Last updated : 16 October 2015 By CNS Staff

Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray has said that it feels close to home about the death of young City supporter Rowan Fitzgerald, who was killed in the Coventry Bus Tragedy after City's 3-0 win with Shrewsbury Town on Saturday October 3rd.

The club will be holding a minute's applause prior to kick off of Saturday's game against Blackpool and Mowbray told the Coventry Telegraph: "It feels very close to home because that young lad had been at the match we all had been a part of.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends and if, this weekend, the supporters and the club can show their respect, then we can show that we are standing by them at this difficult time."
