Barry, respect to you for trying to get the Malaysians to engage with us on this, something they SHOULD have done from the very beginning!

k.r.o

We, the undersigned, as Cardiff City fans and fans of football in general, believe that the colour blue is synonymous with the club, and has been since the club became known as "Cardiff City Football Club" back in 1908.

We also insist our Bluebird to remain no matter what on our badge, in fact it should be larger.

We are extremely grateful for the amount of work that Tan Sri Vincent Tan (VT), Datuk Chan Tien Ghee (TG) & their associates have done with Cardiff City FC (CCFC) since they arrived back on 27th May 2010 & their efforts thus far, to guide the club to the Premier League, but we feel that the changes to "rebrand" the club is a step too far.

In May 2012, plans were announced by TG to totally rebrand CCFC and strip the club of its traditional blue shirt to a red shirt with black trim. A change was also made to the club crest and the "dominant" symbol of the club became the dragon. In return for this, VT promised an injection of large sums of cash to put the club on a sound financial footing and to make a real effort for promotion to the Premier League. The club's Malaysian investors believed red to be a more dynamic colour for marketing in Asia, as well as of more national significance in Wales.

it is vital to point out that none of this was planned with any fan consultation at any point.

CCFC had played in blue since 1908. We won the FA Cup and competed in the top flight in those colours, we are the Bluebirds. A huge part of our identity, history and tradition are bound up in the colours, badge and nickname of the club.

We feel that football ownership isn't a business like any other. Dealing with people's hopes, dreams & tradition. 100 years of history & club tradition shouldn't be easily disregarded in order to gain riches or success.

We the undersigned, ask that the colour blue is returned as the clubs primary colour. We feel that the red shirt should be reserved for the away kit, to enable the club to use the shirt to promote the club in Asian markets, which the owners feel is vital for the club's growth.

We also ask that if the club do not wish to return to the original crest, that they consult with the fans to create a new crest to go forward with, incorporating the famous Bluebird.

It must, however, be stressed that we DO NOT WISH to force VT, TG & their associates to leave/abandon the club. We would like to place, on record, our thanks for their contributions to the club and from saving CCFC from certain financial disaster.

It was OK until the last paragraph - brown tongues and begging bowls aren't really appropriate. I'm not going to sign (as much as I'd like to see us in Blue again) because VT will do what he wants and hasn't listened to any of us so far - totally pointless trying IMHO

What the hell is going on in this thread, it's going from 7 pages to 4 pages, back to 7 pages, conversations regarding annis meeting chuckles appearing, disappearing. Wtf?!

Shame you don't feel it's appropriate to sign.

He may not have listened to us so far, but giving up without a battle isn't the way forward either.

Hope you will find it in yourself to sign, instead of carping at others who want to give it a try.

Superb Lads and Lasses

How's this coming along now?

Its like starting a facebook page:

"Who would like to jizz on Cheryl Coles face"

Youd get thousands sign up but the reality is youve got no f*cking chance of it happening.

Sorry but thats the reality.

Just roll over then...

Bump bump bump

Nothing yet, the newspaper said they'd ring me this week.

In other news, we will be featured in an article in a free Local newspaper. A friend of mine works there. He's also given me some tips on how to cover the story.

He also suggested a headline - "Would Fred Been Seen Dead in Red?" With Fred Kenor statue and a blue shirt.

It's a possibility!

Well, no. But it's primarily for CCFC fans rather than fans of other clubs. But yes, if you wish to do so, you can.

i posted it on the leicester forum and there were decent enough responses, thought id give it a go to boost the numbers

Signed. f**k wearing red. We are the Bluebirds. My tattos would look shit in red too.

As I am fairly neutral on the rebrand (hate it but it seems we had no choice) why is this different to what that KCB lot did,are people changing their minds?

KCB Wanted direct action and no compromise. What Chuckles is doing is keeping it moderate to entice the pro re branders happy. As they are the one's that excepted it reluctantly. We need a voice to show that we won't roll over. Because we excepted this so easily the nickname will be the next to go because we have shown there is no opposition ! So is that right ? How far would it have to go before you make a stand ?
Everyone was terrified that VT would pack his suitcase if we objected before but now he is in far to deep to pack and run so the fear factor has gone. We can now make our concerns heard. VT to try and recoup this mess needs to get us to the Prem and he can't slow down now can he. Lets now be heard,

............
Sorry mate but that is bollox the kcb was and could have been whatever the anti rebrands made it.... fanschose not to accept the KCB simply because they were scared VT would f**k off and now Barry Chuckle is the in thing because he creates a poll ....give me a break....it's the same argument and you have switched sides.

There were many polls and many ideas thrown around and you lot of hypocrites ignored it,now chuckles is the leader is he?,well let chuckles arrange a meeting and see how many he gets or is that going a step too far.............all bollocks....The debt has't been dealt with and even though we are doing well on the pitch you lot know the KCB were right all along but you will never admit that will you?..................................

That makes no sense at all.

Get behind the club, not the colour.
