"WHERE WERE YOU ALL 12 MONTHS AGO!"

Fri May 31, 2013 11:10 am

The rebrand ship sailed 12 months ago.

Last May I attended a meeting with Annis, Nukes, Dazzy T.....Bluebird1977 (Ian) was coming but couldnt get off work and some others where we discussed ways of getting rebrand reversed. After the daft ideas of painting pitch blue, blue smoke bombs on pitch etc were discounted we agreed on we would do whatever it takes as long as it didn't disrupt the team up until the Huddersfield game. Due to lack of fight and commitment shown by our own fans I had to make a choice.....either accept the fact we now play in red or hand over my ST (i still maintain that in my opinion, those are only 2 viable options) I couldnt give my ST back so swallowed my pride and got on board. I didnt like it but wasnt prepared to let it ruin the game I love and the club I love in the coming season.

12 months later........12 MONTHS LATER we get all these idiots now wanting to kick up a stink, protest, email and set-up petitions. Talk about closing the stable door after horse has bolted.

WHERE THE f**k WAS EVERYONE WHEN WE WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SAY NO TO THE REBRAND 12 MONTHS AGO??

It's not gonna change now. That time has come and gone.

IMO you all have the same choice to make as I did.

The majority of the fuss hasnt be about the rebrand. It has been the fact we are being sold and represented in a terrible home kit. As hard as it may be for the minority to accept, the majority dont care about the red. Its the shambles and the cheapness of our kit that has angered people.

As I have said in other threads nobody expected any blue in our kit and the anger has come from how poorly represented we are going to be on the world stage.

The truth is they arent. On the messageboards they are but the messageboards dont represent the majority of fans. On the messageboards people have been kicking off about the rebrand since the day it came about but the reality is the majority dont actually care about the colour.

Why is it too late? We're in a stronger position now.


How can we possibly liquidate with a season in the prem ahead?

The rebrand is set in, most fans don't care, everything around the club has changed to red.........they aren't gonna waste money changing it back now. The time to fight was last May, we had 3 months...before the changes, we had a choice back then.......that choice has been taken away now.

Basically Craig the failure was down to leadership. Just none generated from the episode.

I was in the meetings in the Ninian and the Muni also Craig but I have struggled to accept it unlike yourself and I will continue to moan and groan on here until we return to blue no matter how long it takes,if I am a pain in the arse then so be it,I am a paying fan and I have the right to my opinion,I don't give up that easily.

I didnt say not to moan, im talking about the sudden rush of anti rebrand from posters never seen before. If there was this much fight 12 months ago things may have been different.

There was this much fight, then Tan got cold feet and apparantly lots of people emailed the club asking him to stay. :roll:

You consistently complain when people are making some sort of effort. The good thing is that no one's going to listen to you.

I bet you were probably one of the few people saying that we should protest at the end of the season, but still moan when we do.

Oh dear God.....yes i called them idiots......those who didnt bother doing anything 12 months ago when we had a real chance of keeping blue and they only bother kicking off this past few weeks. If you tried 12months ago you are not included in that group.

It really isnt hard to grasp.

There was no real leadership 12 months ago, like Ian said. Every time people are posting ideas etc on here to help get blue back, you're always quick to shoot them down. Is Tan bumming you?

Checked some time sheets i was on the way bac from work in exeter, the ship sailed there was no leader willing to stand up or a face everybody knew, it wasnt me, it wasnt you, time went on people seen money over everything and football moved on to something new inside the ground. Modern football in here weather we like it or not nobody cares enough to lead anything big enough to counter anything that was done or been done and take the flack that comes with it, besides im 99% sure nothing will change everyway as nothings changed before so why now, there will only be more changes around the club clearly. :ayatollah:

And that's the sort of attitude that will get us nowhere. You can carry on thinking like that but don't shoot us down when many other people make an effort. We don't give up that easily.

So basically you went to a meeting and then did what every reluctant red did and still attended. So In reality your no better or worse then the rest of us.

"Better late than never", ever heard of the saying?

Whether you like it or not, we're in a much stronger position financially now. Liquidation is no longer a threat and pro reds can no longer peddle the "red or dead" shit anymore.

Time to take this dictator out :ayatollah:
