Very sad to see the news that David is very poorly in hospital battling against cancer. Did so much for the club during his time as Chairman. I'm sure that the thoughts of everyone on here will be with David during this extremely difficult time. Keep battling David.

Very sad news. David did a good job as Chairman - navigating us through some tough circumstances - and really does not deserve to be going through this, especially after what happened to his late wife, Fiona. I really hope he can pull through this and I wish him a very speedy recovery. Keep fighting Dave!

Yes I think you were the best Chester Chairman since the first one, whose name escapes me. I pray that you recover.

The first newco Chairperson was Christopher Pilsnury - it was a whole lot easier then, with money being handed out to NY for a whole host of items!!!

A very sad day for us all. It was my pleasure to work with David in the Governance Work Group and later on the board. A very decent and sincere human being that loved the City and the club. He will be sorely missed. He fought so hard and never gave up hope. Rest well my friend

Really sad news. Dave was a true gentleman who battled such a cruel illness with bravery, courage, and strength right until the very end. 57 is no age and he has gone way too soon. He was a funny, warm-hearted, and caring man, and it was only a couple of weeks ago that Dave got in touch with me to congratulate me on getting a 1st Class Honours in Sports Journalism. He did a very good job for us as Chairman amid difficult circumstances, and under his stewardship he created a strong platform for us to push on from post-Covid. My thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time, and he will be sorely missed. RIP Dave ๐!

We were at a crossroads when he took over and we could have gone the wrong way. Thankfully David took us on the right path and we should be grateful for his leadership. So very sad news and thoughts with his family.
