Fake fans paid to cheer Leicester City during Bangkok victory parade

[wabothai]

It's all about marketing = making money.

Hard to get excited about shit like this.

[mtls2005]

Vichai can afford it.

[LannaGuy]

I'm a Cheddar fan myself

[ameadi]

I think TV enjoy to publish negative news.

FOOTBALL So bloody boring!

Sissy Boys play footie whilst Real Men play Rugby!

Exactly, in football they are always playing the ball BACKWARDS where as in Rugby the ball and the game is always moving FORWARDS and sissy footballers are always collapsing in a show of pain when Rugby players continue with fractured eye sockets and even broken legs !

[thai3]

it's illegal to pass the ball forward in rugby, have you not noticed

[Nickymaster]

Says the Sun.. Well, I think the Sun and TVF make a perfect match.

So forward passes are legal now?

I used to like playing rugby at school, running around the field chasing your mates and trying to pull each others shorts down.......

Catch me if you can!

[Mickmouse1]

Did they stop at Soi COWBOY?????

[Berty100]

We’ve had some special receptions when we’ve arrived in Thailand in the past,

We know all about that, don't we?

I hope that the Red Shirts don't read about this Rent a Mob / Crowd idea because they might try it out one day.

If true (for employees/volunteers), 10 quid = 500 Baht is for daily allowance for expenses such as travel and food/bev to this important company-sponsored event.

I've worked for multi-nationals, and this is normal.

But 300 Bha, or less, is the minimum daily wage in Thailand. Don't forget Friday was and unpaid holiday in Thailand, so 500 Bhat and some clothes is a good earner for the one's employed as extras/fans that day.

[ChangMaiSausage]

Leicester are not one of the big PL teams they won something that they should not have had a chance of doing (Some say the bookie odd's 5000/1)

PL football in Thailand is big and for a club to win it owned by a Thai company is huge. It was an opportunity for King Power to show off. You can see the memo sent by King Power management to all employees telling them they can have a day off to cheer on Leicester (that's a few thousand easily + people on the streets)

The Sun is also full of Shi*e

Forgotten 2010 already??

Seems the Sun found out they were having fun on Friday LINK

Sickening Sun, build them up and knock them down and Thai Buddhist do not chant 'om'. Foreigners drinking on a day that banned booze sales, but you could still buy it at the hotel they were in, I f ing well hate the Sun. Bet they have been trying all they can to get a pic with a player adjacent to a Thai woman so they can do another 'expose'.

It concerns the Sun lying about football and fans and the Liverpool incident was the biggest and worst example, perhaps you are too young to remember it?

[rmacee]

They pay extras in movies ... Here same /same paid extras to make the event more 'complete' ..

[Sparkles]

"A year ago a pre-season tour ended in scandal when three players were videod taking part in a racist orgy with Thai girls.

The aces were fired later."

Aces? Don't think so, they were fringe players who did not feature much, if at all, in Leicesters season last year.

One was the former manager Pearsosn son and didnt the club sack them ?

Racist orgy ???? just a normal night for young guys away from home.

[mobiryder]

That's how voting works here so why would this be surprising?

[thai3]

there is no voting any more

Speak for yourself

[jeab1980]

Of course they are paid fans get a grip nobody unless you live in Leicester would follow the football team 99%of Thai's won't have even heard of them before this season. Plus it's a good bit of pin monet for the locals in Bangkok.

[RandolphGB]

Not surprised. The only teams most Thais support are Man Utd or Liverpool, and lately Chelsea and Man City.

The Sun's Hilsborough coverage came from the police and the local papers and press agencies in Sheffield. They were duped by a police cover up, just like many people were.

Pulling guys shorts down...

Sounds like butt dart and you enjoyed being the target..

The Police never told the sun fans stole from the dead, the sun just made that up
