David
McAllan Update
(Posted 08/12/07)
Unfortunately it was not all good news at Friday night's
event with the audience being shocked when the latest update on David
McAllan was given.
Alan advised that it was very bad news on David with
the prognosis being far worse than anyone originally thought.
His condition remains more or less the same as it was
four weeks ago with David still having numbness in certain areas of
his body and limited mobility. He is still able to get around on his
crutches with his body brace but not very far and certainly not without
considerable effort.
Obviously David will not ride again but more importantly
he will be affected by his injuries for the rest of his life. There
will be a benefit meeting arranged for David next season and the Glasgow
promotion will do everything they can to accommodate it even if it
means rescheduling a league meeting to a mid week date although it
is still early days yet.
Graham Lister of Buildbase immediately pledged that
they would also offer support to any benefit meeting.
