UkPigeonRacing

What's members other hobbies outside pigeon racing.

Me and my sons pass the time doing hunting from October to February

I would say watching Liverpool but with the way there playing now I'm not that interested

Good to do things Iv hunted since I can remember my dad carried me on he's shoulders iv taken my boys since they could walk but now there big lads I try running and keeping up with them but time is creeping up on me now
It's funny tho
Most the lads I know through pigeons I met years ago hunting but were all pigeon men as well .

Rugby both league and Union. Was 9 years a personal trainer too so try to keep myself in half decent shape when the body allows Watch a fair bit of horse racing too, enjoy following the form and that but very very rarely have a bet. Avid Leeds United supporter too for me sins

Not dirty Leeds Goose
Rugby league down here wasn’t ever popular and isn’t now but I have always enjoyed watching league over union
I can watch a league match between club teams but do tend to switch off from union unless it’s a England game

Yep everyone loves Leeds
Yeah Rugby league in particular really big round here pal. The club where me old boy, myself and our loft partner (he scored 2 tries in national Cup final few years back) played is literally a minute off me house. I ran the gym for them for 9 years a very well run club. Can't recruit kids the same now though unfortunately, they just don't want the commitment. It's the same with the local village cricket team, it's only about 10 years since they played in a national amateur final at Lords and they can barely raise a team now. Sad to be honest but sign of the times.

Spot on pal I'm pleased as long as he's enjoying it and as you say letting off some steam

Crickets same here just one team now use to have 3 within 3/4 miles of me

It’s strange as when I was over Chorley wood which is between west London and Heathrow each day there must have been 30/40 little ones playing cricket during summer holidays

Good that it still sounds popular there. Nowt better than seeing kids out playing something or having a hobby.
