Anyone seen him recently/know if he's okay? Remember in the Trollope era you could guarantee seeing him at any far flung Northern outpost on a cold Tuesday night getting the chants going, but unless he's had a massive image change can't say I've seen him in years!

I believe he got fed up being treated badly by so called mates who would goad him into getting himself into trouble/ doing stupid things just for their amusement.
Andy? from the clubhouse kitchen regularly took time out, as did members of the SC committee to make sure he was ok and supported.
Last I heard he was in a place of residence that could help him with his issues.

It's upsetting when I read things like this, far to often i've seen gasheads around me goading and in some respects bully fellow fans.
No need for it, we're one team and should all be in it together. I'm not usually one to step out and say much but I did have to remind some of our younger fans of this last season.
Good on the SC commitee for the support too, it's easy to look away and not get involved.

Hey guys I found this randomly. I'm Nathan's sister. He's not in a great way been in hospital twice following 2 bleeds on his brain. I'm doing all I can to vouch for him. He is currently in a care home outside the city as its all they had to accommodate his needs. Hopefully he'll be back in Bristol soon so I can easily get to him in between personal challenging circumstances. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and remembering him. All my love - Zoe xx

All my love - Zoe xx Give him our best wishes. If he's the person I'm thinking about, I remember sitting next to him at the back of the stand up at Barrow back in 2006. It was an FA Cup game we won 3-2. It was freezing cold, pouring with rain, and blowing a gale, but Nathan was having a great time stripped down to the waist waving is Rovers shirt in the air. Hope your personal challenging circumstances improve and Nathan gets back to Bristol soon. Apologies if I'm not thinking about the right person, I'm not great with names. |

Not sure why I didn't reply to my own thread at the time, but really hope it isn't the case that Nathan stopped attending due to others not making him feel comfortable.
I work as a National Sales Manager and often find myself staying in hotels around the country during the week and as a result have been to a fair few unfashionable midweek away games over the years, due to staying within an hour or so. Often I had to really motivate myself to take a 45 minute drive to somewhere like Doncaster so always massively admired the likes of Nathan who'd no doubt be on the Eagle of Bristol until the early hours and then up for work or college or whatever the next morning after a (usually!) pitiful performance.
Wish both you and him all the best and can only echo what those who've already said that it's lovely to hear what a supportive sister he clearly has.
If it's what Nathan would want and he's able to, let's hope the club can one day sort out making him a guest at a game in the future.
