At least there were a few floating in the urinals at the end of the game.

I am convinced Annis had I been at that game I would of walked away for good. Remember I came down with flu and I couldn’t even get out of bed never mind to the ground.
But I remember the reports coming out during the game and I was in disbelief at what was happening but I was more sickened with our fans for turning the stadium red.
But now I realise it was the best thing that could of happened as it was the turning point and the final nail in the coffin for that despicable Red. It made people sit up and realise what have they done ? Many who took the scarfs suddenly realised what they done and it hit them like a hammer, our Blue had gone.
You have heard the saying you got to hit rock bottom before you can bounce back and that was our rock bottom.
Never forgot what happened and by who but just as we were getting our identity back it still left a fractured fan base. I really couldn’t see a way back for us all but then came our messiah Sir Neil Warnock who I still believe was the only man that could unite us again.![]()

I’m not a tan malky warnock Harris Sam Risdale fan. But I am a Cardiff city fan.
I can’t understand what all this recent purge of super negative anti Cardiff posts are about.
I’m a very straight and honest man please tell what the agenda Islas I don’t want to presume anything that is incorrect.

It is an episode best forgotten. Being bitter about it 6 years on achieves nothing and will get us nowhere.
I'm more concerned about our form and would rather concentrate on that.

I've supported City since 1962/3 and love the tradition that comes with following a team in the Football league, but the over-reaction of grown men to a change in the colour of shirts for a couple of seasons is beyond me. Bellamy, promotion, Premier League - shirts aside it was fun..

Yes and that was the sad part of it. People were prepared to take it for success. To many success trumps anything else.
But to defeat the red we had to do badly sadly and us that fought for the blue back knew that. And I have said before had we stayed up we would still be red today.
But many protested differently some walked away whilst others including me stayed and made ourselves a pain in the arse which pissed of the red supporters.
It was bleak times where fans got threatened including one fan being told I know where your kids go to school. Me I was threatened by email but I would never back down.
In fact that email tore friends apart in some cases. But I’m glad myself and thousands of others fought for what was right and Annis saying the only time he sang wasn’t to sing we will always be blue and that is true. And don’t that time I never saw him celebrate when we scored either.
I think I was very close to walking away when it was reversed and many time I thought about I was more angry with fans that totally accepted it.

I heard those rumours about " I know where your kids live". I have my suspicions who made those calls though but can't prove it.
A certain individual dropped his mask when he said to TLG and his good friend Tracy after a meeting at the CCS that there were guys from the Rhondda who were not happy with the 2 of them and it was said in such a way that it made it a threat. When asked if he was threatening them he backtracked and said I'm only saying to forewarn you. There was no one from the Rhondda on their way but it showed you how this guy thought. He no longer follows the club and I say good riddance to him.
