Sad passing of a loyal blue Eccles Blue

[1961_vintage]

Incredibly sad news.

You only had to see this anywhere on the Forum and know it was Sheila aka Eccles Blue posting:

"MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD".

Kind, gentle and funny, we've lost a big part of our community today.

RIP lovely lady.

Gutted, truly awful news, I thought she was bloody ace tbh and will miss her, condolences to her family and friends. This place won't be quite the same without her.

God bless you Sheila

Rip love.

R.I.P. Sheila. A great and clearly well respected character on here.

Really hope somebody can get a message to John Stones.

RIP Eccles , will be sadly missed by all , my sincere condolences to all her family and friends.

Fitting that John Stones was still a City player if I may be so bold at her passing.

RiP eccles, no doubt you will be watching your beloved blues from the kippax in the sky. Condolences to her family and friends. Xxxxx

So sorry to hear. Rip.

Such sad news. Sheila was always so positive about City, and things in general. She was a breath of fresh air on this forum, if things were going badly on the pitch.

RIP Eccles, many condolences to her friends and family.

Sad to hear this. Been at work all day and had a message from a friend when I came out informing me. Lots of lovely tributes on here. Such a shame, great that she got to see the best of City.
Hope there's a rousing chorus of 'City, City the best team in the land and all the world' for her at the weekend. I am sure she'll be watching up above with all the other blues, including my dad.

So sad to hear this. RIP Eccles Blue, you will be missed x

I think she would have smiled at the thought that she was able to completely unify hundreds and hundreds of BlueMoon posters on a single thread with no arguments. I hope her family have access to this thread to see how much love and affection there was for a special person.

RIP Sheila

We all know why the results happened the way they did this weekend too.

God’s getting her *death stare* until we win the league.

Like many, never met the lady but read many of her always considered posts.
Says a great deal that there are 20 pages of tributes on the day of this sad news being posted.
RIP

I am really sad to hear this. She was a true supporter who was always positive and raised my spirits when I saw her posts. I am so glad that we won a trophy just before she passed away as I know she would have enjoyed that result immensely.
I will miss her posts - RIP to a true blue.

Really sad to read this news.

Same as many others, I never met her but always read her well thought out, respectful posts - she was often the voice of reason

R.I.P Eccles Blue

 

[ninjamonkey]

Didn't know her outside of a very recognisable poster on here but clearly a top blue. sad news, hopefully she had a good innings, condolences to all that knew her.

 

[chesterbells]

Ah, no. Feel like it was only 5 mins ago that I was interacting with her on here. I didn’t know her personally, but you didn’t need to, to realise what a lovely person she must have been. So, so sad. My condolences to her family.
Many fine and heartfelt tribute posts on this thread.
Well done everyone x
