Administrator Stan Posted October 28, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted October 28, 2018 This set me off earlier as well after going to the NFL at Wembley. Classy touch, like they have done with other major events or disasters. It's really heart-warming and moving seeing all the tributes come in from other clubs as well, not just in UK but also rest of the world. Just goes to show the effect his leadership of our club and personality in general shone through and resonated with the world of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Artful Dodger Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Pretty much identical to Matthew Harding all those years back. Always been scared of helicopters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who owns the club now? I'm presuming his son, Aiyawatt, will take the reigns for now. Vichai was always the chief owner but they would often be seen at games together and be the face of the ownership together too. Aiyawatt ('Top') has always been the most involved along with his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted October 29, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted October 29, 2018 Moments like this make you realise how much he was loved. Especially so with Vardy and Kasper, who it seems their relationship went beyond being players of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who owns the club now? These are all things that will have to be addressed at some point, but you would imagine it'll fall to his son for now although I'd completely get it if he wanted to sell up given how hard it is for him to probably even face the place. I get the feeling from the messages the club have sent that he wants to create a legacy, but I'd completely understand if he wanted to call it a day here, and even if he did, what an impression they truly have made. The footballing side of things are going to be very weird for a while. It's hard to know how the players and management will react to it, but I do think there will be significantly less pressure from the fans at this point as it's a tough time for everybody.

Dave Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm not going to post the link to it but The Sun seem to be almost glorifying in having hold of some horrendous footage of the helicopter taking off and spinning out of control above the stadium. God knows how much they paid to have that footage. Such a shit rag paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infuriated me that someone has sold themselves out for money in such tragic circumstances so soon after the crash. Above that fury, though, is the solace in overwhelming volume of tributes from clubs, players and fans from all over the world. This blew me away.

Bluebird Hewitt Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 BBC reporting that our match with Leicester will be going ahead on Saturday, with a minute's silence taking place before kick off. Really unsure what sort of atmosphere there will be around the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The video of it posted by the Sun from pitch side is crystal clear and truly horrific, wish I hadn't seen that, obviously from someones mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted October 30, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted October 30, 2018 I've watched the video.

I'll leave it to those who get it. They're saying now it's to do with the rotor. In other news, his son has today said he's committed to the club. Absolutely massive respect to him. I think we need to temper our expectations completely this season now and I'm saying that as someone who has probably become a bit overly critical of everything. This is a very tricky period for everyone involved. Everyone must get behind the manager, players and other staff, and in-particular Aiyawatt. No big demands from me. Just survive.

Administrator Stan Posted October 31, 2018 Author Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2018 This is quite sensational. A true example of football family coming together. No obligation or requirement to do such a gesture or banner but out of fans own pockets and kindness in their hearts have this Watford fan group done this. Furthermore, any donations above target go to the charities in Leicester which Vichai committed to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
