  3. i agree the rite decision was made to hold the snfc birds to today just wish our fed had followed suit, our fed had a very bad race with only about 20 to 30 birds making it home on the night in the whole fed from leicester, at the end of the day its the birds that come first, the same principal occurs in other sports ie: football rugby & other out door pursutes if the weather is deemed to bad it is rescheduled, should be no different with pigeon racing?? my opinion

  25. i had the same thing happen to me a few seasons ago, lost a good bl cheq hen thinking bop had got her just got on with it, a year later she came romping in on a saturday morning all rubbered up i thought i had won that days race by a mile till checking her??? still have her in the loft today she is 13 now and has produced some of my best birds including the bird that won yesterdays race from newark 329 miles, the point being for all the good in pigeon racing there are some(a small minority ) very dishonest people involved in our sport/hobby question: if someone holds onto and races your bird without you knowing or consenting would that be classed as a form of theft?? defenately deceiptful.
