Alot of valid reasons given within clubs+feds but since coming into sport i always thout the Unions were there to Police, Promote, defend, the Sport but over the years you Never Really Hear of them, I know they report ur strays, an supply Rings, but both these could be done with Wing Stamps And sourceing rings Straight from Suppyers ) probaly cheaper ) Its not very often if at all you hear them Fighting Fanciers Corner, in Papers on TV anyware, mayb am wrong and thier are Members out thier who can persude me am wrong, who have had alot of help and assitance from Unions, Please tell us. They have for years been very Quiet concerning (DEFENDING) sport against BOP, at the moment they seem to be very Quiet concerning (POLICE-ING) sport ie SNFC carry on which wouldn,t attract many new members. then we get to (PROMOTE-ING ) Sport non exsisting, not point promoting it in racing post as non-members probaly dont get it or read it, adverts in main papers, social media, schools, ANYWARE !!!! but all seem missing, i wonder with the Membership Dwindleing will the Union Officeals still expect same WAGE ?????. I totally agree the Sport F**ked but i thinks its because people put in charge of JOB have done very LITTLE. JMO,
