Sad News - Our friend, Roydo

[Tim's tourettes]

When my Dad passed and was brought home from the hozzie to the local funeral directors the same day a Thrush that he used to sit and watch through his back door - and said he hadn't seen for a couple of years before his passing - suddenly reappeared, bounced it's way down the garden path right up to the back door and stayed there for several minutes just staring in before retreating and flying away. This was a bitterly cold, early January in 2010 when snow/ice was prevalent so unusual to see a recognisable Thrush that time year. It gave us all great comfort that Dad was still around to let us know he was still around!

Love that mate.

I'd like to add despite the Easter Island disappointment thing he was more than adequate company on every other level, in fact I'd go as far as saying he's bloody lovely and I defo would bum his head raaaaar in.

I'm no expert mate but I think you're doing it wrong.

So very sorry and sad to read this,
Sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
Rest in peace Mark.

Very sorry to hear this. Not had a huge amount of interaction but always enjoyed his input. Rest in peace.

... although Everton don't guarantee a message to be featured, they've indicated they might like to attend that game - but as we know, tickets aren't the easiest to grab these days. I have 4/season tickets but they are the back row, my mid 30s year old knees struggle and so I wouldn't expect Marks mum to trek it.

If they do come (I think 2, but will check) I don't suppose anyone with accessible tickets would be willing to swop their tickets for Burnley, with mine? They're not obstructed, it's just a lot of stairs.

Maybe @alan ball or @Tom Hughes can help?

I regularly have 1 or 2 spares. Park End Row R. I can make sure that they're available, if required.... (and if that location would suit his family).

I would be willing to trade some seats.

I currently have 4 tickets for that game, all 4 in the GSE, 2 in prime seats at the front and another 2 in BB, currently only 3 of us are going, but im dragging the wife along kicking and screaming, so could also have a spare. Let me know if any help is needed.

I can give you access to mine. I can't help with the stairs as it's TB3. More than welcome to it though.

Chatting to a Blue outside Goodison when my lad was small, he asked where our tickets were and we told him “Top Balcony”; he said to my lad “You can see the curvature of the earth from up there lad” this in full on best Scouse. I think my lad believed him.
