The foxestalk thread has a growing number of classy messages from other clubs across Britain, including Brighton fans.

Like many of us, I’ve been been to Leicester to watch us play a number of times. Can anybody explain where the crash happened in comparison with the corner where the away fans are?

From what I can gather, it came down in the car park where the LCFC staff park, and at the opposite end of the ground where fans would make their way away from the stadium.

A witness on Radio 5 Live said two police offers attempted to open the door and smash the windscreen before it exploded.

Opposite end to away corner.

Partner just told me what happened as we got home, I’m truly shocked. Obviously there is no confirmation about what has happened right now, but if it is true that both Srivaddhanaprabha and Puel were on board and the worst has happened...you don’t want to think it, you hope that it isn’t what you think it might be...either way it’s an incredibly tragic end to what should have been a happy day of football. I send my commiserations to the families of those affected and to Leicester.

SSN reporting Vice-Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and Director of Football Jon Rudkin were not on board.

Where have they said the manager is involved? All I have seen is confirmation that the chairman was on board.

Can’t comment on their source, just repeating what I heard on channel
