This is only to be expected but nonetheless very sad.

 

I actually preferred the person who covered for him, the one people said usually did cricket. Charlie also made me miss Colin Slater, who will forever be the voice of Notts County in my head. Nobody could ever come as close to Uncle Colin's achievements, and whilst I personally find Charlie to be extremely annoying to listen too.

I can appreciate what he does, but the way the BBC were going and with him doing more television I can say I saw this coming.

Good luck, Charlie.

it had to happen, with notts now being in the football league i dont think it looks right that we have a commentator that does tv work over his supposed role. its sad, but i do hope we can get someone who is committed to the role and can do it for every game.

i dont mind the cricket person who took over, but it sounds like its someone called dave if you go on the interview tobi gave.

does anyone know who it is?

best wishes to charlie, i thought he gave a lot of passion to his role.

Charlie’s commentary of Notts County games has shown his deep understanding of football and connection with the club. He succeeded Colin Slater and has a strong bond with the fans.

The departure of Charlie from both Notts County and BBC Radio Nottingham is a significant loss. Charlie, your presence will be greatly missed and your absence will be deeply felt.

It’s sad to see another commentator leave the club, but it’s nice knowing they’re moving on to bigger and better things. Charlie did a fantastic job for Notts.

Well, I think that Charlie Slater has made a clear decision, and I have enjoyed his time. It took some getting used to, I admit, but his friendship and connection with Mark Stallard is special. What are the chances of the BBC hiring Dean Yates so we can have him do the commentary and Mark Stallard assist?  Unlikely, I know. Who’s taking over?

I would imagine Dave Bracegirdle will take over as he’s done it when Charlie couldn’t. He’s ok but not a patch on Charlie, I’ll miss the banter between Charlie and Stall.

Yes, Charlie won us fans over with his coverage of the games and his banter with Mark Stallard. I hope he enjoys more success, as he has been with us for over 6 years. It’s always a shame to see such a person go, much like Ollie King.

Charlie Slater will be a difficult face to replace. His voice and commentary did take time to get familiar with, but his work with Mark Stallard propelled him into our fan base. He will be missed and I thank him for his efforts in covering Notts and reporting on the club.

Charlie is gonna be missed on matchday commentary. His passion and commitment to the club as well as giving fans the best possible coverage was clear for all to see and hear. 

Him and Stal as a duo were brilliant. They both had such good chemistry and bounced off eachother superbly well. 

The thing that sticks in my mind when mentioning Charlie Slater is "in your life Michael Doyle"

Wishing him all the best for the future and also good luck to whoever comes in to fill his boots ????

I hope some closer to his age or younger comes in, the club was starting to become trendy and fashionable. Youngsters connect to people who aren't always so serious. I will miss, Charlie Slater.

I am saddened to see Charlie Slater leave. I understand his decision, but I hope we can find someone more long term. It’s hard to invest when changes are made, just like everything. I do think younger fans, younger than I am, liked Charlie because he was a good guy.

Charlie Slater grew into our fan base. I remember the complaints about him being a former Mansfield commentator, but he ended up winning fans over. I think his decision to stop covering Notts is a shame, especially with NEP letting Ollie King go and it being our first full season back in the Football League. It’s all the more of a shame. I wish him well.
