Diego_Sideburns Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Bill Shankly's often misquoted words are: 'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that'. I have kept telling people that the news immediately following last Wednesday's Planning Committee meeting, that TTA were giving up and that was effectively the end of the Club as we know it, was like hearing that someone close was on a life support system, waiting for it to be switched off. Thankfully, things look a lot more rosy now. I have received the bad news that my Uncle died in Oldham this morning. My Aunt said that she managed to read to him my letter in Friday's Chron before he died, which has reduced me to tears! I said what we're doing on OWTB pales into insignificance by comparison, but she is fully behind the campaign. I'll continue with our work today, but I'll be in Oldham tomorrow helping her with all the formalities. Therefore I shall be offline and may have to stay overnight, but I'll let I_C have a mobile number. The fight goes on.........my Uncle would have wanted it!

leeslover Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Sorry to hear that Terry. Thank God we have people like you, Alec1954 and others with knowledge of how this whole business works, but family is the most important thing. We'll have a brick in the new stadium with your Uncle's name on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks again for your messages. The funeral is on Friday so I shall take that day off from campaigning. I'm pleased to be able to report that the rarely wrong Chron has not made any errors in all the obituary notices relating to my late Uncle.
