Great post Roland Having visited The Gulf Coast Club I can assure you it is very impressive but they spend a lot of money promoting there sport the club room is magnificent. They race three times a week short / middle and long distance it is the most professional run set up I have seen When fliers in other states retire a lot move there because of the pigeon racing the houses have huge gardens and the lofts do not look out of place When I was over they were being investigated about gambling what brought this on a disgruntled member???? I can only hope they win there case but you are right these people are watching us even over here and it's only a matter of time before we get harrased With all the recent losses and no interest in solving it we are going to attract more investigations Look back as far as the Jubilee race disaster which was also swept under the carpet we never learn We should have a spin doctor working for us to promote our sport and an organisation to look at losses it's to easy to blame others we need to look/help ourselves
