Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha: Watford 1881 Movement looking to raise funds to honour Leicester City owner with banner
By Harry Gray  @harryjbgray
 

The 1881 Movement has launched a fundraising effort to help pay tribute to tragic Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.


The Thai businessman, who helped inspire the Foxes’ miraculous Premier League title success in 2016, was one of five people to die following a helicopter crash outside Leicester’s King Power Stadium on Saturday.

With the Hornets set to visit Leicester on December 1, the 1881 Movement is looking to raise £500 to fund a banner paying tribute to all who died in the accident.

A statement on the appeals gofundme page read: “This is our donations page for Watford fans to contribute towards a banner that we intend on taking to Leicester City on December 1.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends of all on board and of Leicester City football club as a whole at this sad time.”

Union FS are working with the club on possibly having a display.

 

If they are not given the green light then I am sure the club will have their own plans.

I hope they let the fans do it. Will mean 100 times more.

I thought they were trying to do something for the Burnley game.

I'd have imagined that the club would have already had their plans in place for the usual remembrance fixture display so UFS wouldn't have room to do anything then even if there was time

Saw this on Twitter. The support and gestures from our footballing family is truly astonishing and humbling. In times of tragedy and adversity we're a good bunch. 

For all the stick football gets, this is so true.

Alright ladies and Gents. 

Firstly, my condolences to everyone effected by the passing of the 5 on the 27th of October. It truly sends a message that none of us know when our time is up. Your owner gave the rest of us hope that we could all “do a Leicester” some day. And the work he is well known to do in the local community of Leicester is remarkable. Such a human being that he will be missed by thousands of people not just Leicester city fans. May he forever Rest in peace. 

I started the gofundme page, and just wanted you to know that all surplus money (currently £500) will be donated to your late owners charities that he backed in the local community. 

Football is a funny old game, but when other football fans are down, I’d like to think we can all stick together. 

All the best for the season. See you all on the 1st of December. ??
