I realise that it's a dangerous precedent to set, but it'd be nice if someone on here who has connections at the club could get in touch with John, and see if he could make contact with the family. Even just sending a sympathy card. Yes; I realise that you'd get people saying "you did it for her, why not for my mum".
In a way, I'm pleased that she won't be around when JS leaves the club. I think she'd have beendevastated at the news.In this instance I think the admiration from EB was so strong that it almost has to be commemorated in some way. This wasn't just a passing obsession. I'm sure any player would feel warm inside at having received such love from a fan.
I actually sent an email to the club early on when Sheila said she wasn't able to renew her season ticket next season due to her failing health, I explained her situation and her love for Stones and asked if the club could send it on. Didn't get a reply so damned if I know if it was acted on.I realise that it's a dangerous precedent to set, but it'd be nice if someone on here who has connections at the club could get in touch with John, and see if he could make contact with the family.

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.
Great post boss. Good to know she died peacefully with dignity and with so much love from Bluemooners.Had a nice email from her son this morning to say that the family have seen the thread and found it heartwarming to read the many messages about Sheila. He said she found a great deal of happiness, comfort & fun in the forum.
She struggled to get to games towards the end, but apparently the club (Danny Wilson & his team) were brilliant with her, offering parking passes etc. For all the stick the club gets sometimes, it's worth remembering they do an awful lot of stuff like this under the radar that they don't seek attention for.
She passed away peacefully in hospital on Easter Monday after catching pneumonia. She was 84 years old and is survived by her 4 kids, 8 grandkids, 5 great grandkids, 5 brothers & 1 sister. Funeral arrangements are still to be finalized but can be passed on for anyone wishing to attend.
A few people have asked about donations for a charity/cause close to her heart, or possibly for flowers at the funeral. Will keep you posted on that.
That's great to hear Ric, thanks for letting us all know.Had a nice email from her son this morning to say that the family have seen the thread and found it heartwarming to read the many messages about Sheila. He said she found a great deal of happiness, comfort & fun in the forum.

I know from posts between you that you were kindred spirits.
Sending peace, strength and love to you as well as @Eccles Blue family and friends.

Sadly I heard yesterday from a friend who goes on the bus from monton that Eccles Blue sadly passed away. Before her bad health started Sheila travelled home and away and liked to come on Bluemoon to support her beloved blues.
Sheila was a lovely likeable lady and will be sadly missed by all that knew her.
God bless She. True blue.
