EnderMB Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 My uncle passed away a few weeks ago from cancer, and his funeral is in around a week. He was a big Bristol City fan, and would go to matches all the time with his dad, so for the funeral they're requested that people wear red, preferably City shirts. Thanks to work, I don't go to as many City games as I had liked, so I don't have this years kit, and the only City shirt I still have is the Purple shirt from a while back. Unless I'm the luckiest guy in the world, there's no way that the club are going to start selling the new shirts from today, so if I want to wear a City shirt I'll have to buy this seasons shirt. I'd be happy to do it for a one-time wear if it were cheap, but the shirt is still £45 in the City shop. I'd borrow one, but the only guys I know that support City are either fat or don't have the shirt either. Does anyone know of a place to get a cheap City shirt, even if it's second-hand?

sh1t_ref_again Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi When I started reading I thought you may have been talking about my neighbour, mate and season ticket holder who sat next to me Martin, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago and will be cremated next Monday, his life was also cut short by cancer and will greatly missed by his family and friends. I have an old city shirt that is a large that you are very welcome to, RIP you uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle's name was John, in case anyone knew him. 17 minutes ago, Bar BS3 said: I should think he’s probably still a medium..! Haha, I've just come back to the office with a McDonalds breakfast, so a few more days of this and I might not look too silly in a large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted June 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 When I started this thread, I honestly didn't expect so many people to offer their expensive shirts in response to one man that needed a shirt for a few hours. Thank you all so much! I went with @Olé's idea and went onto ebay yesterday. There are a few shirts for sale on there, and I've bought an older medium shirt from there for a fiver. I still need to hear back from the buyer about delivery, but I should have one in time for the wedding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
