Guest ben Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Well well,what do we have here,..........Dont meen to ave ago but over the last year or so on other forums I have seen terry selling his best bird cos hes packing up its the same old story, just how many best birds has he got What`s that old but very true saying,you can fool some of the peoplemost of the time,most of the people some of the time but you can`t fool ALL the people All the time!!!!!!!!! i think because most of the members who post on here are not real National flyers,terry thought he could get away with saying he could`nt gt in any clubs to race,but that could never ever be true,iti s totally outragious to think,The National Flying club,The British Barcelona Club,The British International Classic Club ,The London and South East Classic Club,The North Road Classic Club,and god knows how many more clubs would ever think of refusing Terry membership ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;
Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 Dont meen to ave ago but over the last year or so on other forums I have seen terry selling his best bird cos hes packing up its the same old story, just how many best birds has he got I have never seen Terry state he is packing it up! When you have a loft full of winners as he has you do have a lot of best birds, and i for one would buy any of Terry's birds if i could keep them again. As for joinning nationals etc, i believe the ones Ben mentions are south road an i thnk Terry mainly rcaes north although i think hes changed a few around this time, and being in these clubs can take up a lot more time than club racing. Jealousy springs to mind.
Guest juboy Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 You is right mick, plenty of guys know Terry and what a capable fancier he is, it's not like he sells many, gods sake he was giving them away a few months ago to new starters. Bet there are plenty of guys that would like a loft of birds like terry has, me included!
Guest strapper Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 i think terry pointed out in the original post, that he MAY not be racing next season , thats why the bird was put up for sale. he has now had new evidence that things have turned around and he may race after all.
Guest ben Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 mick b,what a load of old rot,If Terry thought his birds were any good,surely he would race against the BEST he could find, National competetion,but alas inferior club/fed flying will leave you with plenty of crap,which should be put in the bin.,unless you can find somewhere to sell inferior produce,pigeon basics ;perhaps ;D ;D
slatey Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 has any of you knockers ever been to terrys loft ????????????????? he said he may sell this hen this w/end when he said he had pm/s for a grand half of you sh*t yourself now you slag him because she may not be for sale because he may get in a club hope you do tel ben have you been to terrys loft????? or are you one who ran away from him i have been to terrys handled most of terrys pigeons you pick one up they are all same class yes we have all got sh*t in our lofts we all suspect which they are but are never to sure every pigeon in your loft must be national winners then ben if club/fed flying leave you with crap
wolfey11 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 Ben, Terry is unbelievably generous with pigeons & pigeon related knowledge. I know he's helped me a great deal in the last 12M. Also, have you not seen a list of his combine positions? If ever I get close to being as successful ......... If he decides to go South road in a fully committed way, then watch out!!!
Delboy Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 What a waste of a thread,nobodys questioning Terrys ability in flying pigeons .The bird isnt for sale now, thats the end of a pointless thread

fletch Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 this came up after i had decided to sell the bird if i got a chance of racing i will take it and no i have never stated im packing in all i ever said i may have to if i cant get in club as for racing for clubs honours etc this has 1 good point its called motivation this is wat a club does for you just racing for fed honours dont as for flying against the best i do as far as im concerned perhaps we think diferent on whos best yes i do give birds away fed winners etc i give loads to charitys aswell if i can ever help anyone out i will u cant knock anyone for wanting to keep there best if there going to race I do not now terry but most people hold him in the highest regard as a pigeon fancier and a person of what i hear or have read, He does not need all the bad publicity or neagative vibes he has had of this thread. I wish you all the best if you sell your bird or birds or if you dont also with hope that you are allowed to race your birds as thats what most of us wish for with success or failure those great saturday afternoon waiting for arrivle with the butterflies in our stomach. Why should this guy not be allowed to compete because he is succefull. All the best Terry please dont take any notice of these bad remarks all the best for the future..
ALF Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 I spoke to Terry for a couple of hours on sunday night on the phone and i like to think i'm a good judge of a person and i think he's as straight up as you'll get that's why i told him i wanted to purchase 6 y/b's from him next year not to as Ben says race in the >>The National Flying club,The British Barcelona Club,The British International Classic Club ,The London and South East Classic Club,The North Road Classic Club<< but to win in my club and my fed ( hopefully :-/ ;) ) Stop knocking the guy if the doo isnae for sale now then i hope Terry breeds a good few more winners off her 8) 8) 8) ALF

Jealousy springs to mind. No need for that crap scenario of jealous, it is uncalled for! Besides being plain stupid to imply, it once again carries no merit whatsoever. That is a lame crutch for being unable to see the truth, or not wanting 98% of the time. Other than that, I don't know Terry, and his perdicuments regards clubs and club racing. But would say that in terms of value, that is a blumming good bird and at todays prices could well be worth the grand he seeks. Very few indeed is it when a proven breeder hits the market.
steve Posted November 7, 2008 Report Posted November 7, 2008 i thought it would be up to terry if he wants to sell or not circustances change good luck in getting in a club for the 2009 season
Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Well Terry i will back you 100% because i think its a little bit of jelousy going on here, you have some amazing birds, theyre just not happy if you part with them as u will get money along the way if you gave them away they wouldnt say any thing if every 1 of your birds was a national champion! its just the fact that like i said u may make a little money, but who cares there your birds, and youve spent money on them so who cares if you get it back with a little extra u deserve it!!! As for getting into a club i hope u do, if they refuse u membership report them to the rpra, they will get the book thrown at them!!!! TAKE CARE BEN
jonjon Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 ive known terry for an bit now hes an genuin man gives many to charity sales helps people with any advice they need his result in club fed and combine are nothing short of excellent it always to seem to be the good guys who get treated like s??t jelousy is the word im looking for u need not answer to anyone the results and genarosety do it for u
tubbles Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 I was lucky enough to have got one of Terry's gift birds A Vandenabeel winner (for Terry) The pigeon is an absolute beauty. Terry has stated loads of times that he can't get in clubs local to him. I also would be thinking of selling them if i couldn't race in clubs, it is ok you club men saying join the nationals but if you can't race in clubs what is there to look forward to in just national racing. Birds are prepared for nationals by racing in clubs, clubs are the back bone of the sport not nationals. Phil Brown
Roland Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 So some just fly nationals. The lack of training, I.e. be able to use club races as such, is often put forward as. This is not really the case, the possibility is more the Comradeship I feel one missing is the most off putting. Now as a member of the RPRA, there is nothing to stop anyone going to any club on basketing nights and sending their birds for this purpose. Even having a club, or their’ ET set. They have to do this by the rules of the RPRA! I did one year, and was quickly accepted as such in that particular club. Indeed when I moved within their radius later in life I was voted in no problem. When I moved back to this area of course I had real problems getting into the local clubs. Indeed I was refused entry on silly trumped up rubbish. Hence I travelled 20 miles one way just to fly. Another Club in a good eastern location Fed wise open up it's radius to accommodate another folding club. I was allowed in that, I am 10 miles West of them or more to some of the flyers... But I fly. Then the folding club re - open only 6 miles from me... same line of flight nigh as me too... so now I am in three clubs, but the ones I originally I'm not.... But one does overtures for me to join ... they need funds raising... Won't happen. So till this season I have flew at a disadvantage, travel far a field... and as I worked most week - end nights I still had a problem flying. Sure was told I could leave the birds and they would take them. Did once, they were in so much of a rush they forgot mine. Then the 'Wife' is adamant each time that they don't know oat, and cats etc. etc. so never happens. Now am sorted, so looking for a relaxing retirement, and peeing the missis off via spending time with the pigeons.
