Would it not be an idea to lock every other thread for a while? Or every other sport related one, all completely insignificant.

I actually found looking at the drawings thread a nice escape to be honest.

I can see why youd want that. 

 

 

Some people deal with shock and grief differently than others. For some, talking about other stuff is their way of processing/ coping.

 

 

personally I’m just not interested in going in any other thread.

Maybe, but logging on and a thread about a players future being at the top feels utterly ridiculous.

I've pinned it so it should appear at the top of the page from now on.

Still can’t believe this, my heart goes out to Top and his family ?

Well guys. For some reason I am more emotional about it all this morning than I was last night. Was it the shock last night? The lack of sleep this morning? The fact I feel so terribly alone and isolated over here in North Carolina.. it’s times like this I feel very very alone and homesick.  

 

Id love to be there.. walk amongst the people outside the stadium.. but I can’t be.

Same here. I was shocked last night. Didnt shed a few tears until this morning thinking of growing up as a boy dreaming but never believing we could win the premier league and then thinking of all that vichai did for us turning that dream into a reality.

Stringer is reading fans'  tributes out on RL and clearly struggling to hold it together.

[Rusko187]

Whilst I still hold hope it's just looking very bleak, never had the pleasure of meeting him but know many who have.. he's always come across as a decent and kind man who has genuinely loved our little club.

 

Sadly we've been wanting a statue of the title winners for years, think we now have to raise a memorial to this tragedy.

[TeePee]

Just a thought here - I know there will be a bunch of us who would love to get to the stadium to pay our respects but for whatever reason it won't be possible to. Perhaps something we could do to pay our tributes whilst also remaining true to the spirit of the man would be for those of us that can't get there in person to throw a few spare quid to a local Children's hospital on behalf of Vichai and his family? I don't know the man at all, and don't profess to speak for him, but from what I've seen, I would imagine he'd want to see at least some good come out of such a dark time.

 

Thoughts?

[Lionheart10]

Thought and prayers to all those involved,terrible news.

[Wymsey]

This club has some bad luck in the past, but this beats everything possible.

[Saxondale]

This is horrendous.

 

I reckon they’ll be a lot of people down at the ground today.

[Spireite_L]

Sympathies from a Chesterfield fan here.

 

You have the owner all football fans wish they had, who cares as well as pumping in he cash.

 

Although I wouldn't wish this tragedy on anyone.

[Rob1974]

I just joined here to pass on my sympathy and to send best wishes to all the staff, supporters and families of those affected by the horrific events of last night.

 

I can’t begin to imagine how difficult things must be for you guys right now, I’m lost for words. Together as a club, you will get through this.

I had visited my terminally ill aunt in the Royal prior to the game yesterday, so was a bit emotionally exhausted come the evening. It meant reading the comments last night was more an exercise in glum numbness than anything else.

 

But when looking at pictures of Vichai this morning, the one in my avatar sent me over the edge. I think it's the playfulness and human connection it depicts. What an incredibly sad day.

I agree, I was intending on going down on Tuesday evening.

[Flamingo Lane]

Villa supporter here.  I have had a strong affection for Leicester City for many years, since being at Leicester Poly in the late 70s/early 80s, and then working for the city council for 4 years afterwards.  Many games I attended at Filbert Street, and many happy memories I have of those days.  This is a terrible tragedy, and I am sorry to write under such circumstances, but I am very moved to read the tributes to your chairman and felt I had offer condolences.

[Blue Ed]

Feeling quite shocked and sad. It's been great having owners who are so committed to the club, I remeber they invested heavily in the training ground not long after they took over and we built the best training facilities outside the premiership at the time. From (ah-hem) hastags to free beer I've always thought they bought in to the community and wanted to make the fans feel welcome and part of the vision that they had. They are obviously close as a family and I feel sad for their loss today and they are close to their faith which I hope will give them some comfort. And I suddenly remembered this morning what Birch said at before the kick off yesterday; about us embarking on a new chapter in our history; how poignant those words feel to me today.
