    This means no disrespect what so ever as what has happened is a huge tragedy and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
    But they have decided to go by Coach to Cardiff instead of flying there. Why would they fly there anyways surely it's only about 2 - 2.5 hours on coach anyway.

    Why drive when you can afford to fly

    Wouldn’t everyone do that

    And as sad as it is I don't get why clubs have decided to pay their respects with a minute silence. Hope we don't follow suit.

    How do you think we should pay our respects?

    Same way other clubs did when we lost Rimmo and Patrick as I don't remember other clubs having a silence for our loss.

    ******* hell.

    All deaths are obviously tragic but if you can’t see the difference in this case then you are clearly bonkers.

    Bit stupid driving as statistically a coach crash is far more likely.

    Clubs that can afford it prefer to fly to long distance away games because it avoids staying overnight.

    It’d take a lot longer than that wouldn’t it?

    They’d be going down on a Friday which is the worst day to get anywhere. I’d imagine 3 & a half to 4 hours road journey.

    Loads easier for Leicester to get a flight especially when you consider how close East Midlands airport is

    2hrs 58 minutes according to the AA route planner..... but that's assuming the traffic conditions are good... I would put about 30 - 45 minutes on that

    Not really. They've just witnessed a horrific air accident less than a week ago. If it had been a coach accident on sat maybe theyd have flown. Dont think its stupid though. Longer term maybe but not when less than a week ago.

    I do recall other clubs showing respect. Didn't we see Jimmy Armfield given the same respect with Patrick at games played at the time?

    Wouldn't they have to drive to the airport?
