BBC Leicester commentator Ian Stringer is a stalwart at King Power Stadium and lived the ride of the 2016 Premier League triumph. He is a man who knows the club inside out and was there last night commentating on the 1-1 draw with West Ham.
He says: "The routine I have seen hundreds of times is the chairman walk out in the middle of the pitch, sometimes with a guest or family, or his son. The chairman would then get in the helicopter and take off and up it will go. When I left the stadium, the helicopter was there glistening and white in the middle of the green turf under floodlights as it always is.
"This is a very close football club. Remember they pulled off the greatest sports story ever at this stadium when they lifted the Premier League trophy. The Thai owners brought success. It is a tightly knit club and the possibility of injuries to any of their own are going to cause massive amounts of stress."
