Branson in a pickle?

The funny thing is there were many on the BU website moaning the other week about the Canton being sponsored by the Welsh tourist board because the adds were coloured red,for gods sake that is the colour of Wales.It appears to me there is no reasoning any more to blue/red debate,it just seems whatever CCFC do now is always wrong to some.

Yes, that's stupid. Nothing to do with the rebrand.. Again, these aren't the views of BU as a group though.

Just another case of stronger moderation required.

Although, I do agree with James. Moderation of fans comments needs to be improved, I've said this myself on their page in the past.

I offered to help for free of charge and build a proper site and do it professionally but they declined. It would have helped me as they are a registered company so could have been added to my works portfolio. So they would have got a professional site and I would have got a portfolio piece done. They declined, it's their loss now as I have had work coming at me from all angles. Oh well, I did volunteer to do work freely.

Chuckles,I accept these are not the official views of BU,but it does appear to be the views of a fair proportion of their followers/members and that is what is coming out into the public domain.These comments will not do their group as a whole any good,if they have any sense they will have a word in this weeks meeting about moderating some of their extreme views or the majority will turn against the group.

As I said, I've already told them that their comments need to be reigned in, for the sake of the group.

Well, maybe they declined as you have been against the group/their views from the start & don't share their views. The chap who runs it is totally part of the group.

Fair enough mate,perhaps you should get invoved.

Does Sian Branson still attend games?

Rob, I've been involved more on an informal basis, I'm not on the committee or anything, but have attended a meeting or two.

Just posted this onto their group & forum:

There are many on the BU facebook page/other social media who are posting their views against Tan/Asian backing...

To me, this is doing the group no favours & is alienating the people we are trying to get on board, the reluctant reds. Whilst you may have personal feelings regarding Tan, these are not the views of BU as an entity & when they appear on the BU pages, it looks like they are also the views of the group.

To be fair to the moderating team, they are voluenteers and cannot be online 24/7 deleting anyone who says things like Tan Out, so I suggest/appeal to people that everyone moderates themselves when it comes to making comments & remember that any comments that could alienate anyone who is looking into joining, is a backwards step for the group.

Well said Chucks,I doubt it will have much affect though,you can but try. Cheers

If they're going to let their emotions interfere with their business in terms of a professional capacity then that's a fault of theirs, not mine. I don't agree with the way bankers go about things either but if Barclays offered me money or the opportunity to work on their website then I would set my emotional/personal views to one side and approach the task in hand professionally.

Does Sian Branson still attend games?

She claimed she wouldn't watch a game again whilst we played in red, however since promotion she has renewed her ST and will attend as many game as she can. Who are the plastics?

More lies from the troll to suit his agenda.

Apologies Baked, I had read on here that she had.

As for Chuckles it didn't take him long to keep me off ignore! If I was a troll i'd be banned long ago by Baked himself, who is a moderator, you are not. My agenda is to get the blue back, your agenda seems to rubbish those who have different opinions to you and then label them "trolls", a spurious claim to say the least.

OK , sorry everyone - I should have read the messages below before posting.

6:14 in................. I hope to be in the ground for most of the games.

There are no marches planned against tan...we will be around for as long as it takes for someone to see who Ccfc are and how you can identify a Ccfc fan..Sian is a great leader and I'm proud of everything she has done and for one am right behind her..all groups say the wrong things from time to time,whether it be goverment ,charities or owners of football clubs(who have been media trained by the way)...bu is a great group of youth,old,families and people all with the same thought Cardiff is blue and should stay that way.. I've been all over the country and people come up to me see my blue shirt and badge and go oh Cardiff city fan...that's gone it's said now with a chuckle and maybe a wise crack..the bouncy castles and fun days are so we can show our kids what Ccfc should be all about and what we grew up with..Kcb were threatened with violence now bu members are being spat at and abused for collecting signatures and you all moan because Sian said a little something out of context...we've been stood together for years on the terraces all in blue..now we're divided and the club don't look the same...I for one am disheartened and I'm sure Sian feels the same as do all of bu...that's why we're here and trying our best...we will stay united red ,blue,prem or division two...some wont ,but you know inside yourself in that blue blood running through your veins who you are...as my brick says bluebird till I die and we should all know what that means.

Family fun days to show kids what CCFC is all about?? Get a grip will you. We are family club of the year, just take em to CCS and they can experience for themselves.

All I'm interested in is us playing in blue again - what continent our sponsors, backers, and pre match and half time entertainment comes from doesn't bother me in the slightest. The people with serious money in South Wales would gladly have seen us go to the wall as far as I can make out.

post of the year!!! no argument what so ever

Just listened to it, unbeleivable

Where do they get off on calling match going Bluebirds plastics when the leader of the group is coming out with whopper like that. Won't attend games in championship but will try and be in the ground for as many games as they can in the premier league? Sounds like plastic to me.

Some of the BU members are confused theirself.

Fair play lambo, I've read some shit on here but that is definately top 3. I've been all over too, and trust me when we were 4th division people gave our club no respect whatsoever regardless of our shirt colour. Oh and your brick is still true, after all we are the Bluebirds, Cardiff City Football Club. Unless something has happened to change that.

Sian is a great leader.My heart skipped a beat when i read that.
More like calamity Jane.

If you don't support bu your not a real fan but if you didn't turn up for a whole season your passionate

Now where in the premier league she's rediscovered her passion.

It's ridiculous posts like this that are alienating BU and stopping people even taking the group seriously.
I'm currently in Majorca and have spoken to a lot of fans of different clubs. Not one has said anything negative or sniggered at us as some would have us believe.

some have commented and we've been in agreement that we miss the old days and they miss coming to ninian park etc but they, like me realise that football has changed beyond recognition from those days and as much as we may miss it its gone.
Every fan I have spoken to realises that the rebrand was beyond our control and it's just a part of football becoming massive business
