Subscriber Dan+ Posted October 28, 2018 Subscriber Posted October 28, 2018 Confirmed. It's a dark, dark day.
Dave Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Lost for words. Thoughts with everybody affected.
Smiley Culture Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 The confirmation of the news that I think we’ve all been expecting since the incident happened and footage emerged yesterday. Sad news. RIP.
Honey Honey Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 An rare owner who understood what a club is to its community. RIP to all involved.
Scousermum Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 So tragic. Thoughts are with the families and of course all the Leicester supporters. Rip

Administrator Stan Posted October 28, 2018 Author Administrator 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.
Smiley Culture Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Not really the time given it’s still very soon after the announcement but what is the shareholding like at Leicester? Who owns the club now?
The Artful Dodger Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Pretty much identical to Matthew Harding all those years back. Always been scared of helicopters.

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.
True Blue Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 R.I.P to all that lost their lives, such a tragic day for all football fans.
Administrator Stan Posted October 29, 2018 Author Administrator 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.

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 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.

God knows how much they paid to have that footage. Such a shit rag paper. I'd love to know who's sold it to them as well. 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 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.
DNA Posted October 30, 2018 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.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted October 30, 2018 Subscriber Posted October 30, 2018 I've watched the video. Can't bring myself to share it but to anyone who has seen it - I just cannot believe they took off after that puff of smoke at the start.

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 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.
