Helicopter crash

Shrewsbury Town supporter based up the road in LE12.

 

You've made the impossible possible before so if there's anyone who can make miracles happen it's you and we're all praying for one now.

 

I recently visited the San Siro and saw this street art just outside the stadium.

I'm not a Leicester fan but having lived in the county for a few years now even I felt a touch sentimental and dare I say it, pride when I saw it.

 

The football world is with you tonight.

I was on duty at the match today. It's taken me this long to post anything on FT. We'd just been stood down by the match control and we were had got as far as the queue of traffic toward the junction approaching Upperton Road when we heard a huge crashing sound. We looked back towards the sound and saw a huge ball of fire. We did our best to turn round in the queue but it was difficult. We managed to go back against the one way flow of traffic and get back to the car park area where we could see a burning mass. I didn't know what had happened at that point but it was a real mess of confusion and arm waving. We were pretty much first there. Massive heat, no way of getting close, horrible and frightening. I feel sick. I can't say much else because of EMAS restrictions around social media. I dread to think of those on board. Shocked and helpless... and that's just me. I've cried. 

God bless you and thank you for the difference you make on a daily basis

Not sure about this. Would he really have been taken to a public A&E and would the manager have really gone with him?!

I've seen others reporting the same. Truth is no-one on Twitter knows anything at all.

Middlesbrough fan here. This is truly awful news. Really hope things turn out better and am thinking of you all.

Yes and Yes. It’s a leg break. The only and best place for him is A&E. 

[Wymsey]

You feel so helpless in these situations that you feel bad.

Life really can be so cruelly unexpected.

Can we leave out the 'I have a friend..' Twitter stuff, and just wait for the truth. And hope and pray for the least bad news.

An ambulance went past us from the ground with its lights going when we were walking back which I'm guessing Amartey was in, it was heading towards the Royal

[ousefox]

I feel sick. Horrible horrible news. Hoping for the best ?

[petersafc63]

Sunderland fan here, just signed up to send my condolences but still hoping it may not be as bad as many predict. Football is a great game and rivalries make it what it is but we always come together in times of adversity. Thoughts with you all.

Please, please don't keep sharing social media rumours and guesswork. I know everyone's desperate for information but speculating who was/wasn't on board helps nobody. Wait for an official statement and keep everything crossed in the meantime

[cityfanlee23]

I've been trying to stay off here after reading the news but here I am with a lump in my throat unable to sleep.

I guess all I can say at this stage, is that whoever you are, whether we agree or disagree on anything Lcfc related, we are all Family, I really hope for good news. 

 

We have a great community here and the footballing world is uniting around us. Big love to everyone involved tonight, their families and everyone connected to the club, including everyone on here. 

I'm not sure how I will sleep tonight, but every waking moment will be moments of reflection. 

 

Love you all.

Oh ok sorry mate

As I walked out of the ground (A block) there was an ambulance leaving. Could only have been for Amartey realistically

Just don't know how any fan can recover from any information that is set to be revealed.

Going to the stadium, a location where unfortunately people who may have tragically passed away made the club to achieve a trophy no one expected them to win and also starting to build a very bright future for the club..

I think it will be a three part thing, firstly there's your own thoughts about anyone we lose and that will be an insular thing to make sense of, as long as it makes sense to you it doesn't matter how the grief comes out, some people will be drawn to the stadium some will be the opposite, it's ways and ways. Secondly at the first opportunity be it tonight tomorrow or a match day there will be group support, friend to friend stranger to stranger arm in arm, solidarity and thirdly from those who are left, they'll need our support and we'll need there's. Right now I need Birch and a brandy. All the best.

It's hard to know what to say, My thoughts and Prayers are with everyone associated with Leicester City and the friends and family of all those involved.

 

The whole Sporting World hurts tonight. Take care, Stay Strong.

Seen a ambulance outside the players entrance after the game left on blue lights

I have never met the owners. I have no ITK sources or any nonsense like that. But i just wanted to say that the owners of this football club, directly or indirectly depending on how you look at it, gave me the best 18 months or so of my entire life. I feel completely devastated by what’s happened tonight. 

 

I am not a religious man but tonight I am praying for Vichai and all on board.

Confirmed that Ruskin and Top not onboard. No mention of Puel. This is all very worrying. To lose one person like this is terrible, but potentially so many is truly horrendous. 

[foxile5]

I hope the owners are aware how much we love and will continue to love them. 

 

Simply the best. 

[Jaspa]

5live up all night saying they're expecting an announcement. Feels unlikely though I thought they'd release an official announcement first thing in the morning.

 

Gonna run down early tomorrow anyway

[STEVIE B]

Such support and gratitude from fellow football fans, wheather from the UK or from abroad is truly heartwarming. Football has too many negative points but this proves we are together. Many thanks to all fellow fans, wherever and whoever you are. Much love.

I'm stunned. This is just surreal. I can't begin to think of the consequences of this. This is catastrophic and utterly crushing not to be able to help or support in any way. I hope all involved have survived this!
