Workington absentees?

[singy13]

I enjoy reading the 'speedway forum', with particular interest in the Workington Comets stories.

However since a couple of years back, approx, two of my favourite reads have just disappeared from the 'forum'.

Don't see any posts now from Jenga or TotallyHonestJohn......I always enjoyed the lengthy, and informative, input from the latter.

I wonder if they are posting now under a different id?

Does anyone else miss the two I've mentioned? Or does anyone know if they do post under other id?

Or am I alone in this respect?

Not sure about jenga but thj had a fallout with the whole sport not just the comets if he or anyone he knows sees this wish him well !

Yes, wonder what happened to them total opposites Jenga more a wind up merchant and THJ very much in the know remember he thought I was someone else be good to find out

As mentioned in an earlier post, THJ became disillusioned with certain aspects of the sport. Be good to see him posting again, as he didn't pull any punches, & was very witty.

As already mentioned THJ had a big fall out with speedway in the grant era at Newcastle,  was a good sponsor to speedway in all areas not just Newcastle and worky. Was living part time I  scaryport,  wonder if anyone local has seen him.

As for jenga not heard a peep for a while

Because there is a reasonably new member who posts with remarkably similar traits/characteristics.

@j2ohh just lost his password, thought that was obvious 😆

Also prob some posters, like me, who read the forum everyday but don't necessarily have time to chime in or new info to contribute....

THJ really wound up a few posters but I got on really well with him, We exchanged many private messages and he is a loss to this forum.

I don't post that much but have been on the forum for many years now, having worked in the sport, sponsored a lot of riders over the years.

As on the terraces, we have lost so many people on this platform over the years, some passed, some have just drifted away from the sport.

This place is a sad reflection of how our sport has declined really and that's nothing against the BSF, just how it is..

RIP Shazzybird and London Witch, just two good friends lost..

Had some good banter with THJ a few years ago on here, think had a similar level of sarcasm, was he not in the best health either a few years ago?

Lost friends always sad, especially as a lot of us are long term fans and we're all getting old/older.  First time I went was  55 years ago, so if I disappear off here, you probably know what's happened. On that joyous note.....

Happy Christmas to you all 😅.

Thj was a really knowledgeable bloke concerning northern issues with clubs , a really nice person to know also. Hope all's well with him.

Jenga is still about, he is too thick to hide it.
