Wez you tried to justify the dragon by quoting we had one on the 1927 badge. I have proved to you that the dragon in question had specific links to Cardiff. You then try to justify the dragon as being our national emblem and again if you want to cheer on the dragon then go watch rugby as the dragon has no specific links with Cardiff as it could equally be representative of Swansea.
There is no justification for having a huge dragon on our badge and just in case it has escaped you, this was Tans justification for it and if you agree with him then you must as barking as he is.
"So I say the bluebird was frightened by other symbols, other people have much bigger and stronger symbols, all kinds of symbols, the ram, what not, what not. You know I am a new football fan so I don't know all the symbols they use, but I say the bluebird symbol was frightened by the other symbols. Then came the strong dragon, the dragon protect the bluebird and the bluebird still remains there underneath the red dragon and the bluebird teach the red dragon how to fly higher, so the red dragon works together with the bluebird."

BU needs to make an announcement to make things more clear. They are getting a lot of abuse for certain things, and it's just because personal opinions of certain members are being passed on as the official motive of BU.

Personally, I believe Tan has done many good things for the club, and certainly a few months ago I would have said a change back to blue and reinstating the badge would have gone a long way to winning me back over.

However as time as gone on the more stories that come out about interferring with the actual football side of things, such as the replacement of Moody with the 23 year old friend of the family, the suggestions of substitutions to Malky, going into the dressing room at half time etc, etc then the more I lean towards wanting Tan out. Also who knows what further stories haven't come out yet!

I guess the point I'm trying to make is this is a 'fluid' situation, we are still waiting for the debt to be converted to share equity as well, but certainly at this moment in time, I personally am leaning towards Tan out.

This really should not be about personal opinions as we would never all agree on absolutely everything, there will always be vary degrees of opinion across the group and all we can do is try and reflect the general concensus of those opinions.

this isnt difficult,there are two defined groups of pro blues,those who just want the blue back.those that want more,tan out,more consultation or whatever. to keep ALL the blues under a UNITE banner it stands to reason you should have stuck with the common ground.blue bluebirds and Cardiff City. tan out is a big issue, and for BU to be credible,it should at least have an official stance on it.

The club progressed massively between 2002 and 2012, but it was always recogniseable as Cardiff City. That isn't the case now.

I know, it has changed in many ways. It is still Cardiff City to me though.
Don't like the red, but I can live with it. It is not the be all and end all in life, I have far more impotant things to do than protest about someone who will not change his mind.
Have a good march though. :thumbup:

Re: Those slagging off the pro-blues

I sick to the death of this false claim.it's been aimed at me on several occasions.

So I ask with all respect and courtesy anyone who feels that they are "Pro Blue" as you call them and have been abused for the single and sole purpose on that fact to prove this.
I do not mean disputes about Rebrand or BU or KCB.
I mean a post or remark aimed at you just because you're blue.

I am willing to ignore the fact that some of the people who have thrown this at me have been pro posters in telling fans not to wear red and telling them how to raise their children.

This is your platform to back up what you claim...

Look forward to reading your response,

Antony( a Pro Cardiff City .)

Excuse me, I am more than happy for Tan to stay if he respects the club's identity more.

I appreciate you like a rant and the sound of your own voice, but the point is that not everyone who is pro blue is anti tan.

I have no problems with these sort of groups because they did fight for the right reason (get blue back) now they want Tan out which I will not support.

The abuse goes back and forth between both non supporting BU etc and BU members so don't play the victim.

Didn't have a problem with BU but it is just how they are run.


Spot on post, like the majority of fans I will support the club as well as the team. It's about time people realised what a great future this club now has if handled the right way and started to appreciate the great things Tan has done for our club.

Having a protest march calling for him to go is futile as Tan is not going to change his mind after investing all that money. If anything I think fans will need to prepare themselves for future changes where some on this forum will have to make the decision whether they will ever go and set foot in the stadium again.

I will answer this by just saying I will never stop going to watch the team I have supported since my father took me to my first game when I was 6 nearly 50 years ago. You can make of this as you wish. I will try and make this clear it's not about the colour, yes I have a collection of blue shirts but also have a very nice collection of red as well now. If the owners change the kit to green then I will also buy them. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME A LESSER FAN THAN ANYONE ELSE ON THIS BOARD.

Would it not be a tad bit hypocritical for you to do the same to fellow Fans by telling them what to wear and how to raise their children?

The only persons opinion who I would take on a BU issue is from Sian or John Candy.

Both who seem to understand the freedom of choice.
