A very honest and open post Del, well done. Can hardly be any more frank than that, but sadly some wont like it as they cant handle the truth. It would be good to see some of these things taken in board instead of it all being forgotten about after racing is finished. I pesonaly have no axe to grind with anyone and didnt loose a pigeon as none were sent, the controllers and convoyers have done nowt wrong but people need to stop wearing blinkers and try and sort things out for the good of the pigeons for ultimately is is them who suffer. Realy feel for the guys with some realy good birds missing, hope they turn up soon.
