Bristol City have also lost a dedicated fan who lived and breathed it. Hear, hear. What a tragedy. Thoughts especially with your Mum and Dad at this sad time. RIP Dave. (PS Thanks ensuring I attended many City away games in the early to mid nineties, and also for serving as my inspiration to take a degree course many years later!)

Rich Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 22 hours ago, StuMillett said: Hi, I am a friend of Dave’s who sat with him a few times each season to catch up and watch the boys. It is with great sadness I am sharing that Dave passed away this week suddenly aged 53. Dave was a lifelong fan and sat in the Ian Cottle wheelchair area named after his brother, a previous City super fan winner who sadly passed away 5 years earlier. Dave and Ian went to countless games together over the years with Ian being dedicated to make sure Dave could make the games. They were both big campaigners for disabled supporters and engaged with the club about transforming these facilities, for those that use them what we have now is unrecognisable from the previous corrugated roof dug outs. Despite Ian’s loss Dave was determined to continue making the games and indeed I came with him to the very next game after Ian passed. Dave, a Bath resident, was lucky to find new friends from Bath who could regularly bring him to matches. Kenny, a man who I met many times, and took up to the Etihad and Wembley previously, but I just know him as Kenny and have no contact details, daft isn’t it. I have joined OTIB to add this note as I see Dave was a member and contributor and I wanted to share this sad news with people who may well know him and communicate with him regularly. Maybe everyone would say this but I can say that I and many others have lost a great friend in Dave, a loving guy who thought of others before himself and rose to the challenges that life presented him. Bristol City have also lost a dedicated fan who lived and breathed it. Sad to hear this. Was reading his Facebook page which seems very recently, where he was very positive and telling of his achievements. Was a large character who'll be sadly missed.

StuMillett Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Kind words from all of you, thank you, I will share the thoughts and memories with Dave’s parents. It’s nice to see that Dave was known by some of you here and greatly respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How may I ask about this, Ian Cottle’s name is up there and it would be a nice gesture but I am not sure when such a thing would be approved by the club.
