  11. I have read with interest what has been said concerning the tv programme and the people in it with not owning a set i saw it on video at a friends this evening. To be perfectly frank it showed all the sides of the sport Derek Nicholls is an auctioneer/dealer/one loft organiser who states he is thier to make money he was also a fair decent flyer.Then the lovely man with his ill wife a real gentleman and sportsman who came across as Mr Nicholls for what he was. The old yorkshire chap who still is a fair decent flyer who loves his birds and is really close to them what nobody has mentioned was how clean his loft was on the INSIDE and how well his birds looked only a fool judges on apperances see what is inside the box forget the wrapping paper.Then the big spender ive met these people before the birds before the family nobody has mentioned the state of the kitchen that was the worst advert for pigeons in the programme i could never do that to my family. If you look thats what clubs/feds are made up of it wasnt that far awaythat chap in Plymouth was hardly old ans some of the younger fanciers ive met 20/40yrs thier language and lack of intelligence would exclude them .It was a programme on one loft racing as well not racing in general not for me but it showed us warts and all as have some of the statements on this subject.

  20. Sir may i suggest you look at your feeding ie carbohydrates,protiens etc the amounts being fed and the work you are giving them .Only you know if your birds are fit so train and feed accordingly and get them fit and send them in right condition ie sitting and fitness wise .
