Do you remember the billboard that Bu done,All they did with that was advertise their logo.The logo should have been down in the corner and the rest of the billboard should have had big letters asking tan for a return to blue .
an opportunity was missed there.

The only way to influence Tan is to wear blue. That's all everyone who cares about our heritage and tradition needs to do. Wear blue. Everything is a waste of time and difficult to organise and get agreement to.

How do you know? The media have picked up on marches and after game sit ins and banners and songs. I can't recall much comment on the physical fact that the ground is blue.

For gods sake, of course it's great that everyone is wearing blue, but everything helps, and I hope the pre Utd game protest is big, because if you care about our identity, you should be on it IMO.

The Hull thread you are correct but on this thread I am being completely honest and fair, you just think every post is trolling.

If they were so serious about their beliefs then they wouldn't choose to do a march every so often, doing it once every 2 months just shows how passionate they are. :roll:



Their first march was against City which was our first home game in the top division for 50 years. The eye was on Cardiff so they did the march because of the exposure they would get.

Now, they are doing it against United which whenever United play the eye is on them. Thus meaning that the march would yet again get good exposure.

Marching every other week would get tedious and they wouldn't get the same expsoure against marching before Newcastle etc. I am not a support of BU but get some perspective.


I know why they are picking them matches to do the marches but if they were really serious they would attempt to do it every home game.



Why? It wouldn't get widespread attention that they want. The more that march the more attention that they get. As I said, people would get bored marching every other week so the numbers would drop and people wouldn't take it as serious.


If they are doing for it 'attention' then that really says a lot about the group. Attention or not if they was passionate they wouldn't care about the media covering it but doing it for the love and passion of the group.

More nonsense.

I think you and others like you are just jealous of people who have the deep passion over the matter which you clearly don't.

If you don't care, that isn't anyone elses problem but yours.

To make up wild and ludicrous lies like "they are egomaniacs" is just absurd in the extreme. The group has a name, the woman who started it has a name and a face. If that makes someone an egomaniac in your eyes then sobeit, but you are wrong my friend.

If you listened to anything, listen to the name of the group 'Bluebirds Unite'.

The clue is in the name and your nitpicking achieves nothing. To be honest, I doubt it even makes you feel that great. Calling people who are willing to do stuff 'egomaniacs' is a pretty depressing viewpoint, and I'm sorry for you that you have it.

You don't care, you can't be arsed. That's up to you, but I'll be damned if I'll let you slag off people who do care without good and valid reasons to do so.

Firstly, thats not clear as daylight at all.

Secondly, Bluebird37 is one person. What he says doesn't reflect the thousands of others anymore than what you say reflects everyone on AnnisAbraham.co.uk

If you want blue, why not just commend everyone that is working toward it in their own ways.

If you don't want blue, buy a train ticket to Bristol City and leave people who care to get on with it.

I don't mind if you don't give a toss about the bluebird on the badge or the colours or whatever. That's up to you. When you start slagging off others for no reason and putting them down for the crime of giving a shit, then I will criticise your viewpoint.

I was just giving a prime example of one person. I am not slagging them off, just saying it how it is and being truthful.

I support them but some are in it just to be more known.

I'm sure their next one will be. What people need to understand is that to be taken seriously as a pressure group, people (and the media) need to know who you are. That really is very important, so in the early stages, it's crucial to get the name out there.

Going forward, it's less important as now, most people know what Bluebirds Unite is. I'm sure the next billboard would focus on other matters, focusing on blue etc,

Bet better to not alientate the fans they need on board as well.
Sorry cant stand BU would never support them, my personal opinion is they come across as belittling bullies. I will just wear my blue.

some good points here.
But it does seem all about the Bu logo.Does anything they sell ask for blue back?
Maybe they've lost sight of why they were formed.

[quote="Nuclearblue"]Its got to a stage now its all about Bluebirds unite and not about Cardiff City. On merchandise there is nothing about Cardiff City on there. That is strange as they can have our name and Bluebirds unite on tops being sold. It sems some are now more into self image, and fans are now being turned off in droves.

A great idea but it is more about personalities than the objective.

The sad thing is marches etc will not make an impact. The sit in after the jacks game was a good idea but needed a lot more bodies than was there.

But the truth is the club will not be back tracking on this red shit as our future has been decided and red it is, But we as fans can do our bit to protect our identity by not wearing the red and keeping tbe ground blue is the way to piss Tan off. That way its a visual not even Tan and Lim can suppress.[/

Is there a point to being visibly blue if the "club will not be back tracking " ?

Surely all opposition to Tan is worthwhile ?!
