Hi all, I’m Steve’s sister. Can I pass on our thanks for the lovely comments on here following the news of Steve’s passing. I’m sure in time these will bring some comfort to his family, especially Nic, James and Ollie. Steve’s Mum, Christine, brother Kev, myself and his wider family. Steve started going to Eastville when our Dad would take him and Kev, alternate Saturdays he would take me, the Red in the family to Ashton Gate. Steve was a supporter of local sports playing cricket and darts then umpiring cricket. It seems that if you met Steve you would remember him. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts Rest in Peace Steve. Xx

I've been struggling to think about anything else since it became apparent Sladey didn't have long left in this world. 56 really is no age at all. I hadn't seen him in a while, the last time being a chance meeting in The Raglan, where I attempted to play him at darts and failing dismally, he was a VERY good darts player and I'm a VERY bad one. Although I knew him through Rovers, I probably really got to know him better, when our kids went to school together and his son James used to play against my lad Archie in junior football, where we both pretended the result didn't matter, but we were both desperate for our boys to win ! Any recent interaction between us , had really only been liking each others political Facebooks posts, there aren't many of us lefties left (jeez, we weren't really even 'lefties' but it seems now anything not to the right of Marie Antoinette attracts that term) and I was always glad of the moral support. Along with Rick, he was treated absolutely appallingly by some at Rovers and it was sad to see the club lose such stalwart fans. Often infuriatingly opinionated, but always warm hearted and a laugh, I shall be raising a glass to him at the first game of the season, Actually, f**k waiting till the first game, I'm working in the delightful village of Berriew, there's a pub next door, I'll go and raise one now! Cheers Sladey!

NO JUSTICE

Just really crap news, 56 is no age at all. Always enjoyed having a joust with Steve in the Blues Bar. Thoughts with his family and friends at this time.
