I would like to be the first on hear to express how thouroughly hacked off i was to hear that our physio Nigel Bondswell has been despatched from the club , not for the first time has a valued member of the squad been axed ....

Helen Carter, Rob Weir to name but two.

Over the last 2 years Nigel has been a great servant to this club getting players out onto the paddock when others would have failed. I dont know or wish to know the full story but I am hoping that this cost cutting excercise doesnt bite us on the . Good luck Nige I wish you well in your career .


Maybe if we`d starting selling the 2013 season tickets in 2009 we might have kept hold of him

Good grief!

He never let us down!

What a shame.

Top bloke.

Took myself, Soupy and Harry-al-hill in to the players area after the Toulouse game earlier this season to have a chat with them all.

He's a real class act, I wish him all the best.

To steal a phrase from another poster "I know why he has left but i can't say".

It is not a cost cutting excercise, it is for "personal reasons" - outside of the Clubs control.

Did you have to put this?

You have ruined it. Now people cannot slag the club.

Sorry Jim,

I didn't fully read the original post



I might have just spoilt a good rumour, or maybe I have started another

I wouldnt be so sure,the usual suspect will make there own version up as the saying goes,
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story"

By the way Best of luck to Nigel,seemed like a good alround bloke,I have some great memories of Nigel's Knocks and of course his apperance as a player at Barry's testimonial game.

The club has lost a great charicter.


His videos were brilliant and at Barrys testimonal he appeared to take on 3 roles as player, coach and physio. Good luck for the future Nigel.

Always seemed a good bloke - very polite when he passed by - shame but sounds like it was beyond the clubs control

Nigel put plenty into the club both on and off the field. He was a very funny bloke. I am sure many will miss him. Here are a few of his funnies www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL780279FF9DD56357 www.charlieperryphotography.co.u ... 9#h31071c9 www.charlieperryphotography.co.u ... 9#h89c6342 www.charlieperryphotography.co.u ... #h1c6ccfac

I notice that there were some new advertising hoardings around the ground for a physiotherapy firm tonight.

Perhaps the 2 are linked?

All the best to Nigel, great bloke.
