LondonBristolian Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 18 hours ago, ScottishRed said: @LondonBristolian just come back to this thread. Being someone who is currently going through this I have to report that my experience has been outstanding. Clearly there are lots of things that are currently going on in the NHS and they do need to be urgently resolved but, I can confirm that the staff at the RUH are magnificent, I have nothing to complain about at all. The care and compassion that they offer cancer suffers is above and beyond. There is also lots of additional- non-hospital related - support available too. Again, I send good wishes to this young lad for a full and speedy recovery. That is really positive to know. That support is so vital and I am really glad you have found it to be in place. Best of luck in your own battle. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising funds for Nick Anderton Wow! Fair play to you/them all. A very magnanimous gesture, and, of course, I wish the young man all the best with his recovery. I hope the publicity increases his profile and corresponds to an increase in financial support for his awful illness.

In the Net Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Heart warming to see donations from both sides of the city - as one of your supporters wrote in his comment "cancer has no colours". Thank you. This photo shows Nick foam rolling his leg on the day of a game, at the time he had no idea that he had a cancerous tumour, and was playing through the pain. He's obviously a very determined character, which will be invaluable in helping him through this. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to a live report on Radio 5 last night - good exposure. The CEO said the barber was waiting for them in a City shirt and I had visions of him sharpening his cut throat razor as they came in... On this occasion, here goes, deep breath, Well done the Gas (never thought I'd say that) ! Over 35k raised, great effort. Hope he makes a full recovery soon. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - BBC local news covered the story and it just proves how unnecessary the ‘angst’ we see between the Bristol clubs is. Many of us have gasheads in our social circle ( in fact I sat with one in the bar earlier) Rivalry and banter between us is fine - in fact it’s quite amusing - but the OTT bitterness we sometimes see is something I find simply ridiculous………….grow up and enjoy the rivalry. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Really sad to hear this. The priority absolutely has to be his health but this must have been a tough decision.
