I have heard that there is an 8,000 waiting list for season tickets...and high demand for HOME tickets. I am also hearing that red shirts are now selling well. I do not understand why VT would really care about the 5,000 people who have decided to boycott or set up a poxy gathering in a pub who wear blue and sing a few songs and talk about a load of Bollux that'll change absolutely nothing.
I would like to know where you think BU is going?
I want to hear opinions from both sides? I'm just interested In why people think BU is going places.

As far as I can see BU is a stand for the blue. This stand is needed for the period that Tan is in the club because I for one cannot see him doing a U turn. Basically any new owner needs to see the passion of the blue and without the likes of BU that could quite easily fade away specially if Tan is with us for a few more seasons.
Now if BU grow or not is another question of which only time will give us an answer.

I think that football fans are very fickle.
There are a certain number now who are backing Bluebirds Unite in spite of the fact that we're in the Premier League because to us, identity is far more important than playing Premier League.
However if Cardiff were to go back down again, I guarantee there would be A LOT more people who would suddenly prioritise being blue again when they don't have Premier League football to prioritise.
Personally I just hope that we can stay up AND enough people will eventually see sense to actually make a difference, and make Tan realise what he's done is wrong.
If not then, at least the people who have tried can say they didn't sit back and do nothing.

Very interesting. I do believe more people will join if we get relegated but I believe this BU thing won't last a year

I might tend to agree with you, but having seen the people in charge of it, I can tell just how determined they are.
I think this could go on for 10 years without changing anything and they still wouldn't give up.
Being on the Facebook page and seeing the amount they're doing, having set up a website, a forum, a twitter page, a petition, as well as selling merchandise which seems to be brining in a fair amount of money to Bluebirds Unite with the amount of people i see making orders, then i'd say they have a very good chance of making it last.

Also 10 years is very extreme. There will be a new generation of fans coming through which all they know is red. Sorry but they need to give up now before protests become violent and people start jumping off the Bandwagon rather than jumping on.

Why do you believe that? That's a very damaging and wholly inaccurate statement. All monies raised will be spent on "celebrating" blue. Eg - giving out free blue scarves before a game.
Again, what evidence is there that it will be come violent?they don't "need to give up" at all.. Who do you think you are?!

Well your wrong for thinking that. All the money will go to supporting other events. Also I will add knowing the leadership of BU quite well they are actually out of pocket. I can well believe them knowing the work and procurement they have put into this project.

Until something like that happens all you are doing is judging. You have no evidence that anything like this has happened, I mean has anyone threatened to bury you or mention CCTV cameras.

To me, you're dead against it. That's not debate. You're telling them to stop. Where's the debate in that?
If you don't agree with them, that CCFC should be in blue, fine. That doesn't mean you have the right to run them down at every opportunity with incorrect insinuations & orders to stop.

it is a bitter reply, as Tan spoiled everything Cardiff City for me. FFS we are in the PL, something I always wanted to see, us playing the big boys...
Am I excited? No.
Looking forward to the season? No.
Enjoy Cardiff City (like I have since 1990)? No.
Gonna see any games? No.
I tried to accept it and watched a few games last season. Simply cannot do it. It hurts deeply...
I actually thought of supporting another club, but I cant do that, either. Cardiff City means too much for me. Therefore I am on boycott, no games, no merch, no tickets...NOTHING (until our rightful colours, badge, IDENTITY is fully reinstalled). Until then I'm in exile.

Just getting people's opinions.

If that is for personal reasons that's fine but you do realise that it won't really make a difference. I know this sounds arrogant but it's not like we are not filling the ground etc. you won't be missed by tan
