Summary

Meet Les Green. Head of the most potent pigeon racing team in the UKknown in pigeon racing circles as The Mafia. Given the chance, and if they werent so damn good, the RPRA (Royal Pigeon Racing Association) would ban them from competing. This conflict forms the backdrop as we follow Les from his legendary coop in North Manchester to the National Pigeon Racing convention in Blackpool; on to the $250,000 Las Vegas classic; and finally to take part in the ultimate pigeon racethe $1 million bonanza in Sun City, South Africa. A Very British Coop is also the first insight into a global pursuit which blurs hobby and sport, sees pigeons flown first-class round the world before changing hands for over $100,000, and where grown men will stop at nothing to see their bird flying into sight first.
