Podcast Episode 32 – Meet Donor David Scott!

Posted on by Friends Of Pakati

Welcome to our latest podcast! Today we talk to David Scott, the donor to Friends of Pakati who recently doubled our funds raised during the Community Day stall at Scunthorpe United FC, on 14th March.

I wanted to find out more about David, why (amongst other things) he had decided to boost our funds on a regular basis. Below is the episode in which myself & and our regular host, Bradley Mell, interviewed David online as he lives in Germany.

David is, like myself and Brad, an avid Scuntorpe United fan. We have met at a number of games, home and away.

As we discuss in the podcast, David was the one who came up with the idea for ‘Get Tied Up For Pakati’ back in 2022. Pictured below are several Scunthorpe United fans coming off the supporters coach at the Bradford City away game, and David, Chris & his son Daniel, all suitably tied up.

David sent some images from key past games he attended…

Scunthorpe United win promotion at Chester in the 1982/83 season
Last game at the Old Showground, end of the 1987/88 season
At the newly opened Glanford Park, Scunhorpe United’s new ground in 1988
Promotion last year
Last one and too much information – the Bovril cup was bought in the Milton Keynes semifinal 2008

It was great to find out more about Davud, as he has been such a generous donor to Friends of Pakati. This was just a really good opportunity to publicly thank David for his continued support!
