Leicester City has revealed how it will mark the passing of its chairman and owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha at Saturday’s home match – including the first indication of the route a fans’ march is to take.

City will line up against Burnley at the King Power Stadium at 3pm in the team’s first home fixture since the helicopter crash outside the ground on Saturday, October 27.

Thousands of fans have said they will march from Jubilee Square in the city centre to the ground - and anyone planning to attend the game is asked to leave plenty of time in advance to travel.

In a statement this evening the club indicated the walk, which will set off at 12.45pm, will follow a route including Upperton Road, Raw Dykes Road and Western Boulevard.

Ahead of the game, the vast swathes of tributes placed outside the stadium are set to moved to "a designated memorial area" and the book of condolence is also set to be relocated.

Once at the ground, the thousands of supporters will be invited to pay tribute to the chairman and the four others who lost their lives.

Saturday’s match has also been selected as the club’s annual Remembrance fixture and a two-minute silence will be observed.

In a statement, the club said: “The Premier League fixture is the Foxes’ first home game since the tragic events of 27 October, in which five people, including Khun Vichai, lost their lives in a helicopter accident outside King Power Stadium.

“And those lives will be remembered in front of a capacity crowd on Filbert Way, as the club once more unites in tribute.

“A special ‘Tribute to Khun Vichai’ video will be shown on the big screens at 2.45pm prior to our 3pm kick-off and fans will receive gifts of commemorative scarves, pin badges, clap banners and souvenir matchday programmes in honour of the club’s late chairman.”

Supporters are asked to ensure they take their seats by 2.35pm at the latest.

The statement continued: “The club is also aware of a significant supporter tribute march from Jubilee Square to King Power Stadium shortly after midday and advises all supporters to leave additional time for their journey, as this is expected to impact traffic in the city centre around Upperton Road, Raw Dykes Road and Western Boulevard.

“Road closures will be in place as the march passes through.

“Current guidelines are that road closures may be in place two hours prior to kick-off.”

On the Remembrance event for the war dead, the club added: “A two-minute silence will be observed before the game to honour those sacrifices as well as the five lives lost at King Power Stadium, with supporters encouraged to raise their scarves during the silence.

“At half-time, veterans and Armed Forces personnel will parade around the pitch. Donations will be accepted around the ground for the Royal British Legion – a cause for which City’s Remembrance fixtures have raised £250,000 in recent years.

“Tribute t-shirts will be worn by the players during their warm-up and Khun Vichai’s name will be embroidered on the team’s match shirts during the first half.

“The second half shirts will bear the embroidered poppy symbol - a tradition proudly started by Leicester City in 2003.”

The book of condolence, which fans have been able to sign for a number of days now, will be relocated to car park E until Friday, November 16, after which it will be in the same location on matchdays for the foreseeable future.

Condolence books will be available in all hospitality areas on the matchday.

The club added: “Ahead of the game, tributes left outside the stadium will be relocated to a designated memorial area on car park E close to the accident site, where supporters are requested to leave any additional tributes on Saturday.

“A selection of material tributes will also be placed around the King Power Stadium pitch for the fixture.

“In a further mark of respect to the Football Club’s late chairman, King Power Stadium will display two large commemorative banners outside the North Stand, while a flag will be held aloft by the East Stand as the players enter the pitch.

“Supporters are strongly advised to allow plenty of time for their journey to the stadium to ensure a prompt arrival at latest by 2.35 pm and to give everyone the opportunity to take part in what the club hopes will be a fitting tribute to our late chairman.”

Tickets for Saturday’s match are sold out.

National Rail engineering works will also be in place between Leicester and Bedford, it added.
