Hope to god dave pulls through,know him really well from the football and cant believe just after the game i was talking to him asking him if he was coming to liquid for the after party and he was really looking forward to it. Hope he makes a full recovery and would be great if he could make it to the presentation at shay on monday but its a long shot.

Mark sadly we are talking likely months rather than days in hospital especially considering its the head that took such a beating.But its still way too early for any doctor to say how things will be and how long etc.

I'm sure whenever his recovery is complete, this young fellow will be most welcomed back, not only at Halifax but also at Warrington.

Get well soon, I hope he has a quick and speedy recovery.

The reason many of us watch RL is because fans can mix without all the trouble you get at soccer. An incident like this is bad for RL as a whole.

Wish Dave all the best and hope his family know that real RL fans are thinking about them at a difficult and sad time.

Get Well soon Dave.
Fev fans should be appauled.

Hope you are well soon Dave, and back watching the game we all love.

Lets hope they find the person who did this terrible thing to a guy out at a RL game enjoying his teams win, there really is no room for that sort of behaviour in our great game.

Again hope you make a full recovery mate, [from a Leyther.

I believe 99.9% are.

Praying this is not true, but what a tragedy and thoughts and prayers are with all of Dave's loved one's and the Halifax club if so.


=#FF0000NAT - THIS IS NOT TRUE! Officially confirmed by the club.

Its just said on look north that dave still remains in hospital so fingers crossed he will pull through.

Thanks Nat.

Get well Dave.

Thanks for deleting the post(s). As said please can people not speculate on Davids condition. I know people may think they are helping etc. Please post best wishes etc, but any official statement concerning David will be made via the appropiate channels at the appropriate time. Thanks

So glad this wasnt true, i heard it from word of mouth today and felt gutted, cant say it enough that i hope the person or persons are brought to justice.

So why hasn't anyone dobbed in the perpetrators yet ?

The folks I go to games with or who I know, would have done the right thing by now, it's been a whole week.

Says a lot about people from Fev, they know something, but wont tell, if they were Decent people they'd have picked up the phone and spoke to the police or crimestoppers.

Exactly my thoughts.

Im presuming the scum wasnt alone, his "mates" are hiding him.

What a prat you are. Fev fans have spoken to the police, I did the day after the incident and I know others have.What do you want the police to do?publish the names and addresses of those who have? The police have to be given the time to do their job and piece together the evidence to make sure that they can prosecute the thug so stop your bitching because it isn't helping anyone.
His close mates might be protecting him by keeping quiet and if they are shame on them but once again to generalise and accuse all of us of not being decent is pathetic.

Yeah fair point, apologise for that, though there are still people protecting those responsible. that's who my comments were aimed at.

Featherstone as a club are doing as much as they can from what I can see, went on the website the other day and the "splash page" is now an appeal for information, fair play there,

Irrespective of who they support anyone who has information and hasn't come forward should be ashamed of themselves.

Heres hoping those responsible are caught and Dave makes a full recovery.

Apologies for calling you a prat but at the moment i am very angry with the whole incident.
I know our club are desperate to find the person responsible, as am I.
The other day I was at the club and could see the hard work they were putting into non rugby events, schools visiting, coffee morning for charity etc, stuff that is happening on a daily basis yet all this hard work to help the community and build a reputation as a decent club gets tarnished by a few individuals who are selfish, arrogant and don't deserve to follow our club.
I saw so many unfamiliar faces at the match, even on the coach I travelled on that trying to identify the culprits responsible isn't going to be easy.Appealing to his mates probably won't do any good because if they are anything like him then not only will they protect him but are probably getting on with their lives oblivious to what has happened to Dave,I just wish I could be there when the police break down his door to arrest him.
It might take some time but I hope the two sets of fans can build bridges and not let the scum who caused this incident cause a rift between the clubs because we are all part of the rugby league family and should be standing shoulder to shoulder not fighting amongst each other.

Marillion man is a good guy pal. His comment might well be borne out of frustration as there was much antagonism directed at Halifax supporters following last weeks game and its not the fault of the genuine fans of either side, and most likely down to the few idiots that both club have. Hopefully the fan that was attacked will make a full recovery and the perpetrators brought to justice.
