I never knew him personally, but Dave Patterson who was instrumental in saving the club in 1987 sadly passed away today. Those of you who read the Cowsheds site will know him as 'Pato', always acerbic but deeply passionate about the club. I share some of his scepticism about the more grandiose aspects of the current regime.

I understand that it was Dave who effectively persuaded PJ to buy the club in 1987. I think a minute's applause on Saturday would be fitting, so hopefully the club can organise something.

Sad news. He made some telling points on the Cowsheds, along with rants about the quality of food/service in the suites, which amused me. Wasn’t aware of his involvement in getting PJ onboard, would be good to give him the send off RLC suggests
