OLDYELLOW

i know an old timer thats used them , said when i was last speaking to him he said his birds used to fly there socks off on those teas

there mainly grizzles if the old lines

arent they gary spavin teas now ? i know quite a few of the Scotish lads used to use them

Nbs ybs worth a go at that price

peter could be right 999 rings possible ?

most be at Blackpool by now

im sure some of the tippler / tumbler guys will know been many years since i had a few rollers

no idea Gail might be a fancy bird :-/

any press thats positive and gets pigeons shown in a positive light has to be good for the sport never seen the head of any unions involved with any pigeon storys its always the fanciers at the bottom end trying to recruit and these guys that go into school are taking the gauntlet in hand and doing a great job even if they get 2 fanciers for the future of racing then its worth while

the future of the sport committee just another get together for the blue blazer brigade other than going to a few country fairs will a small stall giving out leaflets not a great deal been done. As for those good old days and clubs with members getting on i would like to say im priveledged to be such a club where everyone i would call friend no arguments great discusions and no back stabbing , and i hold my hand out every week to have it shaked lol and im among the first to offer my congratulations when others win ( hoping fer a bit of luck to be rubbed back on to my hand )

have noticed a bit quiter on site this morning due to the migration to colder winder climbs of Blackpool by the many fanciers on site

i also emailed the bbc http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7846436.stm i thought the above reports research was at least very scetchy and doesnt truely reflect pigeon racing , the demise for pigeon racing is the likes of computer based games and very little up take by a younger generation , but a hobby thats taken up by the retired , taking pigeons to children in schools is a great inicitive to get a younger generation intrested in this great sport / past time be realy good if you could attend the 'show of the year' in blackpool after all this is the mecca of british fanciers young and old , the bird flue only ever effected the channel racing and a few no movement areas pigeon sales and people buying new birds suffered during that period however i think you need to say that pigeons arent able to contract bird flue as this could put of would be future fanciers Yours in Sport Mark

to get pigeons on the tv it's self is a feat in it's self , yes the research was at least scetchy however to put a positive view of pigeons in to the public domain in a positive view other than the ferial 'flying rats' that frequent our towns and citys and lothed by the general public is a step in the right dirrection .

i must have the Blackpool weather here its raining

well hopefully it will get a couple more pigeon fanciers for the future

try your local garden centre or fencing companys worse comes to worse im sure some green plant supports would be strong enough to hold the weight of the bobs

metal fencing wire when you buy bobs you can buy with the wire with them from most places

welcome to pigeon basics

sputniks are ok but when i get ets im going to build my own trap , the reason been the birds have to drop hard on to there legs which in my mind is un-natural for the birds , and after a long race it must be uncomfortable for them

is your friend super doo ?

well i could meet the person on routee but im unsure of a meeting place , good luck

Well done Sam , Wonder if swilcocks has arranged to give him the voucher perhaps could be given at same time ?

if you can get it up to me id take it to Blackpool ill be going around Leeds to get there

my great uncle eat his birds i was very upset when i saw the little carcuses on a tray , however i went up to loft to make sure no favourates were gone , and there werent it only happened twice that i recalled , but on a serious note i couldnt eat pigeon , now pheasants very nice
