I totally agree with your comments. What a wonderful kid,who was taken much too early. My best wishes to all his family
Its a nice touch that City fans will be doing a minutes applause on 9 minutes for this 9 year old brave lad. Our travelling gasheads did the same too at Gillingham for a young City fan who sadly passed away too.
https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2018/january/baileycoopertribute/ Many Rovers supporters will have read about nine year old Bailey Cooper, who sadly lost his brave fight against cancer on Christmas Eve. His passing was marked by a one minute’s applause, in the ninth minute of Bristol City’s match against Norwich City last weekend, a fantastic gesture by our local rivals and one that was appreciated by Bailey’s family and friends and everyone at Bristol Rovers. We would like to remember Bailey in the same way this Saturday, when we host Bradford City, and we ask all Rovers supporters to join in with that tribute in the ninth minute. Six members of Bailey's family will attend Saturday’s game as our guests and have been invited into the boardroom after the game. They will also be our guests in hospitality at the Wigan game. We recently donated a signed shirt to raise funds in Bailey’s memory and skipper Tom Lockyer, Bailey’s favourite player, today made the draw for the lucky winner, who was Karen Mixon. Tom was accompanied by Claire Brooks and Isobel Kizz Helliker who told us that the shirt raised the magnificent sum of £1,341.00. A superb effort, thanks to all involved. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
It is nice to see that football rivalry can put to one side sometimes well done to our neighbours across the city and Norwich their opponents for their gesture in supporting Bailey Coopers family in this way
