Guest bigda Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 this race point is a disaster for the lanarkshire the birds are not learning anything from it there are loads of birds once again missing from it, and not here in race time this is not good enough to be clased as a race point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gareth Rankin Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 why do you think midlands fed never race from there dannyThe reason they didnt have it on their race program was because the sites they used were no longer suitable for liberating pigeons, Lanarkshire were fortunate to have someone who provided a site that was suitable for two HGV lorrys.

Let's hope it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
