Back yard pigeon racing for anyone with the time and resources seldom have the financial resources to compete at a club level. Costs of timers, loft, feed, and upkeep. Along with gasoline costs to train, etc., very few young people, who would be the backbone of future club racing simply cannot afford to dedicate all their earnings to the hobby when it seldom reaps any rewards except a piece of paper saying they had a bird that did well. Love for the birds alone is not a strong incentive. One loft races will thrive, but no one can swear that they are being run on the up-and-up anymore. Greed has taken over in most of those.
