Charlie Slater decision to move away from Notts' commentary is truly heart-wrenching, but my best wishes go out to him.

I only occasionally heard his commentary, which I thought was okay. He had his quirks, but what I liked were the brilliant videos of him and Mark Stallard. Those reaction videos were something special and it’s sad to see their partnership end. I wish Charlie all the best.

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.

I won't have a problem with Bracegirdle taking over. I enjoy his cricket ball-by-balls. A very different style, but no less passionate.

Good luck to whatever he does next.

I wonder who is going to be taking on the role as Notts commentator.

He might not have been everyone's cup of tea, but I thought he was brilliant. I took in most of my Notts football via the radio, and he always gave a very good idea of what was happening on the pitch. It went a bit wobbly at the goals, but that was part of the charm! Listening to him and Stallard was entertaining in and of itself, I'd have happily listened to them even if I weren't a Notts fan.

So now we have to find another C Slater to do our commentary! But life moves on. Thanks for the memories Charlie and the best of luck in the future! 

My wife said Charlie and Stall should have their own show, she really enjoyed listening to them and she’s not really bothered about football.

It’s a shame to see Charlie Slater leave so soon. I think the BBC made a mistake by allowing him to skip his radio duties in favour of his TV appearances. Personally, I always felt it should be one or the other, but it’s sad to see him leave his commentary role. There’s no reason why he couldn’t do both on non-match days. I hope whoever comes in maintains their presence when doing commentary throughout the season.

It’s a shame and it is sad to see Charlie Slater move on. I thought he became better with each season and I wished we could have had a few more years of the Slater/Stall banter.

It’s sad to see Charlie Slater leave his Notts commentary position with BBC Radio Nottingham, but it’s exciting to see a new era. Provided we still have Mark Stallard, then that’s the main thing. Good luck, Charlie, and thank you.

I'm disappointed because I think when he arrived, many comments were made about his coverage of Mansfield games. Some of our fans even said he supported them, and Stag fans said he would do this. I don't like people using Notts as a stepping stone. However, I do wish him well because he won everyone over. But having the label of Colin Slater's successor has made his decision to leave bitter in my mind.

I mean, what do I know, but he seems to want to be back on camera and more well-known. I think I wouldn't have these feelings if he had been here for a lot longer.

@KingWilliams I don’t think you can criticise him for being ambitious, he is young and wants to get on in the media world, if he stopped with Notts he isn’t going anywhere i we are honest.

I understand your point. Perhaps I am just disappointed, but I believe he still has a lot to offer in his current role. He wrote that it was “the most difficult career decision”, yet this is now the second time it has happened. I don’t feel it shows much loyalty to the club, fans, or to Colin Slater, whom he replaced. It seems more than a coincidence that his decision to leave comes just as we are attracting attention, which could be beneficial for him. At the end of the day, it’s his decision, but I am entitled to feel disappointed and to criticise him for using Notts.

Don’t get me wrong, it is very disappointing, there’s no one more disappointed than me, Charlie is great to listen to but I guess it’s like having a really talented player playing for Notts (E.g. Jack Grealish) we wouldn’t have wanted him to stay at Notts out of loyalty it would have been unfair to stand in his way.

Who knows what offer Charlie has had and where he will go next. I think we were spoilt with Colin Slater who showed loyalty to the extreme as we know he was Notts commentator for many years, I reckon Colin would have been the first to wish him well, Charlie was never going to emulate the great man for his many years with Notts. Good luck to him I think we should thank him for the time he had with us and wish him well.

He has done the odd game for them before, he’s also done regular tv work on BBC East Midlands today, I watch it most nights and he’s regularly on there with various sporting features.
