Im not disrespecting you Walter, nor am I questioning your intellect. Im only venting my spleen on the state of the pigeon sport nowadays. I myself have donated ybs every year to charity sales and even to clubs/feds that don't accept my application for membership. Ive been a worker for 40 years in the sport from club right up to SNFC level and held most positions in our sport but yet still all this means nothing to the majority of the pigeon fraternity. You will probably recognise and understand my bitterness through my writings.

Watch the pigeon sport die, your having a laugh Walter. Ive been kept out a club/fed for 6 years now and you think I see a way forward for the sport, no chance when you have the majority of fanciers with a below average intelligence DECIDING WHAT HAPPENS. Too much talk about things we already know should happen but nothing is ever done. The biggest problem in the sport isn't hawks or YBS , its LAZINESS, everbody sits back and talks a good game without following it through. Another point while mentioning hawks,you tell me what you have done to sort the hawk problem in your area Walter, this is one of the main problems for losses in pigeon racing at the present time. I would wager, like most folk, NOTHING!!!

Spot on Tony.I was told some fanciers in Belgium put an old and a yb ring on their ybs so they can fly them in the ob season .They then cut the ob ring off and fly the yb programme with them. I remember a local fancier timing in a yb from the old bird Dorchester race, 370 miles.

Our club was meant to disband and join Chryston ( Lanarkshire )Their officials all told us they had meeting and we would get in no problem so we disband Kirkintilloch and then applied to Chryston, they knocked us back. All the Kirky members went back to Glasgow fed clubs but I wasn't allowed back. I contacted the SHU and the RPRA about this and was told if I want a club id need to start one myself, expletive remove.They said it was happening all over Britain, fanciers kept out because of performances. So, their you have it Tam, no club since 2008 and ive helped everybody in my area with pigeons etc over the years. Back stabbed to death.

Yearling only races in August and September, ????????????? What about the moult ????

All this talk of change etc is all b.s and nothing will ever be done to better the sport. expletive remove, the hawk problem itself cant even be sorted and guys are standing back watching the falcolns kill their top pigeons. We have Unions that do fk all for the betterment of our sport so what chance have we got? TALK IS CHEAP, and their is plenty of talk on here.

Decent gesture m8

Didny know that one Andy, I liked Live Circuit

Well done all prize and trophy winners especially club champ J&A Wylie and top prize winners Tallis & MacDonagh

expletive remove The season is short enough, I want more yb or any age races into the end of September.

Great flying , well done

I spoke of this system on another thread, it is very good if you have a lot of ybs in your section but basically, you don't need an extracter if their is plenty of space for the pigeons.

I know a guy from Motherwell who visited Black that night and he had just arrived the blue cock appeared to win the national.He told me he was buzzing seeing it coming.

Sorry m8, looks like im being a smart azz but I wasn't sure I was right.
