According to Facebook he was sat up in bed the other day but still not fully concious.

Note: this is only third hand info from Facebook. Do not know how true the info is. Perhaps someone at the club could confirm/deny?

Anyone confirm how the lad is? Nearly a month since the final. Hope he makes a full recovery and the scum responsible are brought to justice.

Dave is still in a very bad way. They reckon it will be many months possibly over a year before he gets out of the Hospital. Dave has to basically get his body strong and then they have to see what is wrong if anything with the Brain and how the body functions. He has shown movement in his arm/hands and his eyes have been flickering but there is no sign of Dave speaking at all yet. According to Docs they have said to Family and Friends its very much about being Patient. Do not expect Dave to return to be his normal self, -he has received major blows to the head which can effect various parts of the body like Memory, Speach, Body Co-ordination etc. Until Dave is really in a better way they cant say or willl not say how bad Dave is. Its very hard to gauge when the Hospital also have to be careful what info they give out as they do not want to get hopes up or fancy being in a mess because they said this would happen and it did not.

Best wishes to Dave and his Family, hope in time he can make a full recovery, our thoughts are with you.

I've been looking on here a couple of times a week for updates since this happened.
So tragic, and the scary thing is it could happen to any one of us, nobody knows what's around the corner.
Best wishes and thoughts to Dave, his family and friends.

Just you give you an update on Dave's condition from the weekend.
He is a little better and he has was able to hold hands. He has spoken one word and is able to move his eyebrows.. From his reactions he is aware of all that is going on around him, so although small these are positive signs. It is hoped that he will be moved to Leeds as soon as there is a bed available.
His parents are overwhelmed by all the get well messages and wish to thank everybody for their support.

Good News, Thanks for the update, Keep it up Dave. Keep fighting.

So good to hear that the lad is recovering and I hope he regains full fitness. Still can't believe this happened.

I sincerely hope that he is soon in a position to be back watching this team again.

I second that. Unbelievable that this has happened and I wish him the best of luck and health.

Has there been any more news in the Cheshire press with regards to further arrests/ investigations?
