| Apparently the wheels are already in motion, I don't have all the details yet. But it could well be taking pigeon racing into the 21st century. |

| That's the one mate, the best thing will be that the owners will get all the rewards, no money going to Trainers or Jockeys. I think some real stars could emerge, with nothing to lose and all to gain. I think the bookies would welcome it. There has never been a fairer system in any sort of racing and they could also be tracked by satellite. Wot a buzz |

| Just imagine it though. The racing pigeon unions would certainly be no match for the RSPB and the like. Could you imagine the commentary the winner is now approaching the loft. It's just been hit a bop. Could you imagine the screams then. |

| You'll be working for a living mate, Imagine working out those odds. It would be interesting, it would be like the grand national every day. |

| nice post Gaz, i can see it catching on in Belguim and Holland and maybe China, whether it would become the alternative to horse racing we can only dream. I have been here thinking i wonder what reaction this would get,
Grand national 2100,
and they are now over the last set of mountains and heading for the channel, the favourite is slightly ahead, the bookies will take a hell of a bashing if it wins with £30 million at stake on this race, 2nd is His royal highnesses pigeon closing in, they approach the cliffs of dover neck and neck, just 5 miles till they reach the loft, the royal highnesses bird leads by 40 yards, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD The Kings pigeon is under attack, oh well never mind its only a pigeon.
or can you imagine the fuss if you were watching the derby and a giant bird picked up a horse and pissed off with it. |

| It's already big in China Steve and in Belgium and Holland, it's only us here in the UK who are behind the times mate. Hopefully that is about to change and pigeon racing will get the recognition it deserves. These races will be that well attended, it will put Bop attractions to shame. |

| I get it all the time mate, I fitted a second hd in my pc just for the crap, I have files in names stored, just for a rainy day for when I need to use it as evidence against them. One thing I have noticed, they all work from the same script and their comments are repetitive. |
