Woodmanchester

Dear Me , what happened to him Stripes ? He meant no harm Stripes he certainly had an Opinion

Very Sad news RIP woodie/steve

He'd been in hospital with Covid, came out but took a turn for the worse.

To use a greyhound phrase thats desperate news.

R.I.P Woody, I am sure every doggy person on the forum sends their condolences to those who knew him away from the forum and his family.

Jeez

Had many disagreements re dogs on here with him in the past but also met and had a few drinks with him a few times on track, he did love his racing and was a nice harmless chap on person. Brought his missus with him one year to SPK, condolences to her, his family and friends.

Both he and Chris gone this year

RIP Woody

Sorry to hear that, RIP Woody.

Very sad news. R.i.p. woodmanchester.

The Derby threads will never be the same Without the Woodie portfolio , I used to rip him But was mainly in Jest,and he knew it  , and really did add a bit of fun to it all ,from what i can see the last time he posted was Derby night condolences to his wife and  family ..

thats horrible news,so sad i was a bit worried when i noticed he had not been on for a while,i had a few disagreements with him but i knew he was harmless and loved the greyhounds,really really sad news that,thoughts are with his family,god bless

Sad day
R i p

Pretty grim news that very odd he hadn’t posted in while
Met up at Wimbledon and shelbourne for pint years back
He had list on him what the boys on here back in day had backed that derby final keeping check how they did !! Lol
He liked his Ferrari's
Had he’s own OPINION , draws where nothing cos Ferrari’s chest them
Pretty much pissed up every ones legs from time to time
But he was the WOODMANCHER

Rip woody

Man City cap , wolf print tee shirt lay to rest pint pour on it !
Sad sad news

That is very sad news, RIP woody.

r.i.p very sad news far too young

Had many disagreements with him but respected him for his love of the game. R.I.P. Woody.

Such sad news,i think we all had disagreemenets with him at some time or other but jeez you couldnt do anything but admire his relentless passion for the game (and the forum!)

Sincere condolensces to his family and friends,if theres anything set up in respect of donations etc we can do in woodys name pls post on here guys.

RIP Woody,the forum wont be the same without you thats for sure!

if this is not a reality check for a lot of people on here i don't know what is and that includes me.a lot of people had a go at steve on here including me words are cheap life is precious r.i.p steve

i actually thought roxholme kristof in the stayers final finished him off when he did not post for a while.....shame to hear covid actually did.......as fatty said did love a ferrari and an anti-post favourite and of course losers didnt count in the multiple derby lists......very sad news for his family and friends and i agree with patrick regards tributes and will gladly contribute to see him off in style.......

can only echo all the comments above lads
RIP woody

Very sad news at a sad time RIP Woody.

Shocking news was always a trier RIP woody this place wont be the same without you run free

First person I know who has been taken by this Virus if only through our posts on here

if anyone can get his families details we could send a card with a few quid , or perhaps if they

would like us to donate to a charity Let us know ..

Ill start a new Derby thread in his name when we know what the new track is , We can keep the

thread for all Derbys going forward ..He would like that Probably take a few to get up

to the Number of selections Woodie would have had for one

E Mail read out on RPGTV

What did it say?

terrible news
rip  woody
he kept this forum going at times  and you could tell just what the game meant to him

goodness me we'll miss him one of the best as somebody has already mentioned is sad sad news.

About what happened and pass on condolence from everyone on here.

Very sad, RIP.

R.I.P. Woodie.  You loved the greyhound racing and that was good enough for me.

contacted owlerton with a view to sponsor a race in woodys memory they replied and said at the moment they are doing no sponsorship
i am keen at some stage to get a race sponsored in his memory i thought owlerton fitting as he frequented there
other than that i am prepared to get involved with any of you that might also wish to maybe a purchase of a hound and call it woody steve

i ripped the sh1te out of him had my reasons considering his calling but he did love the hound and the lambo but far to young i will miss him

I'd be willing to get involver with a descent dog to be named in his memory, used to have a bit of banter with him at Sheffield on big finals nights.

Just found out now ,so sorry R.I.P

I used to give him plenty of stick, one thing it has made me realise is, why? He was offering an opinion, that should have been it, I will not have a pop at anyone again for offering an opinion, not even Mr Birch, life is for living, woody, if you are reading this upstairs, I am sorry, far too young to be taken away, most of us on here are around the same age, it could happen to any of us, RIP woody.

If we are doing anything let us know we can all send a few quid

TBH dept I don't think he seen too many of your replies

Let me know wedge i put few quid to sponsor race at sheffield.

Some "descent" comments here which I find very welcome.  Maybe we can all have a think and start afresh?
What would we call the race?
The woody "scattergun" stakes?
The woody "blocker" open?
The woody "It's Agueroooooo" sweepstakes?

Awful news,never met him but could sense from his posts on this forum how much he loved his greyhounds.
I will miss his passion for the sport.
RIP Woodmanchester,wherever you are I hope every ante post bet you have is a winner.

