" FINALLY GOOD NEWS THE BLUES HAVE GONE "

Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that following positive negotiations and in the best interests of all concerned, an agreement has been reached to allow Cardiff Blues to terminate their lease at Cardiff City Stadium on 1 June 2012.

This will see Cardiff Blues' move back to Cardiff Arms Park over the summer in readiness for the 2012/13 football season, and will allow significant branding to take place at Cardiff City Stadium during the same time as it now becomes home solely to the football club.


Of the agreement, Cardiff City Chief Executive Alan Whiteley said, "This is a decision that will allow Cardiff City Football Club to take positive steps forward in terms of celebrating the stadium as the sole home of the football club, while also assisting Cardiff Blues to maintain their future stability.

"It's with the full support of our Malaysian investors that this agreement could be reached and facilitated. Satisfactory financial terms have been reached with the Cardiff Blues to allow their exit, which coupled with the Premier League aspirations of this football club and a need therefore to be in sole control of our stadium, makes this a good solution for both sides. It also provides the ability and impetus for us to fully brand Cardiff City Stadium, celebrating our history and heritage across concourses and other supporter areas, which I am sure all our fans will welcome and embrace.

"We wish Cardiff Blues every success back at the Arms Park and thank them for their openness during negotiations. The agreement will still provide the Blues with the opportunity to play occasional higher profile games at the stadium in consultation with Cardiff City Football Club. We now turn our focus to a comprehensive review of all football club operations, as is the case every close season, from which we can look forward to the new season with renewed confidence."

The Blues are proof that rebranding doesn't work

This news means that the REBRANDING WILL DEFINITELY GO AHEAD....Ominous

This news means that the REBRANDING WILL DEFINITELY GO AHEAD....Ominous

Thats what I was just thinking.
With the Blues playing at the CCS, I doubt the club would be able to go ahead in changing the stadium red.
Now? Who knows.

History and heritage? That would mean blue and bluebirds.

Firstly great news about the blues, rip the signs down now!!!!

The talk of fully rebranding does pop up and they certainly don't dent the current rumours so it clearly has some substance?

"Celebrating our clubs history across the concourses and other supporter areas" doesn't sound like there going to change our club colors and rebrand us etc!

Maybe the Blues got out because of us wanting a Red stadium.

Clearly obvious. The obvious has been there for a very long time !

Annis, can the same be done with the Catering company. They are ripping us off with their prices. Speaking to Blues fans i know, they say the main reason they stayed away from the CCS was the costs of drinks and snacks.

Good news that the Blues are gone. Sadly, so have the Bluebirds.
