    Nick Anderton is about to undergo several months of chemotherapy as the cancer diagnosis has been found to be more aggressive than previously thought. The treatment has already started

    I would like to wish Nick and his family all the very best while he undergoes treatment and for the future

    The club have released a statement which can be found on Bristol Rovers news

    Article in Bristol Live re Nick's Chemo, 6 cycles in 28 weeks, the first four being five weeks each and the last two four weeks each.

    a bit of good news from him is he will become a father for the second time in January a boy along side a Daughter Grace, sleepless nights but a posative mindset to help him fight on.

    Bristol Rovers players and staff will be shaving their heads on the 16th of January in support of team-mate and promotion hero Nick Anderton as he battles a rare form of bone cancer.

    Club captain Paul Coutts said:
    "We’ve always been as one in support of Nick. In the blink of an eye, his world's been turned upside down and this is another way that we can help raise awareness of his condition and raise valuable funds for him and his young family at the same time. Some of us have less hair to lose than others and I’m sure Nick’s looking forward to seeing his mates and the gaffer without any!"

    The players will go bald on the 16th - Nick's shirt number - of this month at a Bristol hairdresser who supports rivals City and not Rovers, further proof that the footballing and city communities are coming together to offer their support.

    Rovers - and football - fans are also invited to shave their own head in solidarity.

    Going by Barton's comment, it looks like he will be staying with us in some capacity??

    Nick Anderton has provided some wonderful news via X (formerly known as Twitter).

    After months of gruelling chemo he is currently cancer-free - there's no sign of active disease.

    This is fabulous news for Nick, his family and the wider Rovers community so very many congrats to Nick and let's hope he continues his recovery and moves on to the next chapter of his life.
