I must admit I haven’t had it for a few years now. It will be a shame but it has mainly just become an advertisement tool for those selling pigeons and supplements. There was the odd decent article. Nowadays so much is on line anyway.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

I got it wrong. I haven’t ever had the pigeon racing weekly. It was the British homing world I had. I stopped long before it went online.

Very sad to read this, unfortunately another sign of the decline in the number of fanciers around these days. I have to say back in the 80s & 90s I used to get all 3, the Racing pigeon, Racing pigeon Pictorial and the BHW. I am planning on getting the British Homing world again this year although I don't particularly like the current format of the paper so might just get it on line !!
