Louellas Re Vamp Site

[Guest JonesyBhoy]

was up at louella on sun when they launched the new blacks stain ,got to be honest not for me but they were going like hell \a lot of interest in them and plenty sold

but what a difference from the last time i was here back in 1992 when the big breeding cenre was open ,but couldnt fault the birds on offer and added to that all pens were open and you were invited to handle any pigeon you wished to from £37 to £750

 

the big breeding center..?? is louella smaller than it was in the 90s..??

it only opened for a few years but i believe was clossed has it was too expensive to run it was about rates etc they closed it

Believe they stopped it due to quiet a few fanciers some I know, stealing eggs and pigeons. Resulting in the coach being pulled up by the police, and birds flying everywhere. Surely wasn't good for the sport.

yea 100% true, at the time Jimmy Edridge was working for Louis, and he said no one from East London was welcome back, and infact Jimmy nearly lost his job over it! An old racing partner of mine was on the coach, when the old bill pulled them over, and he said there was birds flying round the coach, and birds being let out of the coach as the old bill pulled them over.

My friend are you forgetting that Shauns father was Peter Pollock, another south african fast bowler!! And even Peter and Grahems Father played cricket for the Orange Free State

 

no i havent forgotten that, just an example of a sportsman nephew doing well. i must say though that Peter Pollock and his father had nothing on Graham and Shaun. different class all together. :mellow:
