they will get my quid when they stop giving our money away yes yours and my fees go towards charitys like it or not so its about time they gave something back and fight for the members who pay the pricks to sit and do f====k all

I think the name could be misleading.
As the last thing we want to do is form an alliance with raptors.
But it does sound a little like the raptor defence lets not get the two confused eh.

i think ita all talk, they are just starting to make a few of the right noises which will hopefully keep us happy......lets see how far it gets this time next year.

a load of hot air me thinks.

gary, i see you have closed the petition down, you did your best and to be honest i dont see anyone doing better..........and ill be very, very suprised if the rpra and cronies do anywhere near as well, and thats with all the help they have at their disposal.


well done to you gary you did your best....concentrate on your own birds now and leave those who didnt show support to the hawks........

Ive had it mate with the whole lot of it.
I did all that I could, with nothing. It never cost the fanciers a penny.
Now let me see what they are going to do with the money.
A good PR Company, that's half of it gone already.
Now are they going to promote pigeon racing with the rest or start doing a survey.
Hmm, they have run out of money.
Lets have some pigeon sales.
Maybe not, the bops have eaten them.

i dont think promoting pigeon racing is going to achieve anything gary, they have been trying for years and its been a total waste of time and money in my opinion...........

have you got a link to the page guys ????

i havnt seen it rene, just got told about it the other day by rainbow/george who asked if i had a fax machine he could send it to so i could post it on the site......then gary has just mentioned it.

ok thanks mate

HERE IT IS

thanks for putting it up gaz

No probs mate

Nice one Gary

duno whats nice about it just shit to make ya think someones doing something clever

having read through this i get the impression they are being very nieve about the situation and there proposed plan of attack......i get the impression they are taking things too lightly and actually believe it is straight forward.

it seems like they are grasping at straws to me....JMO

nothing more than taking the piss make it look like your doing something to be honest sick of reading all the crap and its going to be the same all year each time you go on a site or read ya mags hawks hawks hawks yet only a few signed a petiton someone took time to get up think ive seen as many moan as have signed
then the ybs will take over i give up with it all to no one seems to care but as gary has said many times we are our own worst enemy the rspb come on these sites and laugh at us and to be honest they have every right to

You would have thought a big organisation like that would have come up with something a bit more original.
Anyways it serves the rest of the fanciers right, they might as well dig deep and shell out for someone to do summat for um, because it was obvious they didnt want to support a freebie. A 100,000 signatures, deja vu.
I'm just trying to think what else I said in me phone calls.
Good luck to em, they are gonna need it.

i dont think we will hear much about it after a while, people tend to start off with big ideas and promises but it fades away after a while and is forgotten about.......i think with all the letters and suggestions there has been in the homing world by fanciers, the rpra have realised they had to look as tho they were doing something, because it was obvious to every pigeon fancier in the uk they didnt give a toss.


make the right noises and the mugs will follow like sheep, thats the rpra`s thoughts.

Sorry G have read the article and was only saying nice one to Gary for posting it on the site thats all

I'm sorry but the name keeps banging around in my head.
Why the the f**k the Raptor Alliance.
We don't want any ALLIANCE WITH RAPTORS.
Definition of Alliance:
the state of being allied or confederated, an organization of people (or countries) involved in a pact or treaty, a formal agreement establishing an association or alliance between nations or other groups to achieve a particular aim, the act of forming an alliance or confederation.
Why not pigeon alliance, UK Alliance,.

Surely Raptor Alliance.
We are not Raptors, our birds are not raptors, maybe we could see sponsored by the RSPB somewhere.

totally agree gary, its been puzzling me too............it makes it sound as tho it is a few small bop/raptor groups who have come together to form as one.

very strange choice of name, wonder who thought that one up......? mark avery maybe

Perhaps someone more educated than us.
Maybe Raptor Food Alliance
I bet that would get government funding.
