Making money from the dead

Leicester City supporters have criticised fans who are trying to sell special items made in memory of the club's late chairman on eBay.

Saturday's match against Burnley at the King Power stadium was the first home fixture since Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was killed in a helicopter crash two weeks before.

Bags containing scarves inscribed "Mr Chairman", pin badges, programmes and clappers were left on more than 30,000 seats prior to kick off.

The commemorative programme, running to a hundred pages, includes tributes to the Thai billionaire from figures including former manager Claudio Ranieri, who led the Foxes to the Premier League title in 2015-16.

Pretty disgusting tbh mate.. but some people will always try and turn a buck ...

Over 50,000 took part in the commemorative march to the ground on Saturday - the ground only holds 32,500 ... that's a better story than these scrotes ...

 

But some from the crowd are selling the gear. Or was it available outside the ground?

 

You could buy all the stuff without attending the match if you had a mind to ... whoever it is is probably hoping to get bids from the Far East ... be real funny if you can buy it all in the club shop for a tenner

 

People will always try and make money from any kind of misfortune. This isn't confined to just this game.

 

You get it everywhere from Grenfell fraudulent claims to people claiming they got hurt in the Manchester Terror Attack, sadly the country is littered with folk who have no morals.

 

Very true Tel. We are living in a claim culture

 

HIAG will be putting a claim in for Unfair Butthurt on here. It’s ok though cos brb has insurance.

 

Surely it's John Terry's fault.

 

Why, is it his dad selling them?

 

No. It's just tradition to blame JT.
