HoylandOwl Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I've just had a message to the site inbox informing us that we've recently lost a good friend of the site and a poster for a number of years, Bricat. He did tell me he was battling illness for some time, and was in and out of hospital. Bri used to send us articles for the site and was one of the stalwarts for some time, he'll certainly be missed. RIP Bri. Fly high mate. WAWAW. EDIT... Just had the following message... If anyone is interested his cremation service will be at City Road Crematorium at 15:15 on Tuesday 30th April. Drinks afterwards in The Harlequin on Nursery St. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Sad sad news. I was only thinking of Bricat the other day as I went past The Shakespeare pub in town. I was in there probably 3 or 4 years ago and recognised him from his ID pic on here and went and asked if he was Bricat. We had an hour and a couple of pints together - and then come to think of it half a 12 percenter he recommended ! Lovely fella and knew he had been struggling with his health. Getting old is crap isn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowl Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Very sad to hear this. As others have noted he was around a long time on here, always had a decent opinion but generally respected yours.

Friend of Bricat Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Writing as Brian's best friend (in his last decade) thank you all for your thoughts and lovely comments. Such a shame he didn't live to witness this afternoon's result and the team's survival - he would have been very happy. I like to think that (in part at least) they did it for him. I'm not really a football fan so you won't hear from me again - but good luck for next season, Service Booklet Final 1904.pdf Edited May 4 by Friend of Bricat 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Eric Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Not that I believe in the afterlife, but it's nice to think of Bricat sat with a little pint of his favourite tipple with a cigar on the go and a nice, happy little smile on his face. To all the Owls no longer with us, cheers! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
