RED SHIRTS AND MILLIONS?........YES PLEASE!!!

Wed May 09, 2012 5:21 pm

Red Shirts? I can get over that.

New badge? Had a few changes over the years so I can get over that.

In return? 35,000 seater stadium, debt taken care of, big money to invest in squad, PMG gone, Sam in the minority share holding, proper marketing push and real potential of top flight football for the first time in over 50 years!

Red shirts? Get over it!!

What ever happens to the shirts, I can still remember Real Madrid, Hereford, Shrewsbury and Scunthorpe, Wembley Millenium Stadium and away trips from Brighton to Newcastle via every league ground in between. Fantastic craic supporting whoever was wearing our shirt....whatever the colour.

I and you are the club's history. Nobody can take that away.

Change happens.......get over it and just support your team.

It's not just that. We would lose the bluebird and with that our identity.
And i'm scared that after next season we would no longer be known as Cardiff City F.C :cry:

I was very much against it yesterday, but in the cold light of day having spent much of the day mulling over the pros and cons, I'm a bit more pragmatic about it. I still don't want it to happen but I may just about be able to live with it, given what the benefits are.

I think perhaps the compromise may end up being, we play in red but keep the badge, that may well appease the majority who are against change, and I for one would be much happier with that.

That's how I feel today since I've thought about it clearly without emotion.

Although if e got to keep the Bluebird and badge I would be 100% for it.

Could not agree more, fans requesting refunds on season tickets are only causing harm.

Accept that football is a business and things like this need to happen in order to progress.

me too even though I am against this rebranding thing. I am happy to accept everything they're offering but at the cost of getting rid of 100 years of tradition is what I'm not too sure about :?

I feel exactly the same, red kit only and 100million surely we must be mad to turn this down!

The only thing i dont like is the change from bluebirds to dragons!.. The rest is ok.. There MUST be a clause in the deal that there is never a name change, CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB stays forever or no deal for me.. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Will CCS now be the DRAGONS DEN.?.. :lol:

Or would you still be for rebranding if you sold your soul and did'nt get promotion next year and was still stuck in the championship?

Re: RED SHIRTS AND MILLIONS?........YES PLEASE!!!

Wed May 09, 2012 6:11 pm

It's not just about the colour of the shirt ffs. They will be taking away who we are.

Who are we? BLUE ARMY.

Re: RED SHIRTS AND MILLIONS?........YES PLEASE!!!

Wed May 09, 2012 6:11 pm

I can't believe some of you, last week we all saying that the city will win the play off's and we will be in the prem, when we all knew the team was not good enough, now some are saying how do you know we will go up if. We get investment. Christ if we can't go up then we never will.

Re: RED SHIRTS AND MILLIONS?........YES PLEASE!!!

Wed May 09, 2012 6:19 pm

Let me think ???
Premiership football playing in red with tanor him gone andplaying in blue to avoiding relegation in league 2,
cos no one will invest heavily in us,it's been tried before

Re: RED SHIRTS AND MILLIONS?........YES PLEASE!!!

Wed May 09, 2012 6:21 pm

Top post.
Blue in Cwmbran is spot on!
I've followed City for over 50 years and leaving Ninian Park was much harder than the thought of changing the colour of our kit.
Lets not be influenced by people who have a different agenda!
