Just a quick post

Anybody still thinking of donating or wanting to donate to the site. Please fire it towards Mrs HW as she has now started her challenge

I'm sure it will help her get through the miles

Just 80 quid short of 3k now, great effort.

Im sorry to need to post this, but over the weekend, Neils daughter was in touch with an update on her dads health

Quote

Hi, just thought I would update you on my dad. Over the past few weeks he’s deteriorated quite a bit and he had an appointment at The Christie today in which they told us they can’t do anything else for him. We aren’t sure how much longer he has left. It’s been a hard day but we would like to thank you and the rest of wanderers ways for everything you’ve done for us x

Im sure the support for Marias run has been a small comfort for the family at this diffcult time

Absolutely heartbreaking

Just so sad for Neil & his family. I hope they know what this place means to so many people & that despite the nonsense that sometimes occurs WWays has been a source for good in so many ways... That in itself is a small legacy for Neil to leave.

Such sad news.known Neil for yonks.

Gutted for Neil and his family. He had provided a lot of folk with a lot of laughs and a lot of friendships. For that, we'll always be grateful.

Terrible news update. 

Must say though, Neils Mrs and daughter sound like amazing ladies.

[RUREADY2ROLL]

So sad; didn’t know Neil but he sounds a wonderful man who has a lovely family.

Goodness. Those ladies are amazing and so strong. He must be so proud of them 😢

[Spider]

Gutted. This is the place he created and it’s amazing to be part of it.

Hope all the support his family have been shown is in some way comforting right now.

Thoughts with them all.

Gutted to read that update. Love and best wishes to Neil and his family. Hope they get as much time together as possible.

Never met or knew Neil but I know what a wonderful thing he did with WW.

Let’s hope he spends as much quality time he can with his loved ones.

Only met Neil once and briefly when I won some tickets to a game via WW.

So sad to hear this news, he created the biggest and best Bolton Wanderers forum going.

I really hope he can spend as much quality time with his family as possible.

[MancWanderer]

So, so sad to hear the update.

Lost for words to be honest 😞

Hope his last days are peaceful and painless, heart breaking news. Thoughts with Neil’s family.

Much love to Neil and his family.  Was a pleasure to share his company, and yes Warwick Rimmer was the best ever name in football.

Heartbreaking

Sad news 😞

I remember way back when I was a member of a couple of Bolton forums that no longer exist....after a bit of research looking for another I learned that Wanderersways had more members than any other football club forum in the world . So I joined .

There was a European cup game that I couldnt get to , and Happy called me personally to tell me that he would get me on a chartered flight . He didnt know me , I didnt know him other than as an admin on here. But sure as shit ...a man of his word he got me there and back . 

He will never remember me , but I will always remember him !

Thankyou  Happy !

Oh dear, really sad to read. Thoughts with Neil and his family. 

[gonzo]

Absolutely heartbreaking. Like said above I hope the rest of his time is as peaceful and pain-free as possible. 

Love to all x

So sad to hear this. Very best wishes to Neil and family.
