Sad News
It is with the deepest regret that I have to inform you all of the sad passing of Graeme Bowers.
Graeme was one of the original founders of the Sale Sharks Supporters Club and was well known and well loved by many of you. A regular at Sale Sharks and Sale FC, he was always happy to talk rugby for as long as you wanted.
He was passionate about the “fans experience”, having visited many rugby grounds around the world. Even in his final weeks he was communicating with both clubs to try and improve things for us all.
Sadly, he missed the tremendous win at Bristol but I am sure he was cheering and shouting from above.
The funeral will be 3.15 at Altrincham Crematorium on Thursday 16th January. Then on to Heywood Road. There is no dress code
Meanwhile, I am sure you will all join me in passing on our condolences to his family.
RIP Graeme – the rugby family is now a missing a great man.
Congratulations to Vicky E Irwin who has been inducted to the Sale Supporters Hall of Fame
