MAIDSTONE NATIONAL 2 10000 BIRDS (CAN WE DO IT ? )

Pigeon racing

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Right guys we did all we could today , and only lofts to the west of us and behind us beat us today in the combine , with the combine winner being in Newcastle west so as far as our combine starches in that direction . A lot of our birds have been massively off course today and we are still 7 birds missing which is a huge disappointment if they don’t return in the morning . In saying that we are Absolutely delighted to win again today and another fed win . 1-2-3 club 1st federation

[@brianbehan1376]

Well done once again on topping the fed keep up the good work

@alibrospigeons8317 bang on mate, be nice to see a wind without east in it for a change lol🙏 atvb

[@stuartbellamy5741]

Congratulations to you & your dad Richie brilliant flying so consistent every week, Really look forward to your videos, Thank you

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Stuart that means a lot mate , really appreciate it 👍

[@stephenwright3094]

Congratulations on topping the Fed lads well done, I still say that those are some of the best birds I've seen trapping, evidenced by the one you didn't see behind you flew in over your shoulder and trapped from a ridiculous angle !! 31 mins on the video, so much more interesting on mobile phones so you can now compare other areas and estimate flight times too, enjoyed the banter today too.. always interesting but appreciate the hard work behind the racing and of course uploading the content too. Nb you can't blame the wind for the uploading time of the video though.. 😂 Thanks lads. Thumbs ip from me..

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Excellent Stephen mate , enjoyed reading that 👍

[@davidmcdonald9000]

Great video again lads , best race action as always and well done 👍 hopefully some more worked in 🤞

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Hopefully David mate , starting to worry a bit now though

[@vickyseel2982]

Another fed win 🏆 congratulations both. I'm sure you will get the 7 back, your birds are to good. BTW, vicky is me wife, I use her log in LOL, hello from Chris from Liverpool. Love the weekly videos as well as your passion

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Chris , il try and remember mate

[@wayneparker6629]

Well done both of you strange day, hope the others have dragged back all the best.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Unfortunately not Wayne , 6 gone and don’t expect anymore to return , it’s something about east winds and they end up right on the west coast and we find they never return . It’s not just ourselves but most lads we speak to havent seen a bird since Saturday .

[@billbuxton4990]

Congratulations on the club and fed win

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks bill mate

[@davidmitchard1330]

Hello Richie, good result again, your first pigeon was a long way in front. You've got know control with the weather unfortunately but you have to be pleased, hope they all work back in. Regards Dave.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Dave , 100% we did all we could mate and hopefully we get another chance this year

[@user-zt6ds7st9q]

Well done guys superb result did that Gateshead pigeon you tipped go on to top the combine good steady race that

[@alibrospigeons8317]

No he got beat in his fed , I think he’s only about 8-9th it was actually a loft even further to the west he takes 1-2-3 in combine , dream loft position on that wind

Thanks Chris 👍

[@robertbingham-9287]

Good video again guys, could feel tension through your dad, well done topping the fed hope your well up in the combine but as you said Richy wind plays a big part in where the winner comes from, hopefully the 7 missing will turn up late Saturday, Sunday,

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks rob, they seem to be in a good place at the minute, but not a single pigeon back yesterday and other lads saying the same , since 4pm on Saturday only a handful made in back in the town from what I’m hearing which is a big blow for us

[@markdavies4712]

Well done lads fantastic 👍

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks mate

[@garylloyd8358]

Congratulations another great result hopefully the others make there way back

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Gary , nothing as of yet this morning so I’m fearing there on the west coast which is usually game over for them but hopefully not

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Gary , nothing so far 🤦‍♂️

[@vickyseel2982]

Great trapping once again gentlemen, waiting in anticipation for results 👏 😀

[@alibrospigeons8317]

I’ve put it in comments Vicky , we topped fed 👍

[@raymondwilliams2604]

I would hate to be a pigeon if yer dad was a hawk! He misses nothing in that sky. All the best.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

He’s always been the same ray , like u say misses nothing mate ha

[@ianplatt8991]

Well done in the club and fed some very gappy returns in results down our way and a few with good pigeons missing

[@alibrospigeons8317]

7 here ian so a bit gutted , as they say east wind is no good for man or beast , even the Gateshead lads are saying there birds came out the west so that’s how far offline the birds were , be a few on the west coast I’d imagine

[@tedbear3120]

Great flying .

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Ted 👍

[@jock2109]

Well done lads, day was always going to favour the back marker’s to the west Richie, you can’t beat weather and winds at times

You can’t mate , we did as much as we could and I’m just grateful we topped the fed mate

Good flying lads. and well done with that yearling in the Maidstone 1 national winning the Nom. Will be watching this video later. thanks for downloading.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks Dennis 👍

[@johnmoss9197]

As per last week you were both so relaxed and confident of your birds putting in a performance this week, Richie your dad is a master with timing the dropper release, if you holiday in Spain after the season give me a call and visit, I will attempt to pick your brains though, one question as you race in a competitive area, is it widowhood or roundabout

[@alibrospigeons8317]

Thanks John and that would certainly be possible next time we holiday , it’s roundabout we race John racing in 2 clubs hens to one club and cocks to the other

In all sport we have heard of drug enhancement,do racing pigeons get tested.what drugs been used in the past.

[@alibrospigeons8317]

We have been pushing for more random tests for the last few years , currently all combine winners get tested
