Doesn’t the owner there get a helicopter to the games?

Sky News reporting it's the owners helicopter.

Yes. Thought to be owners helicopter. Just seen a picture. Really doesn't look good

Looks awful

Just got an alert about this. Immediately puts me in mind of Matthew Harding.

North Lower Neil

Hope they managed to get out before the fire, looks horrendous.

Nobody can survive that surely. Awful

Have to hope as well that no one on the ground has been caught up in the incident - Going by that video clip it looks like it could easily have been a small fire bomb rather than innocently catching fire

Jesus that looks bad. Fingers crossed everyone got out in time.
Some proper cunts on twitter replying with horrendous comments

Echo other’s comments. Hope all are okay.

Fortunately the car park looked fairly empty

Hope everyone is ok and safe

Looks horrendous, you don’t survive that IMO, hoping as little people as possible are on board

Breaking is that the owner, sporting director and pilot have all died.

Rest in peace :-(

Not doubting that there have been fatalities but where is that confirmed?

I can’t see this confirmed on any major news outlet

Swisdom

Lots on twitter
Pics of him taking off after the match (as he did every game)
Pics of him getting into it
Talk of lcfc staff stating they are deceased
Lcfc spokesman confirming they are assisting the police but nothing more at this stage

There’s nothing official but it’s all looking bleak

Hope it’s wrong

cabbles

Seen a tweet from someone confirming owner was on board, chap called Ben Jacobs

Stig

I guess there won't be anything official until families have been informed. Unfortunately, the worse seems likely.

Very tragic day for football today it seems. Hoping Glenn can pull through.

Seen a video of the Leicester owner boarding the helicopter shortly before it departed and can't imagine anyone surviving so I would imagine the rumours are true.
