Leicester City FC

[Tashyboy]

Don't really know why I am posting this on here but anyway.

Just sat mulling over the last hour or so. Been on telly again ( East Midlands area) about the terrible events at the King Power stadium. I remember when we emigrated from Rochdale to Mansfield in 1970. Remember when me dad took me to the old Filbert st at Leicester to watch City. I might of been about 10. I remember when City played Leicester the year they won the title. I thought were gonna show you who is champions. We had our butts handed to us on a plate 1-3 I think, we got dicked. I remember schmiechel, Huth, Morgan, Drinkie, Kante, Vardy etc etc being monster. I remember thinking after the game thinking I hope they do it.

I look at how there chairman was loved by the club and the City and what he has done for the City and the club. Compared to other chairmen in the Prem league, he should have sainthood status. Missis T tells me there is three days of mourning in Thailand which ironically finishes at the day before we arrive next week. I look at Leicester City FC and there fans and think this is there Manchester Utd/ Munich history. Bradford City/ Fire History ( the day me and Missis T got married). Liverpool/ Heysel and Hillsboro. And quite frankly it is a crap History that no club wants.

I don't know how, but I hope that somehow the fans, club and the City can somehow move on from this tragic event and once more pick it self up and put butts on a plate again.

Thoughts and Love, Tashyboy.

Nice words Tashy, life goes on and I'm sure the team/fans/city will bounce back in time

Great words but you've seen from other tragedies, once that initial mourning and sense of loss has gone, clubs and their fans move on and want to be bigger and better and find some way to suitably remember what has happened. It's very sad but Leicester City FC, the staff, players and fans will get on with it. The next game home game will be very hard for everyone

Nice words Tashy. By luck, me and my son decided not to go on Saturday, only the third league match that we’ve missed in two years. Although, we would have been long gone by the time of the crash, we sometimes saw the helicopter flying in and I am glad that my son doesn’t have that memory.
Genuinely, I have never heard a bad word about the owners and this tragedy has come as a shock to the city. We will move on though and even more determined to put Leicester on the map in Vichai’s memory. That’s the thing, the Premier League win has given the city a spring in its step that goes well beyond football and we will use this as a springboard to move forward with more focus.
