Default Is Pigeon Racing a Sport?
BBC NEWS | England | Tyne | Bird racers' rates plea to Queen

It would appear not, however, under section 6.1 of HMRC it shows that for the purposes of VAT, darts IS classified as sport (or physical recreation)

Hate pigeons.Especially the ones in our town centre on a Saturday that peck at pools of Friday night vomit.

Are the Pigeons actually doing the racing or do the Pigeons release a load of old blokes and see who gets home first ?
