Amy Woodfield
BBC News
A printing company in Leicester is hoping to raise £2,500 to cover the cost of a huge flag to be taken to the Leicester City game in Cardiff at the weekend.
The plan is for the 20m x 15m Thailand flag to be passed around the whole of Cardiff City Stadium, including by home fans, as a tribute to the chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Printvision is also hoping to raise enough money for 15 smaller flags to be held by travelling Foxes fans.
Ash Patel said: "Cardiff City’s owner has asked whether we can make a giant version, which could surf across the ground before kick off. This will be poignant and we’re desperate for it to happen.
"If we get over the £2,500 then the rest of the money will go to The Foxes Foundation."
