petebww Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Very sad news. I never met Neil but I am grateful for what he did setting this site up. I've lived away from Bolton for the last 10+ years but reading this site always reminded me of home. Thank you Neil. RIP. Quote
Traf Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 I can't/won't make it to the funeral, but I shall stop for a quiet moment of reflection at 11 on Tuesday and raise a glass to him. Quote

Site Supporter victor meldrew Posted November 11, 2021 Site Supporter Posted November 11, 2021 question, if anyone is going to the church, are you wearing formal or wanderers shirts, i will go with the majority Quote
Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 11, 2021 Site Supporter Posted November 11, 2021 I’ll be formal because I’ll be at another funeral at 12.30 (so church, not crem for me) Quote
Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted November 11, 2021 Site Supporter Posted November 11, 2021 I don't know anyone but I'm going to try to get to the church. I'm not football shirt shaped so it will be ordinary garb. Quote
Freddie Hill Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 RIP Neil, you will be sorely missed. Condolences to family and friends. Quote
Electric Gretar Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Not been on posting for a while, heard off a friend, such sad news this. Met Neil a handful of times when I won tickets or just bumped into him. Top fella! Thanks for creating this site which has produced some fine threads over the years and no doubt many more to come.  RIP pal x Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Extremely sad news. Our founder - the gaffer. Can't add more than others have already wrote. R.I.P Happy Wanderer and condolences and thoughts to family and friends. Â Quote
Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 13, 2021 Site Supporter Posted November 13, 2021 Strange that despite the club having an obituary on their website, they omitted his name at half-time when listing those fans recently deceased. Quote

From there we will be going to Radcliffe crematorium for 12.30pm. There’s not going to be any wake afterward as that would have been my dads worst nightmare 🤣. Please let WW know, you’re all more than welcome x Do we have our own wake? Astley Bridge CC? Pineapple? Quote
Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 16, 2021 Site Supporter Posted November 16, 2021 What’s the plan? Attend the church but leave the crem to family and close friends or attend both if you’re able?  Quote
