That's an excellent point, It's a modern day outlet that hasn't been there for previous generations and like most probably did I came here last night instinctively as my first thought. It's also helping those outside of the county who haven't got a like minded neighbour or friend to share their thoughts with. In it together rain or shine, you're making me proud.

Same here, came here to share memories of the man and just talk out how i was feeling. We're all in the same boat, and it's great to see everyone pulling together

Lost for words. Thank you for everything you've done for Leicester City and the city of Leicester Vichai. ?

The sheer number of people going to pay respect is incredible.

This is what finally got me choked up. Been feeling very shifty and aimless until seeing that picture. 

 

We press on, and Foxes never quit.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but looking at the images from the air, I think the pilot needs to also be recognised as doing a great job of limiting the situation. I can't honestly believe that it was dumb luck that the chopper came down where it did. Not sure if there's anything like a black box recorder but I hope that we find out if he did do this. If so it should also be recognised.... he will have saved lives.

Very true,it could have been a lot worse imagine if it had hit the stadium on the corporate side or the Holiday Inn.

Crikey, what happens to all the tributes on things like this?

not sure, but would love them to be collected up and kept by the family as i token of respect/appreciation for them of what they've done for us

Fully agree, the pilot has to have had an input and if so he needs to be remembered as a hero

This is said with the utmost respect:

 

Please don't tell people how to grieve. I can see it affects some people more than others but if people want to talk about such a thing, they should be allowed.

 

 

I’m not sure how you have come to the conclusion that I am telling people how to grieve but fair enough. 

 

I just didnt want this thread to turn into arguments about statues.

Was talking to my friend in Leicester just now - he was planning on going to Morrisons after the football finished yesterday, but decided against it - and is glad he did since it would have taken him past the stadium at the time of the crash or thereabouts.  He went today instead, but didn't have enough money to buy any of the flowers Morrisons had left...

Promise I'm not in tears.

 

Even in the darkest hour, light still shines through.

Incredibly difficult to put into words how I feel.  Many emotions.  Sad, gutted, upset..., but also proud, thankful and honoured.  To have been part of the recent history, led by some truly wonderful people.  The legacy of Vichai will go on and it’s down to us all to carry it on.

Just got home from the stadium, very sombre and quite harrowing but I'm glad I've been to pay my respects. Still can't get my head round it though, it feels like a soap plot or something. I felt physically sick seeing the crash investigators working in the distance

Again, not to be argumentative, I read the comment about "that's for another time" as suggesting it shouldn't be talked about. If it wasn't mean in that way, no problem

The football family never ceases to amaze me. Just had a Saint offer me his two cup tickets for nothing. He then added I hope you win it for your owner.

Any idea when we will hear some news ?

No, but is possible the Thai stock exchange will play a part?

That really won't come into it. Its a public interest incident which will be commented on once facts are established. The family wishes may play some part but business will not be considered. 

[broughtonblue]

At palace today ???

[ajthefox]

Not really sure what to say, still feels quite surreal really. 

 

Wish I was in Leicester and able to go and pay my respects.

[Sunbury Fox]

I've spent the whole day reading this thread and listening to tributes on the radio. Lost count how many times that I've just started crying - from seeing and hearing the kind words of other fans to my youngest son waking up this morning and asking straight away, "Is there any more news?" This is a boy who has grown up in London but like his two siblings is firmly part of our Leicester City family. Vichai, you will go down in history as a legend - the man who made the impossible possible and showed the world that a person can be dignified and humble as well as highly successful. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Doubt it, they wouldnt deliberately withold information before Monday trading. The reason may be mostly down to identfiication - remember this is a private aircraft taking off not from an airfield, but a football ground. There would not necessarily be a passenger manifest.

 

Feel for the people on the scene today, just a few metres from all the tributes and flowers, probably a pretty grusome job for them to do.

Should i put it in my mind, that nobody is alive.

I think we all feel probably that we'd have expected to have heard something by now. I'd be very surprised if there was no announcement before 10pm.

This may well be the case but lets wait for the professionals and experts to investigate before jumping to any conclusions.
