Very sad news. She was quite a character on here. RIP Eccles Blue.

Very sad news, she seemed extremely positive and enthusiastic about everything City related even when the chips were down and appeared to absolutely adore the club and her fellow supporters. The forum will unquestionably be a worse place without her.

RIP EB

Really sad news. My son and I sat next to her at an away match at Hull and she was lovely. She was a legend on BM, as passionate about the blues than anyone but with high standards in how she conducted herself.
I regret that I left it too late to say, Sheila, take a bow. I had a lot of respect for her.
RIP Sheila.

Only just read this !!

Gutted …. A nicer blue you couldn’t find.

I knew she’d been poorly but she always posted positive stuff about herself and City and was self deprecating in an entertaining way that was heart warming for blue moon.

Will be truly missed .

Barmy bugger. It’s still a muffin Sheila .

You saw us win the lot !

Respect ! Bless you and rest in peace Sheila a proper blue . Sad day .

I found this from one of her posts. EB with her favourite player, Richard Dunne.

Have read every post on this thread, smiling with teary eyes even though I never met Eccles Blue.

Always enjoyed reading her ever positive posts.

Good night and god bless to the lady with a big blue heart

Sincerest condolences to all family, friends and fellow members of bluemoon.

C'mon blue boys you now have a greater reason to bring home the domestic treble this season.

Would be a fitting tribute to Eccles Blue from the best team in the land and all the world.

I was going to post Shiela’s last post, but this one, her 3rd last post is a belter!

In total she posted 23,588 times and received 32,084 likes which says a lot about what she posted and our thoughts of her comments.

@r.soleofsalford @Ric Is there an online obituary of her somewhere?

Since so many blues liked her, might be nice of us to pay respects to the family and tell them how much she meant to us all!

My mate Gary rang me up to inform me of Sheilas passing, first girl join the past heros and bask in that great bluemoon in the sky. You will be missed on here, as you had no malice and just loved Manchester City. Loved the parody we had with Johnny boy, playing on the Misery theme and the odd pm now and again.
Will miss you girl, sleep on blue fluffy clouds XXX

Cheers Gary and Fa cup and Lightsaber

RIP Lady Blue.

Sad sad say, she will be sadly missed, especially for her John Stones tributes.

Such sad news, Eccles Blue was the best of Blues fans. Hope all her family and friends know how loved, admired and respected she was.
RIP Sheila sleep tight.

PS forgot to say the sheer joy of reading Eccles' stirring battle cries on the match day threads, especially those Specsavers needing poltroons of arbitration who could've walk straight if they tried! Sheila, you had a way with words, many of them wonderfully archaic x
