| I know pigeon racing in on the decline as we all know but have you ever thought of how many fanciers are in partnership. .say for instance on my club there are 13 members flying as such but really we have 17 if you split them separately, which obviously sounds better ..anyway there are more partnership now then say 15 years ago if you understand where I am coming from .so really it's not as bad as I thought it was but I do know in 10 years it will be really bad but I was just sitting thinking about this ..do you know what I am saying ? |

| If folks live close by should be the way to go. Save 50% of the expenses. |

| Yes ray i do when you read in the homing world that the fancy is in a decline they are talking about individual fanciers in the main but what about members that go into partnership with each other sometimes 3 or 4 partners together then it doesn't look so bad less loft numbers same membership |

| It's good if it keeps people in the sport but what I disagree with is when sellers advertise and say they are top fliers in a club with 20 members and there's 4 or 5 of them in partnership, then other members in other partnership too, you find out that there's really only 8 or 10 lofts and some of those only race now and again. Sounds better if you advertise yourself top dog against 20 members than the truth that your flying against a small number of lofts most weeks. Same thing when someone gets on about being 1st against 150 birds when they sent 50 or 60. To me they're 1st beating @100 birds from other lofts, surely you can't count beating yourself? You can't race against yourself. |

| I don’t think costs are that bad, if costs are too high fanciers can keep less pigeons. I race North and birdage isn’t too bad, but birdage to send South is to dear for me. |

| I know where your coming from Barnie but you always include your own birds in any result as that bird has won against say 260 birds , you can't take your own 50 or so off but if you are saying g to beat 10 lofts that's different if you know what I mean |

| It is not cheap anymore. Costs me about $1000 a year. Even if I only fly one ob race and a year and one young bird race. I do not vaccinate or medicate or would be more. |

| aye the channel races hammers the pocket. I try and get as much corn and bits in before we start buying corn and racing soon empties the piggy bank |

| Yeah I agree the vaccine is dear, I’m a small team flyer and I go halves on the vaccine with another fancier. |
