It's a total myth that Tan wanted to perpetuate that it was red or dead.
The phrase may rhyme, it may sound simple, but it was never that simple.
You have to stand up for things in certain cases, and this is one such example. It's not acceptable to be held to ransom and not have any input into matters.
It's not just a colour either, it's the prime identity of the club. The bluebird, the colour. Everything else changes, but that doesn't.
The city we play in is clearly the main thing, but to me the colour is as important as the name of the club.

Of course it was a myth, Someone in VT's position would never publicly come out and say accept my offer or your dead. What he did was far more clever, he let the board members and fans look at the alternatives, and the alternatives weren't good. All this talk of we'll stay and help to look for new investors to replace us, OH PLEASE, does even the most blinkered anti rebrand fan think for one second new investors would step in then, when a year before we couldn't get anyone to look let alone invest, and now we had even more debt.
Does anyone believe he would have stayed propping us up at one and a half million pound a month just to carry on relentless whilst we waited for the never to come new investors.
As our CEO said at the time, without new investors we would cease to trade for more than a few months.

It may be the prime identity to you, but to many it isn't, my sense of belonging and I'm sure others will feel the same goes far deeper than a colour, can't think of many who started watching the club because they played in blue and that was their favourite colour.
We have been to Wembley four time s in recent years, I can honestly say I can't remember what colour we played in for either game, and when they run out onto the pitch, checking to see what colour shirt they were wearing was the least of my priorities.
The city we play in is clearly the main thing, but to me the colour is as important as the name of the club.
We all have different lists of importance I'm sure, a bit like a relationship, rarely does everything get 100% every time, but as long as the whole package is acceptable then you push on and stick with it.
Really support is proven when tested,not having things your own way all the time is not the way things work, sickness and health, good and bad, putting the best choice for the club ahead of your own is one such test.

Exactly, when I was watching aged eleven, I don't think I even noticed the colours, to busy trying to learn the songs and fit in, I wouldn't have felt any different if they had been playing in tartan.

Gwyn, at that age you wouldn't of cared less had they become the Cardiff Dragons either. Just saying, the innocence of youth.
The older you get, you build a relationship with a club, only for the icons to be ripped away. From blue to red, it's just ludicrous.
The colours and the bluebird means as much as the hoops do to Celtic and the three lions do to England.
We should be deeply proud of it, not shrug our shoulders and let someone chuck them away.

Just let it go its a small price to pay for club stability and us being in the premiership. I do question the character and intelligence of anyone who is still wasting energy on this topic.
Yes it will benefit the club, because the discord created by the rebrand, and the totally mixed branding the club now has is damaging. Without question, we'd be better if Tan can be convinced to get us back to blue, which has to be the aim.

1. You are not going to get Tan to do a U turn. The sooner you accept it the sooner you can start enjoying what we've got.
I'm getting pissed off with all this crap and believe you me I'm not the only Cardiff fan who is. You march you haven't got my support, it will gain nothing, segregate supporters and damage the club and relationship with the Milaysians, and the club is number one so get a grip!

Sorry mate, but just cos you say something, it doesn't mean every City fan has to do it.
You seriously got a problem with Cardiff City fans celebrating the frickin' bluebird have you?
Get a grip mun. Stay in the pub, watch the game on the TV, do whatever makes you happy, but stop criticising Cardiff City supporters.
Tan is damaging relations by not engaging and listening with supporters. He needs to show the club's heritage more respect.
You do as you please, but I am proud of my club, and I won't shy away from it.

As Chuckles said... What a hypocrit. Don't you think it should say RedorPlayinginbluewithadifferentowner... I'm sure if the board put their foot down then Tan would of allowed the blue to stay.
I highly doubt VT gave an ultimatum to the board. He probably just put his ideas across and the board allowed it.
I just wish that the fans were given the choice on a vote - similar to the shorts vote which I must say was a waste of time anyway

Nothing to fear whatsoever. This is genuine fire and passion, and Tan would expect nothing less to be honest.
Who knows what will change, but if City fans do nothing whatsoever, then you can bet your bottom dollar that the rebrand will accelerate, and go who knows where?
There is nothing in our history to be ashamed of, nothing to fear, so it's right that people who are proud of the bluebird are allowed to show it.
I grew up with people laughing at me for wearing a City shirt, that won't happen now. Nothing to be ashamed of!
