Bradley Lowery tributes

I can't begin to imagine the sorrow the parents and close family of this little boy must be enduring.
Similarly I'm sure there are many others experiencing this every single day both in Sunderland and every town and city in the UK.
We seem to be getting suggestions to name stands, attend games, name games, enclosures etc etc for the poor little lad.
We need to take a step back and think of this family and maybe let them decide what is appropriate in terms of remembering his life.
Correct ,I bet you they feel a little smothered with all of this media circus/people trying to attach themselves to all this . Need time to themselves to grieve etc imo

Without doubt, the best thing you've ever said on here.
He's talked sense for 2 days now ,must have had a shot off

We seem to be getting suggestions, almost by the hour to name stands, attend games, name games, enclosures etc etc for the poor little lad

Amazing because I have a viewpoint different to the 'sheeple' I cop a serve.

Just as with Morse's post I read this carefully before responding but agree with every word.

I'm not there yet but, as each new day dawns with a raft of 'great ideas', I'm close to rolling my eyes and thinking 'ffs, enough's enough'.

I've seen these things, over decades, whereby a seemingly unstoppable express train suddenly derails because it was out of control.

When Bradley was around everything was relevant but I think, as you've said, people need to take a step back and allow the family off the train for a while.

They may not wish to say 'give it a rest' as they wouldn't want to appear ungrateful but it's all becoming a little uncomfortable imo.

Nailed it. This is of course not limited to this tragedy but with every passing event on social media there seems to be a competition (if there's a more delicate word, I've missed it) to see who can grieve to the biggest level and who can have the most worthwhile tribute.

People need to take a step back, let the family have their personal time way beyond Friday's funeral and then think what will be a suitable tribute without it descending into 'my idea's the best', 'no mine is' discussion.

Excellent post
I hesitate to say this and hope I don't the noses out of the genuine people but I wonder when I read some of these things whether they are demonstrations of who can suggest the best tribute and the actual sad passing is a side show.
Anyway each to their own but it has truly reached saturation point imo.

Well said, that'll all come later. Now isn't the time to even discuss it imo. Let the family do all of that when they feel the time is right

For now give them the time to grieve over their little boy

Seems to be a bit confusion where to leave tributes. Correct place is the family statue near reception saw some this morning with Mr Stokoe. I didnt know where and had to look. just wish they would make it clearer. Unless ive missed something?
 
People need to be a bit careful. A bit of wind and stuff is going to end up on southwick green or down roker Ave. one are would be best as it will be easier to contain. I think there's possibly enough momentum for a permanent memorial ( panel of bricks or something)

"The Bradley Lowery Beacon Of Light" (or whatever that new building is set to be named).

I think the main place is the family statue, that's where I left mine
 
Picked up a lot of stuff up and put it back. Was a bit windy, all the candles where out. Had nothing to relight them
