BCFC76 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 It is very difficult for me to say on this fantastic forum about my Dad who love Bristol City very much and been supporting them since early 70s. Sadly, my Dad was passed away yesterday after he lost his battle with very rare cancer. He was 68 just two days before his 69th birthday. He was season ticket holder with me in Landsown Stand Lower A4 seat 25 in Disabled Bay. He sat with me (I am wheelchair user). He missed whole season this season cos he wasn't well enough to go to Ashton Gate to cheer his beloved team. He always get excited to go to the match with me and have a good old pint of ciders on pre-match. His favourite player was Chris Garland, Gerry Gow, Clive Whitehead and Joe Jordan. Now it is going to be hard for me when I go back to Ashton Gate without my Dad. Cos I have got no ones to come with me as regular. My Dad will be missed.

Lanterne Rouge Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 What can I say mate? That is awful news. Just try and stay strong and take care of yourself and I hope that he thought of thousands of fellow Reds thinking of you and your poor dad is some comfort.

RedM Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 My deepest condolences to you @BCFC76. You sound like you have made some wonderful memories which will stay with you forever. Having lost both parents myself, who were huge City fans too, be assured that they never really are far away. Especially when you are at places you used to go together like football. It’s been a few years since I lost my Dad,who just about the only thing I had in common was him was football, I used to phone him as soon as I got home from the match and tell him about it. I still miss doing that but have found other ways, if we score a great goal I look to the skies and silently say ‘ you would have enjoyed that one Dad’. You will find a way too. Take care, we are all thinking of you until the time we can go ‘home’ again. It’s going to be quite emotional for all sorts of reasons.

Unan Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Rest in peace, I know it means nothing at this point but, in the future, City & Ashton Gate will be a huge positive & a great memory for your father, so try not to see coming to the Gate as a bad thing. I understand that's impossible at the moment. If there is anything you need then we are all here to help our fellow reds in time of need, don't hesitate to ask.

I know your Saturday rituals will never be the same but you will be back there one day soon and he'll be there in spirit right next to you, everytime you watch. How absolutely right. I was taken at a tender age of 8 to stand on a wooden stool made by dad and placed in front of the Cowshed (Old Stand) Dad was the instigator, as his dad was with him, of my lifelong love affair with Bristol City FC. Take Heart @BCFC76 that your dad will be looking down with all our dads every matchday to follow our beloved team when this pandemic is over and he will be just one cheer from you as we enjoy our football at our beloved home.

WECANDO Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 These things hurt like hell. The trouble is we all take if for granted that our Mums and Dads will always be there. When they pass on its not expected and we miss them badly. But when we get this horrible virus out of the way and footy is back to normal, get down to the Gate and shout your head off for the team as you did with Dad next to you. He'll be up above willing you to enjoy the match as you did with him. COYRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
