I have read most of the posts on this thread, but some of it is just utter nonsense, I have taken videos of every SNFC liberation that I have been apart of to show the members, I have watched the video on numerous occasions, if the wind was so strong why are the tree,s in the background not moving. The reason we didn't liberate along wth the snrpc, we did not no they were planning on liberating at that time, and did not think the weather at that time was suitable. And I can assure you they use the same racepoint , as I have there lib video on my phone also , I am sure there was more to the bad race , if the weather at the time of liberation wasn't right the birds would have not went. As for incompetence and to many fingers in pies on race days if you think I take a week of work to be better off, your delusional,I have always taken my position as SNFC convoyer very seriously. But am sure if the birds were in the Lanarkshire transporter,s we wouldn't be having this conversation.
