Cardiff City match to go ahead.

A minute’s silence will be observed before kick-off at the Cardiff City Stadium and players will wear black armbands in Khun Vichai’s honour.

An announcement on the rearrangement of the Club’s EFL Cup Fourth Round tie against Southampton, postponed earlier this week, will be made in due course.

The toughest match to mentally prepare for, but I've never believed in the players more either to be galvanised and play their hearts out.

 

LIkewise for the fans travelling there to sing their hearts out as well.

This is very true

[Corky]

I really hope they can win but if they don't, there's always next week. They've been through so much and deserve every credit for their conduct.

[Harry - LCFC]

Not an easy decision to make I'm sure, but I'm pleased the club have chosen to play.

[foxfanazer]

Very brave of them to agree to play. Never has the result been less important 

[Sharpe's Foxes]

It's actually good for the players and all involved.  At this point they need activity as part of the healthy grieving process.

[Dave Fishwick]

I would not blame any player for wishing not to play if they were still affected by this tragedy. Especially those taking up the club's offer of counselling. I worry about Kasper's mental health in particular, he seemed one of the most affected and that is at a position where we couldn't afford any mistakes.

[Haywood_6]

I respect the clubs decision to allow the game to go ahead, they would have consulted the players and the manager first I assume.

 

The result really pales into insignificance after the tragedy but let's hope they put in a performance Vichai would be proud of.

 

I'll be there with my family, no doubt feeling emotional but getting behind the team all the way.

[evil jack]

Well that's it then.

 

 

[KFS]

Each and every one at this, players included; you know what to do. 

[Captain...]

I would understand if the club asked for this to be postponed, but I think it is definitely the right move. The best way to honour Vichai is to continue the excellent work he has done on and off the pitch and that includes confronting adversity and making the brave decisions. The sooner we are back on the pitch the sooner the healing process can begin. 

 

[Mickey O'Neil]

Not convinced we’ll be fully mentally ready but the players obviously feel they can do Vichai proud.

I think it's the right thing. The lads need to get back on that pitch and I'm sure - to a man - all of them will play with an intense vigour.

 

Come what may, we're with you every step of the way boys!

The boss would approve 

[ajthefox]

I think if the lads had to wait another week they may end up just stewing. Sometimes it's better to get these things out of the way.

[sly1]

Win lose draw 

[smr]

I think Vichai would have wanted them to play.

[lanefox]

Quite fitting that warlock is going to feel the wrath of leicester city 

[Fox92]

Fair play.

[LCCFox96]

I think that's the right decision. Tonight 100% should have been called off but hopefully the reprise until Saturday gives the players chance to grieve properly and channel everything they've got into a positive performance in Vichai's honour. We, as fans, will do our part too. Let's go Leicester!

[weller54]

Score irrelevant.. 

Just want the players to get back out there and play....Hopefully it will help in their grieving process. 

Make Vichai proud lads! 

 

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

I just wonder if our players are mentally up for it this soon. Like many of others, they are probably still in shock.

 

However I am certain our late Chairman would have wanted it played,

[Haywood_6]

I think a banner/flag should definitely be made for this in his honour
