Lost Town

[Guest bigda]

i hope the numptys that voted for this race point gets cleaned out, as this place is the pits for racing old birds, never mind young birds, there has never been a good race from this place ever. east and west of it is deep forestry, any attack and your doos are into the trees, then you have 2 escape routes one north that leads into a valley the next is then south

again heading down through hills. your birds have no hope and they are learning nothing the whole idea is to train not strain, but the lanarkshire numptys that only send 6-8 at the distance want young birds at distance, they haven't got the brain they where born with. the returns from yesterday's race is 35% and there is 65% of the convoy are now missing

think our equivelant race point to this must be Tewkesbury,never had a good race there since moving here and it never changed yesterday either,we had a horrible race and we still have 13 to come,one was reported yesterday afternoon by a man in Haltwhistle which is about another 160 miles north of us

Danny looking at the posts on here there are birds missing but nowhere near the 65% that you are claiming or is this your returns we are getting?

[geordie1234]

78% home for me

at race time 35% this is what counts, not the ones that came latter the place is known as lost town. and if you ask any one who has raced it will tell you you could loose fed toppers from it any day of the week.

I'm considering stopping a few pigeons now I'm trying to build a team for next year they have been well trained and had their fare share of bad tosses and bop strikes
