Anyone notice last night how out of breath he was getting and deep breathing down the mic. I hope he’s ok but he didn’t look great last night and notice he has missed a few games this season

Not being too personal but he needs to go on a diet, he has for a while struggled to walk across the pitch without getting out of breath, very sad. I hope he can improve his health, enjoy listening to him on Radio Brizzle.

I hope he can improve his health, enjoy listening to him on Radio Brizzle. A fantastic chap to be doing the job he does, there can't be a better man on the mic at any ground in the country. He gets the crowd going but also his speeches when we all need to take stock such as the terrorist attacks in Paris or the death of Geoff Dunford are very moving. On another note I don't think I've heard Bing Bong Man this season, am I imagining it or is he just now speaking at appropriate moments? |

Lovely guy but he doesn’t look in the best of shape. Overweight and a smoker, no wonder he is out of breath.
Perhaps a visit to the dr and a lifestyle change is in order.

I agree with the above, his weight has increased markedly over the last couple of seasons, why only he would know wether it is physical or a mental problem. I sincerely hope he resolves it to his benefit. I have nothing against the guy. He seems OK as an announcer, certainly not bad. Perhaps his voice is a little harsh over the stadium speaker system that does not occur on the radio. If I have an issue with him and sometimes if I think about it I find slightly irksome is his apparent need to start announcing the team onto the pitch by leading them out of the tunnel onto the pitch when normal convention is the team captain and or mascots lead the team out. Sorry bleat over. |

What the f**k is this thread? Seriously. I reported it to the mods as soon as it was posted last night but it looks like one of them is joining in with this sh1t.
Nick is a volunteer at the club not a player. Keep your personal comments to yourselves or let's have a look at what shape you're in and what your vices are.

I think it's borne out of concern for the guy, rather than anything malicious.
Nick is part of the match day experience (not that I make many games these days) - his dulcet tones announcing the teams and asking if we can smell gas etc etc.

There has been no derogatory remarks or name calling LCJ. It’s an observation based on how he is looking and sounding. It’s more of concern than it is name calling or singling out for body shaming. I’m not a cut Adonis by any stretch but I also known when to put down the crisp packet and reign in the wispa golds for a few weeks. This isn’t a jibe at ND but in reference to your comment about how I look. |

I'm afraid, as mods, we can't and have no desire to stop conversation about public figures from the match day, and it would be ridiculous for us to try, in any case. We have to rely on the good sense and integrity of all the board users. Yeah, I know. |

Yeah, it does seem a bit harsh but I read it as genuine concern for the most part.
Certainly no malice intended.
Nick is a public figure and for many he is the (face??) voice of Bristol Rovers on a match day.
People care about him in an odd kind of way.
I understand LJGs and Bolders concerns raised here though.

Nick is a volunteer at the club not a player. Keep your personal comments to yourselves or let's have a look at what shape you're in and what your vices are. Totally agree. I don't think any of us would like an Internet forum having a thread purely discussing their health and appearance, I wouldn't feel too good reading this stuff if it was about me. Get rid. |

Simple Question to the Mods...
If ND asked you to remove the tread, would you or would you state "freedom of speech" bullshit ?

I’m sorry but it’s part and parcel of being in the public eye and like others have mentioned he’s somewhat of a public figure. Most have raised concern and wish him good health. I’m not sure if you were there Tuesday night but he seemed to really struggle to carry out his tasks |

For what it's worth I was there Tuesday (as I've been for every home game) but don't see as thats particularly relevant? |

Get rid. look out 👀 Mary Whitehouse is back! Not really. I don't agree with nanny state and censorship stuff. Just don't like this sort of personal comment, particularly regarding someone's health and appearance. All very unnecessary IMO. |
