Re: Ideas for site revamp?


Well, hopefully it will change now racing is more or less over.
The 3 lads that left the site were absolute authorities on anything pigeons and had incredible credentials to back it up. They helped everyone but the downside for them was that there was not enough ppl to discuss things at their ...
