RIP Shaky

I read much of the link too, and had a similar thought to deepdaledes as I read about the responses to the dreadful news from his friends from Shaky's "other woman" - Hound Trailing, as opposed to PNE.
I read of how keen David was to bring 'new blood' into the appreciation and love of Hound Trailing, a sport / pastime I'm sure most forum members who have written on this thread, like me, know not the slightest thing about.
In this year, especially being Guild Year, would it at all be possible for us to forge a link with our fellow mourners in the Hound Trailing community in Cumbria to stage some kind of a demonstration trail event in Preston at some point over the summer? Of course, we don't have the scenery or terrain which all the dogs would expect to encounter on a run out, but would the expanse of Moor Park do for a demonstration event? Between volunteer members of pne-online, we could surely fix up negotiations with PCC and find a way through the red tape of the HSE to do something, in the shadows of the STFS, and the Cumbrians (and former North Lancastrians!) can set the trail, bring the dogs and bookies and any other paraphanalia I know dick shit about that a meeting might require. Crickey, if even a quarter of the folk who've posted on this thread showed up to this demonstration event, there'd be plenty of the 'mug-punters' that Shaky so missed that would not regret losing a few fivers here and there.
It's just a concept, and I am without a shadow of a doubt 'the most clueless of fuckers' about what the sport entails (eg, is there a purse for the winning dog?) but there must surely be some merit in bringing a new sport to Preston in Guild Year. It would make Shaky's day, I imagine, to see a Hound Trail in the morning, then nip over Sir Tom Finney Way to see some ice skating from a goalkeeper in the afternoon. In the process and after such a taster, some of the spectators like me, might be encouraged to go and up spend an occasional afternoon in God's country and watch the real thing.

Let the hounds loose in St Georges on a Saturday morning........now that would be entertaining!

How about 11 hounds turning out for us on Saturday - they can't do much worse than the players and it would probably be more entertaining to watch 😉 Perhaps Ridsdale could talk one of them into becoming our new manager?

Double..I read the thread title Monday morning and thought ( n Australia outta the loop shit fan like) Lonnergan must of made the England squad or summat. Then reading.....I've never met the guy but besides differing views and shit he always came across to me as a good guy...and I've used some of his quotes often.
I but I really think the thread should be removed..the Bint started it right and we do not need to know the gory details.


RIP Shaky you old mucker and God bless you and your family.

Can anyone spot the deliberate mistake 😉

So many have asked so I've checked and his family are ok with this being on here.

Funeral is to be held on Friday 20th at St Mary's Catholic Church in Ulverston at 11:45. Cremation after at the Crematoriums in Barrow. His wake is to be held in the Farmers Arms in Ulverston.

Please wear "what the hell you want". Shaky's wife is wearing te outfit he used to take her out for cocktails in on a Sunday aft. I will probably go in my PNE shirt... As this is what reminds me of him.

Anyone wanting more details please let me know. His wife is grateful to everyone.

Sorry for the impersonal notification
