The internet has not always been here! there was life before it and I wonder how communication was before it? There are a lot of strong personalities online but are they as strong in person? This is a great medium but its easy for people to sit behind a screen and say what they want but in equal measure there are people who sit behind the screen who watch and listen but don't contribute as much and have no less opinion or knowledge of keeping racing pigeons.

 

I have heard of many rivalries over the years and stories but I would like to hear about great rivalries in the racing pigeon world!

 

Interested to see the replies to this!

Yeah they are but no thanks to Louella who brought the trouble to our loft. Won at the bingo and the disposable income went on young birds from said stud farm. Ordered them and paid for them one day and had them arrived at our loft less than a week later! production line doo's! still waiting on a proper response from them and its dragged on a bit too long! wheres my money and whats the cost of 10 months of work down the swanny and no national racing? in my eyes its priceless!

before I moved down here Bob Smith bought a lot of young birds off them and most of them died and when he told them about it he was told they were all right when they left and he never got a penny back.!!
