Here are some ideas about what each of us can to do protest against the arbitrary re-branding of Cardiff City. We don't presume to tell anyone what to do; make your protest in whatever way you personally see fit but here are ideas to get you started.
• If you already asked for a refund on your season ticket, stay strong and pursue it
• If you didn't ask for a ST refund yet, put your request in writing to the Club (if they re-sell your seat, you'll get your money)
• Boycott Cardiff City home games until our identity is restored
• Boycott all Cardiff City games until our identity is restored
• Let your signature be added to the open letter to Vincent Tan, which is being prepared
• Write to Alan Whiteley, the Chief Exec of Cardiff City alan.whiteley@cardiffcityfc.co.uk
• Write to the Echo and Western Mail to express your protest
• Write to your MP, Welsh Assembly member, MEP and local councillor and urge them to support the aim of Keep Cardiff Blue - we'll help you find the right address
• Refuse the temptation to buy any Cardiff City merchandise from the Club superstore
• Never buy any RED City-related merchandise (official or unofficial)
• Don't buy a match programme
• Don't buy any food or drink inside the ground
• If you subscribe to Cardiff City World, don't renew
• Wear a Blue City shirt to all matches, home and away
• If you have a Blue City shirt with the Malaysia logo, why not tape "Keep Cardiff Blue" over it to make your point?
• Try to smuggle a Keep Cardiff Blue banner into the ground and fly it proudly
• Take a Blue A4 sheet of card or paper in to the ground and hold it up in unison when the teams run onto the field at the start and at half-time (if you can print Keep Cardiff Blue on it, all the better)
(Try laminating your KCB card and it will last all season)
• Sing "Bloooooobirds!" loud and proud at every opportunity
• Try to sit with other pro-Blue fans; let's create whole blocks of Blue at City games
• If you support the Academy foundation, withdraw and explain why.
Special forms of protest are being planned for the first League game v Huddersfield Town. These and other forms of mass protests will be publicised via the KCB web-site, Facebook page and Twitter feed.

Not a dig at you Bluecyw but I may well wear red next season, does that mean I going to receive a load of abuse from our own fans???? This, in all honesty, is the only thing that is making me think twice about buying it. I have a 6 year old son and I'm just a little nervy about what might happen on the way back to my car after a bad result. There are some sound city fans but you got to admit there's some right idiots too!

Natman i've always respected you as a poster and almost always agreed with you, in fact i even remember you PMing me once about a subject we both agreed strongly on.
But now i really think you need to start respecting other people's opinions on this matter even if you're not bothered by the rebranding. I think it's more than fair that some people have been left absolutely gutted by all this, i'm one of them myself.
If you don't understand why then fair enough, but just understand that this is a really big deal for some supporters, and be a bit more respectful.

Scott, I understand and respect what you're saying. My issue is that this is getting tedious now, going over the same ground etc. But further than that I think by carrying on and on and on and on about this issue is going to cause more problems and resentment between fans on either side of the fence which could result in some quite dire consequences as my other post on this thread mentioned. I just wanted to shoot it down as i really don't see any benefit in it, I understand that people have strong views on it but some of the actions proposed and the extremes are just not helpful.

- Attend every home game and most away games
- Support Cardiff City FC while we still exist
