Sorry to hear Mike is packing pigeon racing due to work commitments and family reasons I personally know he has spent hundreds of pounds on the very best lines in pigeons. Direct from the herbots and many other top quality flyers is total stock, stock lofts are going I now he spent over £7K on his petron loft all for sale and going. Many of his birds are section winners, federation winners the 2008 British Homing World Middle Distance pigeon he named Drogba will be in the sale its a shame to see this quality of flyer walking away from the sport. Top flyers in the Rhondda Valley Fed in 08 the season they had their full racing team attacked and killed at their racing lofts with a record of points that has not been matched or i think will never be broken. Rebuilt their racing team from scratch from their fabulous stock and once again setting club and feds alight with the 3rd Hotspot race won this year at RPRA one loft race Sale is in November in Newport by auctioneer John Burgham I now I be there after them but Mike I am sorry to see you go from our sport
