eastcoaster Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Not good , but as I have found out over the years federation pigeons and 500 ml pigeons are a different creature but think we all know the pigeon game has changed from 60 mls to 500 mls birds are having problems and don't believe it all Percy jmo.

frank-123 Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 You better watch out Davy last I saw the SNFC dont like the members discussing races on here. Did any members get the report from the SNFC management committee. The report into the gold cup race I am talking about Nearly a month since a meeting was called maybe the information hasnt been collected yet.

THE FIFER Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Have been on pb a long time and always support the SNFC and only asking what we can do to make next year better.?? yes m8 and good, the posts referring to the SNFC not allowing discussions is wrong m8, the problem was the naming and downing the convoyers and all SNFC officials, discussions are welcome but please others keep it to that no names or officials getting run down etc, those can only be sorted thru the SNFC not on a forum, so please keep the discussion going to see if things can be helped, Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop the inland nationals and get across the channel in May. Give the race control team the best weather forecast from professional people.Go for the line of flight with the shortest channel crossing. The water at marking stations must be in the basket asap.Use the channel tunnel have the birds there quicker. Water on the baskets at every opportunity. 18 birds to a basket max every race.

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 Move the Gold Cup closer? not necessarily,but lookin at Alec's stats it's clear the shortest flying section has the highest prize percentage and the furthest flying has the lowest. It might not be the worst idea?Looking at the numbers going to the races in the mid 60s when the three French races became a permanent fixture,they were often sending up to three times more in one of them,than we can muster up between all three. Somethings changed,should we maybe take that on board?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
