Was a couple of rows across from me and when they carried him out he was up and talking to the medics so hopefully a happy outcome

Last update was the supporter ‘was responsive and communicative’ while being evacuated from the stand, so hopefully not too serious in the end! :ayatollah:

The gentleman that was taken ill yesterday is called Dave and was sat directly behind me in row Y of the ninian. I do not know him personally but others around me do know him and can reassure everyone I have been told he is okay now after having a Diabetic hypo during the match yesterday.

Around the 80th minute, Dave became unresponsive and slumped in his chair. His fellow bluebirds around him quickly realised something was wrong and went to alert the stewards, I hope they dont mind me naming them but well done to Andrea and Gareth for this and their quick response to the situation. The stewards that came up were unable to get any sort of response from him and thats when all the supporters directly around him in the stand began shouting for the game to be halted so we could get him the medical attention that he needed.

Well done to all involved, espesicially the St Johns ambulance crew and the CCFC medical staff for their care of Dave yesterday. I am really glad that he is okay and I hope to see Dave at the next home match in a few weeks time.
