs gutted aswell 14/60,15/50,0/16,15/40 most clubs are the same in Ayrshire just now

[tyson]

I know percie is one of the biggest problems we have but one thing I would like to ask out of the lofts that are haveing bad returns how many of them have had the youngbird sickness because lets be honest there are young birds in these transporters that shoudnt be in themI have known fanciers say Ive got 3 or 4 being sick but the rest look alright and still send to races if you have it do the right thing and dont send then it wont spread to other pigeons j.m.o

Spot on,its a bigger problem than Percy is regarding youngbird racing.J.M.O.

[blucock]

Definitely the route. Ayrshire fed's worst returns were about 60% - top side of the fed 90%. WSCC got slaughtered. Fanciers who sent to both will tell you the difference lads. One 3/24 WSCC vs 28/29 Ayrshire.

 

The Cumbrian boys are about done. There won't be any racing there in 5 years time. Stay out of the border valleys - it's bad enough getting a run at them but liberating there ? I heard there was real teeming rain too which didn't help - I am very surprised they went up at 0630hrs

spot on, seen birds spewing in the baskets and the owners say o there ok ok my shiter they should be suspended for contaminating other fanciers birds, its hard enough trying to get them home

[blucock]

If you seen that Dunc you should have had the fancier remove them from the basket there and then
