Now lets take 3000 up to the Derby Duckers and smash the cowards.

He's right too - no acknowledgement by the EFL of the fact that over 2000 Cardiff fans made an exceptional effort to travel to the game just a statement that many people would have been leaving around 9am to get to the game!
Do they realise how long it takes to Derby from Cardiff? Do they not actively encourage away fans to get to the ground in plenty of time for kick-off?
How the f**k would we have got to the ground in time for a 12 o clock kick off by leaving at 9am? Or were they only worried about the Derby fans getting to the ground safely?
Or were they embarrassed by the fact that so many fans were willing to travel through the awful conditions in South Wales to support their team over a hundred miles away when the Derby fans who live within spitting distance of the ground were whining that they couldn't get their cars off their drives?
Well done the club and VT on this - going a long way now towards repairing the damage done by the rebrand and proving regularly that lessons have been learned and that they are acting in the best interests of the club and the supporters.

Official Supporters Clubs Coaches only will be refunded.
Thursday 22nd March 2018
“Whilst the Club has noted the EFL’s findings in relation to the postponement of last Sunday’s game, it doesn’t mask the disappointment we feel.
“Of paramount importance to us throughout this process was that our supporters were treated fairly and with respect. Today’s findings don’t acknowledge the wasted efforts and expenditure incurred by those who travelled to the game last weekend.
“It was our contention that the very least we could expect from this investigation was that our supporters would be recompensed by Derby County: not as an admission of wrongdoing on their part, but as a simple human gesture and in the spirit of the game. For this not to be forthcoming has disappointed us more than anything.
“I’ve been in contact with Tan Sri Vincent Tan throughout this process and, in the absence of goodwill, he will be personally reimbursing all officially organised supporter coach travel that made its way to the postponed game.
“We now look forward to putting this unsavoury episode behind us and concentrating on our targets for the remainder of the season.”
For further information, supporters should contact their respective travel providers.

Taking it that is aimed at me and a few others.
Yes it is a good gesture by Tan but lets me honest here it not exactly as he will miss the money. Tan took the dignity away from the fans with the re-brand because he could. This trying to buy us back because of gestures like this does not sit with me and my fellow dislikers of him. Until Tan goes public and apologises for the idiotic re-brand it is still Tan Out from me regardless of what he does.
We wont be bought like some on here.
