Top's back 'to get closer' to the fans

CHAIRMAN ARRIVES AS CITY LOOK TO REVIVE HOME FORM

- Jordan Blackwell

CHAIRMAN Aiyawatt “Top” Srivaddhanaprabha will be in attendance as manager Marti Cifuentes bids to end Leicester City's rotten home form and avoid a toxic atmosphere, writes Jordan Blackwell.

Top said in a rare interview last week that he “wants to get closer” to the fans as he reaffirmed his commitment to the club, and he will be in the stands at the King Power Stadium when City take on Stoke today.

He has spent the past few weeks in Thailand during a period of mourning in his homeland following the passing of the Queen Mother. Now back in the UK, he is beginning to make good on his vow as acting chief executive to get to the root of City's problems. However, he will hope not to see the home atmosphere turn ugly again, as it may if the winless run goes on.
