    Witnessed some 1.30am bin action last night/this morning.

    Two trips at that time, loud enough to wake me up.

    Blatantly nefarious.

    Morning all
    Found out this morning that my mum,sister and wife have been keeping from me how bad my old mans health has got.He’s gone rapidly downhill in the last few weeks while I’ve been away and has not got very long left.
    I know why they did it and fully understand it was for the right reasons.
    He’s now officially on a palliative pathway to make my mums life a bit easier.
    My mum can now hopefully get a bit of rest while professionals help out with my old man.

    Does anyone know of a telephone service (befriending) for aged sport (mostly football) lovers that are isolated and like many of us missing going to games?

    Thanks.
    That means a lot.
    Not normally a fan of broadcasting your own grief etc on public platforms for likes and such.
    This feels different.Still think I’m a newbie and wish I hadn’t lurked for so long but the way all posters treat each other makes this forum what it is.
    The banter and the piss taking is part and parcel of a forum but is always good natured and never has any malice attached.
    I’ve been on the end of a bit (some self
    inflicted admittedly)and laughed at it every time and wouldn’t want it any other way.
    The worlds a shitstorm for everybody at the moment and having somewhere to go and have a a bit of a chat and a laugh when you feel a bit low is so important.
    Cheers

    That's the brand I got after seeing a lot of love for 'em on social media! Hoping to see improvement in the other flavours.

    Re the late night bin din, at least they closed the gate. Thoughts now turn, ominously, to tomorrow's collection.

    A fair number of clubs run schemes, maybe City do
    I do calls to even older supporters through "Any Old Irons", I have 18 that I speak to at least twice a month and on birthdays they get a call from a current or former player, a care package.
    I know Charlton, Orient and Spuds do similar

    Get onto Sparksy.

    I see that Age UK have a general befriending service where the volunteer is 'matched' to the aged one. Perhaps the sport thing can be taken into account.

    Or, get @Interested Bystander@Interested Bystander to sort out a virtual knees up around the old joanna for them. He's pricey but gets the job done.

    Sorry to hear that. Caring for someone else really takes its toll. Hard to remember the good memories while just trying to get through the day. My Gran really struggled with my grandfather so I can appreciate what her days look like. Hope you get to spend some time with your dad.
