Great pics Ant, bet you had a great weekend?
Looks like you had great weather for Lier Market too.
Went there twice, had brilliant trips with some great memories. What a great venue too, remember buying two Schellen cocks off a local, he had a basket on the back of his push bike. The two blue cocks were big powerful birds, and both won on the road, not bad for £15 each, or in my case both for £25

Expensive pigeons don't guarantee anything, especially on the road. Yes,proven breeders are a different kettle of fish, and can demand higher prices.Anthony webster wrote: Wed Mar 04, 2026 5:02 amBrilliant that is a old friend he passed away he bought a grizzle out of lier market 25 quid won him loads including the Kent invicta combine from le man's on a tough horrible day north east n cold all the way including across the sea but she did it and won it well.The Maltster wrote: Tue Mar 03, 2026 8:18 am Great pics Ant, bet you had a great weekend?

But what's not to like about buying pigeons you like at bargain bucket prices.
Loved walking round Lier market, on our first trip, we got there and fanciers were walking round with torches, it was that dark, probably 6am?
My late Dad says, look at them daft buggers, leave em to it,we're going for a breakfast and a beer.
What an experience that was, we sat there in the pub/ cafe which I believe was also the local pigeon club HQ?Eating brekkie, sipping beer, and the locals ( who had been there all night) were playing cards.
Fanciers were passing the yb's they'd purchased around the tables, they were shavings and droppings on the tables, nobody bothered
I also remember seeing a load of baskets stacked up in the square, these were the young birds pre booked by them top Derbyshire fanciers the Gaunts.
Also remember hunting down the red hat man, to sort our paperwork out, he was a top bloke, great to talk to.
Happy mories indeed.
