gangster Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 How can anyone say who is the best flyer when loft locations plays such a big part in the results. Move some of the top flyers 20 mile east or west of where they live now and you may never here of them again. ...ANSWER THE QUESTION SOUNDS LIKE YOUR DUCKING IT COME ON ?????????
jock3 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 thats very true loft location does make a big difference
pigeonscout Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 ...ANSWER THE QUESTION SOUNDS LIKE YOUR DUCKING IT COME ON ????????? Alan Darragh
Guest Vic Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 In my book, there's nobody anywhere near Ron Williamson.
swilcox Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 In Engaland Brian Sheppard, Brian Denny and Geoff Kirkland have won alot over the last 15 years!!!
eastcoaster Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 If Eddie Newcombe was still racing today in Scotland against only 1500 doo`s his record would be unsurpasable he was and is a top top flyer
pigeonscout Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Have the Donnelly Bros not been dominating the Northern Ireland (NIPA) racing for the last 3 years ?
Ulsterlofts Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Have the Donnelly Bros not been dominating the Northern Ireland (NIPA) racing for the last 3 years ? Hardly when Ron Williamson have been Northern Ireland Fanciers of the year the past 2 years lmao
Guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Have the Donnelly Bros not been dominating the Northern Ireland (NIPA) racing for the last 3 years ? look at there location for the fed bang on line :)but very good flyers any way
pigeonscout Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I thought the NIPA had done away with the fancier of the year award. If not is it still worked out on results = points or is it back to the old way were a couple of men have a vote to decide.
jimmy white Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 so many great fanciers , all in their different fields,, alan darragh, dave mawhinney,[glendi, fame] wooff bros and son [charlie , les and russel] been topping the fed for near 60 years now, and still doing it,,, even the first seven!! , many great distance fliers in scotland and n,ireland , too many to mention

If not is it still worked out on results = points or is it back to the old way were a couple of men have a vote to decide. Read it again not NIPA fancier of the year your rite they done away with it because he won that many times lmao, i said Northern Ireland Fancier of the year. He was also National Champion best average all races the past 2 years also ,
nogin Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Who do you believe is the best fancier in the UK.I would vote for Dave Delea,close second Chriss Gordon.I appreciate many fall into this category,but who's your favorite.?????????????????????????????/ YOU VINNIE ,YOUR MY SUPER HERO

maverick Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 EDDIE NEWCOMBE BY A LOMG WAY And still winning out in MALTA going out next week to stay with eddie for a week try and pick up some more tips lol
Roland Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Without a dout Ron Williamson over 50 X 1st Opens in the NIPA with up to and including 33,000 + birds from the 1st race till the last race old birds young birds makes no differance, when they are standing in Ireland looking for birds from France on the hardest of days you can bet Ron Williamson will be there. Pound for pound i cant see a better fancier anywhere , no matter what has been put infront of him any distance he has been to the front , no loft mangers here just a working guy who knows how to handle pigeons. Agree, if he was in the UK. Also didn't he learn his trade as a loft manager!? But if the heading had be 'BEST FANCIER IN UK' AND Irland / Ulster etc. then I'd say without a shaddow of doubt. Indeed of the 'Tops' anywhere in the world !

But if the heading had be 'BEST FANCIER IN UK' AND Irland / Ulster etc. then I'd say without a shaddow of doubt. Indeed of the 'Tops' anywhere in the world ! Hi Roland, Best Fancier In The Uk , Northern Is part of the UK dont see where your coming from on this as Ron races in Northern Ireland NIPA thats why he won the National UK RPRA sprint award & the National Uk RPRA Any Distance Champion birds at Blackpool at the weekend. As for learning his trade as a loft manger, why was it that Bertie Fletcher won 2 NIPA Opens in 20 years of racing before Ron went to manage his birds, and he never clocked a pigeon in the prizes from France that is including the English loft Manger he had , and the 1st year Ron was there he won him the French Derby NIPA ( Ron was 2nd Open to his own loft in that race) and when he left after 5 years as loft manger he had won him 14 x 1st NIPA Opens and never failed to clock in France lmao who taught who, think someone is telling you porkies, if you want the real truth ill give you Rons phone number and you can ask all about his days as loft manger. Yours In sport
The Navigator Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 This is a tough one, because it all depends on where each fanciers lives. Put one of the so called best in another area and they may not be so fantastic. But have to agree Ron Williamson is a man on his own.
dkj Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 john hodgeson of solway win 6 x1st snfc open all of scotland from france. dont think any other man is done this in the uk.
Guest chrisss Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Agree, if he was in the UK. Also didn't he learn his trade as a loft manager!? But if the heading had be 'BEST FANCIER IN UK' AND Irland / Ulster etc. then I'd say without a shaddow of doubt. Indeed of the 'Tops' anywhere in the world ! sorry roland as a new starter [to racing] i must have missed something here?,i am not too sure that been a loft manager has anything to do with how good [or not!!] a fancier is ,and i think he is in the uk [politics aside!!!1]
pigeonscout Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 You can forget the UK / Ireland / Europe, because on results achieved Ron has probably the best in world. If the question was who had the best results in the UK then Ron is in a league of his own. The question was who was the best fancier. Everyone will have their own option depending on whom is top of the tree in their own particular field of racing i.e. distance, middle distance, sprint, or all round.
terry mac Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 george and willie macaloney. of coatbridge scotland, they have lofts north, south, east, and west, of them, but they still win out of turn. top blokes as well
