PATTY BHOY Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 do all 9 lofts fly in same club ? the 7 lofts fly in 1 club,the other 2 with an other club.
Guest spin cycle Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 the 7 lofts fly in 1 club,the other 2 with an other club. perhaps in that case its not just about which allotment but which club you prefer ? weigh it all up and good luck with your choice
greenlands Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 the reason i am asking is that i have a choice of 2 allotment sites,1 is 4 miles away the other is 3 miles away.the 1 that is 4 miles away has 7 lofts on it and the 1, 3 miles away has 2 lofts on it,this allotment has a much bigger space to work with , :-/privacy etc. give me your thoughts. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ I've been lucky since starting with pigeons i've always had back garden lofts.If i was to choose i would select the site which is more secure,or even the site with most lofts security/safety in numbers.Lindsay
PATTY BHOY Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Posted February 20, 2009 1 club has about 25 flying members the other has 20 flying members.

Guest kev d Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 it doesnt mater how many lofts are on the site or how secure they are if they want to break in they will , i was on a site with 6 lofts on we all had keys for the gate they were very secure but we still had break in,s . if i was you i would choose the sit with 2 lofts on it purely cos of the least birds flying round it can be a bloody night mare , just my thoughts , kev
Guest Vic Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 It's always twice as far when things ain't going well. lol.

Guest kev d Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 patty bhoy , im not trying to sway you in any way , but im just letting you know what can happen with to many lofts around some times you never have a minutes peace , but there again you can have a realy good laugh with them as well . kev
doo Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 the allotment that has 7 lofts is club owned,the allotments with 2 are private owned. Magic if you have the first bird to the allotments not so good if yer last ;D My mate Graham White from Dumbarton flew birds to allotments with 7-8 lofts on them ...looked really good

At the end of the day it has to be down to your personal preference
