CARDIFF C FANS TO MARCH AGAINST REBRAND SAT 22nd MARCH 2pm

For those supporters like me who want to see Cardiff stay in the Premier League, I think the timing of this march is terrible, along with action inside the ground at 19 mins 27 secs during the Liverpool game. In order for us to have any chance of surviving relegation we need to stick together as a team and supporters.
Part of that means generating an intimidating atmosphere together at each home game, to make an impact on the opposition, and that won't happen if we have the Blue shirt faction versus Staying in the Premiership rivalry amongst home fans - and there will be because I've seen it happen at previous games.
I'm not saying don't voice your feelings, it's just that before and during an important game that we want to try and get something out of couldn't be worse timing.
My preference would be to delay any protest until we are mathematically certain of staying-up or going-down.
However, if you'd prefer us to be relegated because making a protest about playing in blue is more important, then proceed with the protest.
Part of the reason I say that is because several fans I've spoken to (not all admittedly), say they'd prefer us to pay in Blue at any cost, even if it means us dropping down the leagues, (and a couple said even if it meant playing Conference football).
I respect their opinion, as they are Cardiff fans, but I've spent over 40 years supporting CCFC, hoping to see them reach the Premiership one day, and I'd hoped that once we reached it, we wouldn't be a one season wonder, and we'd be able to consolidate, like Swansea.
And for those of us who would prefer CCFC to try and stay in the Premier League, I've also been impressed by the views of Danny Murphy, who's been there and done it with Fulham in 2007, and his 5 tips for avoiding relegation. The full article is here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26473475 but tip no 4 is 'Minimise off the field upheaval'. Having a protest before and during a game will have the opposite effect.
Finally, I know there's a lot of anger directed at Vincent Tan at the way he has acted, but he is not Cardiff City, and Cardiff City will be around long after he goes. I think this protest will hurt Cardiff City in the longer run at least as much as it will hurt Vincent Tan..

this is exactly my opinion, and i have been writing this here before, but Get only a lot of stupid comments back. My friends in Wales have the same opinion as you here and they have also supported cardiff in 40 years.
90 0/0 of the fans thinks the same more or less, but its more the other 10 0/0 Thats here on the forum I think.
In 1990 about i saw cardiff in third division, as 2 nd league today, with 3-4000 people and shit football.
On saturday I will see Them vs Liverpool in PL together with 27000 people! Fantastic.
For us the football means much more, for others colours means all.
OGS Asked all involved parts to concentrate on the football rest of the seson, and just stay behind the players. Then take the rebrand fight after the season, but no 10 0/0 want listen to anything in this matter. It is a pity for a great football club.
Chanting Tan is a wanker every 5 minutes, doesnt help either. Noone are unsturbed by the protests, for sure not the manager and the players, Even if they will have to say so.

couldn't DISAGREE more. The best home atmosphere we have had this season was Man City and the crowd were fired up as we had just come off the Protest March. Also I can guarantee there will be another FANTASTIC atmosphere this Saturday and the We'll Always Be Blue will be sung louder than ever before. Face it, we are never going to stop until we get back our Blue and Our Badge. Blue Army!

The atmosphere may depend on where you are in the ground - it may be like you say in the Canton End, but where I sit in the Ninian Stand, there are a few people who are already fed-up with the antics of the Blue brigade, damaging the team, and haven't been afraid to tell them, so that won't help the atmosphere.
It's not that most people wouldn't welcome a return to Blue, but that at the moment we see Premier League survival as a more important issue..
And for that we need to be together..
Having this March on Saturday before and during a crucial game will only divide fans more, not unite them..

Probably a good thing that you stay in the Ninian because The Canton is Blue and I don't think you would last very long in there.

Yeah..well done, that's exactly the type of fans togetherness we are going to need on Saturday...Canton stand versus Ninian Stand...Championship here we come...

I can't understand that comment the "blue brigade" most fans want blue largely supported by the trusts results .I will never knock anyone if they wear a red top or anything with the current badge but to suggest about the antics of the fans who care about their heritage and history is a bit poor. If they are having a go at people wearing red that's not right either, but how does fans singing about being blue damage the team do you know if this is true. I would say the chant usually rescues the atmosphere when it starts to go limp.

i agree,we will always be blue does lift the atmosphere, but there are chants that have the exact opposite effect..

Of course chanting about off field issues will distract the players and cheapen the atmosphere.

I would say that the atmosphere against Liverpool will be something to remember, even if the result should go against us. The important thing to remember here is that not only will the pre match protest peacefully send a message out that we want our identity back it will also show the watching world that we are still as passionate about our Club and our team as we have ever been. On our day, the best vocal supporters bar none, home and away.

Are you really as stupid as what you write, or are you a bad comedian? Get a job instead .

Why mention it then?

No it wasn't. Two clubs both fighting with owners to retain their true identity, coming together. I thought it was great.

And when has that ever stopped football fans thinking rationally?

Routledge had dogs abuse from us, Marcus Bent too, yet all they done was the same as Campbell.

a month later and still crying over FC getting abuse.

Wipe your snot you big cry baby.
