Leicester sets date for first match after "tragedy"


LISTER CITY, England (Reuters) - Leicester City, the rival of the English Premier League, announced their first match after the disaster that hit Thai owner Vicki Srivadhanabraba, whose helicopter crashed while leaving the stadium.
Leicester said a new date for the fourth round of the English League Cup against Southampton was scheduled for November 27 at King Power Stadium.

The match was originally scheduled for Oct. 30, but was postponed after the club's owner died on October 27.

Leicester said in a statement that all the tickets sold for the match according to their original date would be valid for the new date, while those who would not be able to attend the game on time will be able to recover their money, Reuters reported.
