Thanks for that Taxman...I for one can only hope for a speedy recovery for Dave...I'm so glad I came on here today..thanks again for the update as this is always on my mind..

I am so pleased to hear of the small improvement in Dave. There is not a day goes by when I do not think of him. Thanks for the updates.

Thanks for the update. Separated by the pennines but united by the love of the game all Warrington fans are routing for Dave.

Local media coverage in Warrington has been limited. Information is that it is not the case that this has been forgotten (far from it!!) but that the media are only releasing information as the police want it to be released for legal reasons and that the police will not say too much for operational reasons.

What about a pre-season friendly between Fax and Warrington at the Shay, all fans could come along and show their support for Dave and proceeds from the game go to Dave and his family.

Officials of both clubs, please get this sorted if at all possible. Let's start the ball rolling.

Why not a friendly between Fax and Featherstone?

Following on from Neils update i have just this minute being speaking to Dave's dad Ronnie and they are waiting to find out when Dave will be moved to Leeds.
It was scheduled for yesterday just after dinner but was postponed due to oxygen and ambulance issues and it has been rescheduled for sometime today.
The medical staff did not want to leave anything to chance and sums up their magnificent support and care they have given from day one.
Dave is concious and there is eye movement he has been shown rugby and football literature and he follows the pages and is aware of what is going on around him in the ward.
It is impossible to say however what David is taking in and further specialist treatment is scheduled at the medical teams disscretion.
There has been attempts to converse further with him but he has been unable to reply at the moment.
Ronnie and Anne remain strong and positive.
The family have been supported by close friends, officialls at HRLFC and takes great comfort from the many well wishes from the Halifax rugby and football fan base and from many other clubs.

Many thanks.

the second one


A man held over the attack on Fax fan David Singer has been bailed.

The 29-year-old, from Pontefract, was questioned on suspicion of assault yesterday after his arrest in the early hours of Tuesday.

Mr Singer, 32, is still in a critical but stable condition in hospital.

Maybe reality!

Well personally after everything that has gone on - this would be a good idea with proceeds going to the hospitals that helped maybe?

sharp intake of breath................................

waits for the 'never in this world' responses.......

Would be a good way of building a few bridges between the fans - a common cause to support for the day, and if there is one thing the rugby league family does well it is to rally round a good cause.

Nah its too early the GF experience is still fresh in most peoples minds plus Dave is still not a very well man is he?
It would only take one idiot from either club and it may kick things off, I don't want that either way.

Fev fans burned the bridge and it will be a long time before it is rebuilt imo.

Thats the main problem. It wouldn't be the brightest of moves.



How about playing Warrington? Think that idea has already be mentioned. With the proceeds going to the hospital as you said?

David has been successfully transfered to the Leeds General late yesterday afteroon / early evening and is in the High Dependancy Unit which is stricktly private ward.

His condition is as previously described and he remains a very poorly man at the moment, it will take some time before a clearer picture developes on how it will ultimately turn out.

If there are any developements i will keep you posted.

Thank you all again for your support.
