Best North Road Flyers Now

[The Navigator]

Please can you post the best North Road fanciers that are racing now. Would not mind trying a few down this way. We used to race North and they where far better pigeons.

[Guest]

George Chalkley, Pat O'Sullivan, Mark Bulled, all good flyers from the distance North, to name but three

[Tony C]

I would say the best north rd flyers in London are A & R Tubey. Dagenham Essex.

i thought that mark had gone south,you also missed frank tasker

[retired]

Frank Tasker, Frank Bristow, also some of the Louth Boys - Mamwell Brothers etc.

 

[COTTONHEAT]

Joe Smith & Kenny Burt are 2 good flyers on the north

[retired]

Also a very good flyer in the PDF John Hardy of Hardy & Troops - He is a newphew of Charlie,Les and Russel Wooff and under their guidance and with their family has become every bit as succesful.

i would recomend buy some birds of my brother ron dunks he has the best north rd birds around north lincs a mixture of d &t harris jansens and there wildermersch on the north the jansens were unbeatable we would love the opertunity to race against the nrcc but in this so called sport of ours they have a radius to prevent us from racing against them ,ask yourself why

In reality, and no disrespect to some of the above names, indeed Bristow I class a good friend indeed etc.

But would personally stay away from the 'East Coast Club' brigade. And Louth, is mostly a wind up the tail and not really a great test etc. - Yes of course the have to beat their competition, and I'd say that that is fierce indeed ofcourse. But is the hardinest bred in? or indeed honed to what a good hard distance racer needs? :-/ :-/ I have reservations in that regard.

 

Me, I'd be looking for birds in West London, Wales, Devon etc. for the more hardier pigeons.... Mind Frank Bristow also flies a good bird South now, and no one, but no one has better stock pigeons ANY where, with perhaps the exception of Ron Williams.

I'd put it this way, if two birds released from Thurso say and one heading to Lowerstoft Way and the other Aberystwyth on a normal day - with the inevitable West in wind, you could get a bet on the birds in lowerstoft timing in first... exaggerated grant to show the point. But some birds fly with at least a side wind nigh every race.

Example, I was doing 1960 from a Frazerburgh race. Clus in the  12 miles or so in the East were doing nearly 2100... the east coast brigade were 2300 plus. So obviously even in easier races, the wind still plays a major part.

And if a crack fanciers does his utmost to beat thge wind, and a crack fancier his utmost too to win.... Wind wins. Yes we can't harness it... adjust our sails maybe a little. But if the East coast boy does also, and let's face they will, do and have to to win...

 

Andrews Bussearts take all the beating.... Turner's Bussearts are purple, no two ways about that.

Hi roland,

quiet interesting statement why would you say you'd look for pigeons from west london, instead of the north london or east london areas where the LNRC is won prodominently,

[pjc]

Wiley, as you know the LNRC is relatively a small area with majority of birds coming down the M11 coridor!

There are still very good fanciers in east and north london, consiatent flyers like the Chalkleys, Gordon Thorpe, Woodo, Vic Shaw etc etc

[meadowlofts]

totally agree with you roland thats why our nth lincs fed  is mainly won by the cleethorpes brigade but if the full fed turned north you would see a totally different results one or two of the coastal big boys would still be up there but there percentage of wins would be far less
