[Cameron Davidson]

I’m still obsessively checking the news. Big love to all the LCFC family. Xx

Evertonian here .

 

I honestly don’t know what to say other than my thoughts and prayers are with you all and more particularly with the loved ones of those involved.    

 

Deepest condolences at this terrible and difficult time , football will feel so trivial but the strength and loyalty that binds you all together will I’m sure be a great support. 

[Sir Trevor Brooking]

West Ham fan in peace. Just wanted to offer commiserations on this terrible news.

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

Absolutely. Any casualty from any incident would go to NHS A&E, BUPA don't accept emergencies! I've taken a few  top footballers and rugby players to LRI A&E, What happens after that I have no clue. Tigers and LCFC have top quality medical facilities, including full resus and an X Ray facility. If a player goes to hospital it's because they need extra treatment such as fracture closure or alignment and fixation.

[spacemunky]

Horrible events. 

 

Thoughts with those involved and all the LCFC supporters.

Sittting here  probably like  thousands of others waiting for official news. Just looked at the time 1.40 am and said to myself time to hit the bed.....but then reality dawned that it’s only 12.40 as clocks go back tonight so persuading myself to stay up a while longer despite the tiredness in the forlorn hope that there maybe some good news....The human body and mind is weird cos I know I won’t sleep well tonight no matter what the official outcome but I need to know so badly as it’s like those involved are close family members.....

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

Shocked and stunned by tonight's events, feel numb, so difficult not to fear the worst looking at the news reports. 

 

Whoever was onboard are a part of the Leicester City family. Our family. We can only support each other at what is going to be a devastating time for those families and our club. 

 

The messages of support from fans across the UK and world are immensely thoughtful, although have pretty much pushed me over the emotional edge. 

 

Until we know more certain details, we can only wish for the news to be positive.

I remember Bernard Murphy and how classy your club were then.

 

Hate the modern social media culture where nobody can just give those closest a bit of time.

 

God bless those involved and I wish your club all the best in coming back from this terrible tragedy.

Not expecting a statement from the club tonight. There’s too much going on.

We don't really need one, the silence speaks a thousand words. 

[Parafox]

to all those football fans from other teams that we've all chanted against and that have chanted against us, to have you sign up to FT to offer support and concern shows that rivalry is a mutually friendly thing because when a potential tragedy happens to any football club, other true football fans rally round and support each other, Thank you, football supporters. #Iwasthere

[Cauldbairn]

Sunderland fan here, just wanting to pass on my thoughts and shock at the news. The world of football is with you tonight.

[whitlock]

If the chopper was leaving the ground, it would only seem plusable that Vichai would be on it. 

 

The fact that there have been no reports of anyone seeing him or others after the crash (there were eye witnesses/fans around) it just can’t be good news. 

 

I guess it would just just be a case of understanding who exactly was in the helicopter before a statement is released. 

 

So gutted and sad right now. 

[PETERPARKA]

West Ham supporter here. Just signed up to offer solidarity with you all at this terrible time. This is bigger than any football and although I don't expect any good news, I'm still clinging onto some, any glimmer of hope. My deepest thoughts are with you all at this terrible time.

[Fitbaphile]

Normally a lurker but it's not the time for that now.

 

Someone kick me out of my mind. I hate these thoughts I can't deny. 

 

For what it's worth, I've got everything crossed. 

Thanks to all fans, regardless of affiliation, for your kind words.

 

KEEP THE FAITH

No need to rush a statement if it wont change whats happened.

I think we do, though. Rumors are insidious. It seems to be clear that Vichai was on board, but what about Puel or others?

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! 

So much frustration, chaos and deep sadness at this point will be affecting all the Leicester support and community .

 

An extremely honest post @shen and one which your fellow Leicester fans will embrace, respect and feel part of, and that will help in building a strong bond of support that will sustain the club and community through this tragedy. Stay strong.

I feel sick. It keeps going through my mind what they must of been feeling and going through those final moments when they knew they were going down...

Me too earlier

try not to think about it 

horrific thoughts 

[CloudFox]

This can't be real. They all must have got out safe, my brain keeps telling me. But we all know that isn't possible.

 

Thoughts with the families of all affected. Thanks to those well-wishers of other clubs - you don't have to what you do, but I'm so grateful you are.

 

I really, really hope at least someone survived.

[ExeRed]

Exeter fan, reading above gives a glimmer of light to the football community regardless of the league, team or distance. 

 

it’s tragic what’s happened and our prayers are with you Leicester city. Such a sad day for football
