Pato set to attend Colchester United game as Sixfields welcome SAC
Alexandre Pato will be back in Northampton for Saturday’s League Two game against Colchester United as Sports Alpha Capital are officially introduced to the Sixfields crowd.
SAC completed their takeover earlier this month, acquiring a 70 per cent stake in the club, and the visit of Colchester will be the first Saturday home game since. Season ticket holders are able to bring a friend to Sixfields for half price, as part of a ‘small gesture’ by the new owners.
Pato, the former Brazil, Chelsea and AC Milan striker, is an investor in the Brazilian-UK consortium and first visited Sixfields when Newport County were the visitors last month. He met manager Chris Hogg and was given a tour of the ground before celebrating in the crowd as Cobblers won late on.
Pato is set to be back this weekend, alongside some of his SAC colleagues. New co-chairmen Tim Chamberlain and Joao Xavier will also be at Sixfields tonight (Thursday) for an Open Forum.