Just read this. Very sad and echo all the heartfelt comments on here. RIP Woodie

Thinking of doing a gofundme page to the RGT in woodies name not sure how it all works people could send a couple of quid and going to a doggie

cause .

Retired Greyhounds?

Yes retired greyhound trust , or are there any other suggestions ?

I would wholeheartedly agree with the greyhound trust.

Ill contact them let them know we are doing it

case, Who do you have to contact and how does this sort of thing work?

Never knew the guy, seemed a real greyhound enthusiast, disgraceful the way he was bullied on this forum.
I real tribute would be closing it down,I hope some are totally ashamed of themselves

malay
define the accusation of bullying
i for one ripped the sh1te out of him that i admit
reason being he was supposed to be an journalist
red rag to a bull with me
also as 88 odd percent of replies on here to him were supposedly blocked how the heck could he know
he was being vilified
will miss the silly oaf thou and intend to do something about it
not out of any form of guilt
but as a tribute to what he was
i will cease now

if the cap fits, wear it wedge1, ?

i'm not interested in reviewing everybodys posts to define who was guilty cos most times i read the abuse i was disgusted with it,

as i said, i didnt know the old lad, God rest him, he seemed a real greyhound enthusiast, there isn't many of us left unfortunately, maybe we should stick together

but he was definitely bullied no doubt about that, no idea whether you were involved as the names who done it are as insignificant as were there vile attacks then and now.

Erm there have been no Vile attacks on this Thread , I ripped woody on Occasions he knew it was in Jest , Some people were over the top ,Woodie blocked them , Woodie was no angel himself and
would bring on some of the actions that were against Him , I found him amuzing 90 % of the time
but he could be annoying ,and the constant bickering between him and irish had been going on years , and it was from both sides .

I said nothing to woodie I would not say to others .

As Dept said earlier in the Thread there are none of us Getting any younger and perhaps we could all act with a bit more sense , and as you say yourself maybe we should stick together..

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/colin-clarke8

Thats a fund raising page ,I have set a grand target money goes to Greyhound trust

If you can give it Glance over Winja I think i have done it right Pmsl

I have just left is as woodies wish  as that is how most of knew Him

Seems very strange and sad to be doing it TBH

Going forward When I start next years Derby thread we can all sling a fiver or summat  on one we fancy for Woodie , He will end up with about 50 selections
so there will be no Change there

Come on woody was ****g basket case
Pissed off so many people on here it’s unbelievable
Him side show Bob Irish left many on here
Bitter taste
We even moved to get away from it one stage ffs
But like many have said life to short
Hang ups with rights and wrongs
He be having his 5p on trap 1 up in the sky
God rest his soul

come on lads let's have some respect please. let the man rest in peace close this thread now,start another thread for giving page

i think woody would be thrilled that after hes gone people are still commenting on him,hit me really hard when i heard the news even though i never met him,life is too short,it would be a better world if we all just got along,i am pretty sure he will be reading this upstairs,god bless

Lads this is very disrespectful to a dead man, i will open up a bullying thread if anyone wishes to have a serious debate. Woody R I P

ironic irishone . as you above all else were by far the worst in ripping into woody , i hope in future you learn from your disgusting behaviour

thought this was typical woodie thread so did not bother to open it....very sad to read news above. he divided opinion but end of day he loved greyhounds. rip woodmanchster.

https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/colin-clarke8

Anyone wants to donate that's the Link  think we will leave it at that for now 

Woodie gone but certainly not forgotten . Any donations will do a bit of good in his Name .

RIP mate

Be respectful please enough is enough he seemed a good lad let's start by stopping the crap I'm very happy to put a few quid in let's get it on the telly personally I think a sponsored race Sheffield would have been ideal if they don't want it somebody else will I love Donnie by the way. In better times we could have all met up for a snifter or two at the dogs he would have loved that.

well done for setting this up nanny.....we can all relate to contributing to the RGT and it would be good if between now and Christmas we can get plenty of donations of any size as they all count.... to both get the target matched while seeing woody away in style.........

I have to comment here.  I can't believe some of the two-faced horse chit coming out here from people who openly bullied and abused the man.  It's pathetic.  I don't know how he took because I certainly wouldn't have - from anyone.  All you bullies should be disgucted with yourselves.  End of.
R.I.P. woodie and thanks for being a decent guy and a committed forumite.
Best wishes to his family and to his friends.

agree

Sorry not read this topic for a few days, i'm sure he will be chuffed that money is going to the greyhound trust.

Donations from family and friends are going to the Mind charity.

Sad news,enjoyed his rambling now and again RIP.

Thread up on Greyhound Scene.....Irishone especially not getting a great press over there!

Hopefully some will put a few quid in the Kitty see if we can make the Grand .

57 No age

Wonder if the Trust would send a thank you card to his Family ?

Very sad news R.I.P.

Awfully sad news RIP Woody. I loved his boundless enthusiasm and how he took all that stick relatively well. Obviously loved the sport. Condolences to his family.
