NOSEY! Not so good Tooshy... have you been on the Derby Arona website? this would keep anybody occupied for a few hours looking through all the great pics of every pigeon entered, progress charts etc

How are you fairing today buddy...

regardless of numbers sent by a fancier once liberated every pigeon is an individual in the sky, only the best and the fittest come to the front!

a lot of auctions happening in pubs/clubs around blackpool now which i think is the reason the winter gardens doesnt seem so busy...

60 ready to leave nest next week!

bring it home!

probably be cheaper... lol

read about ur condition in another thread, the lap top must play a big part of your life now then mate! thanks for your support to all the Scottish competitors...

no intentions as always... but eyes are always open so never say never, bought 7 at a sale in 2009... 4 of which bred fed winners, a cock purchased at blackpool has bred a silver award winner SNFC... no fancier on this earth is good enough to judge a pigeon then term them as sh*te!

Cheers Tooshy Boy... u r a keen follower of this topic!

thanks mate, be great if we all make it thro to the final... but as long as one pigeon makes it from the Scottish Team regardless of what loft it is bred from, we will still all be rooting for it just the same... GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

dropped one also at first off shore flight, ye gets a bit tricky now... if you get them back from the first island training flight they should go the full way, imo... but having said that alot of they young pigeons have learnt alot from the two off shore flights, so should help?

yip, same here... ur syndicate has four left alec?

did everybody activate there reserve pigeons? 3rd part activation starts 18th January... wonder if there will be any 'Flecha's' this year...

dont be fooled by birds looking good these days, there could be something lurking unknown... safer to get them tested then treat from there if required...

always find training at crack of dawn better for reducing predator strikes, dont like the idea of training in small batches... we all have one or two good pigeosn in our lofts (club/fed winner/SNFC diploma winner,etc), if trained in small batches then this will increase the chances of our favorites being nabbed!

ypres great stepping stone for yearlings and lesser experienced old birds, certainly not a sprint race!

aye then a delayed lib next day, obvious it had to go!

tidy programme... good eastbourne been ditched, should boost the entry for clermont

contact GERALDY, i'm sure they would also bring it too blackpool?

everybody's dream...

hoping to have a crack at my first gold cup this year, lets hope alencon passes!

another 6 home today... totalling 1030
