Not sure who’s seen what but at this moment of time no one has been mentioned to have died however they’ve also not said if anyone has survived. Sad times for the club indeed.

For all that don’t know, the clubsHelicopter crashed just after take off leaving the ground at the end of the game.

Sadly it looks horrific and it’s speculated that it’s the clubs owners helicopter. Praying for everyone inside or involved in the accident

It does indeed look an horrific and probably tragic incident. The Club owner was not thought to be on board. Fingers crossed for all those involved.

Is that the latest thinking, Al? I was just reading reports that said it was thought he was on board.
And reports that the manager might have also been on board.

I’ve read one story saying he wasn’t and I’ve read he was. Sadly anyone on board will be above, there’s no way a crash of that magnitude will have survivors. My heart truly does go out to all involved

It was a report on Sky News at 10.00 when it was stated the owner had not attended the match but that his father had and was thought to be on board. Latest reports do not confirm this though.

According to Ian Stringer of the BBC he saw various members of the backroom staff in tears, so it doesn't look good. Not forgetting that the pilot may have perished, too.

"The condition of billionaire Mr Srivaddhanaprabha is not known, but he is believed to have been on board according to BT Sports pundits in the stadium who watched the helicopter take off." - Daily Mail

I feel that if the Chairman was safe an announcement would have been made already. However, it's all speculation of course at the moment.
