I've mentioned it before but Dalman has been the only positive appointment in Tans reign and without him I think we would be further in the shite.

If it truly happens then honestly the feeling is better than our 'fake' promotion.

Buzzing right now!!

For the first time in years I started shouting Bluebirds at the top of my voice in the house!!!

I cannot wait for Ali to announce ' Cardiff City - The Bluebirds!!!!'

Tweet from the city encouraging more emails-
@CardiffCityFC: Thank you to over fifteen hundred #CardiffCity supporters who have written to us with honest & passionate views today, with more coming in.

Expect the announcement to be early as Malaysia is 8hrs in front of us

I hated the Red from day 1 but loved the Club too much to walk away but respect those that felt so strongly that they stopped coming. However I think it was vitally important that many fans kept the Blue alive within the stadium and it looks like that stance has now been vindicated.

What we must all do now is unite with no recriminations after all we are ALL Cardiff City Fans and we will ALWAYS be BLUE

Absolutely gutted I can't make the game on Saturday. f*cking mother expecting me to be at her 50th birthday celebrations!

Respect to all involved and well done to Tan and the board if the reversal is formalised.

So friggin happy

We are back.........we always be blue.....

Saturday will be better than winning promotion. Never boring being a City fan!

omg,,,, cant wait to see Tan reverse the rebrand and renew our colours back to Blue.... ile be renewing asap....

Gutted I can't make the game on saturday , can't miss my dads 70th, but I tell you what he for one will be relieved not to hear my anti rebrand rants anymore!!!! IF and I reiterate IF VT does this U turn tomorrow!

Whatever happens A BIG THANK YOU to all the fans representatives tonight, from the feedback given, YOU DID US PROUD!!

Any ideas how long it will take and how much it will cost to remove the impact of rebranding at the stadium? There is a lot of red to be removed.

Isn't it up to the clubs what kit they choose on match day? That's what the club said after the white kit at B'mouth. So let's have the blue kit worn on Saturday....can you imagine the reaction when the players walk onto the pitch in blue!

Playing away, yes. Home I believe is a different story.

You can wear your away kit ONCE at home... Maybe this Saturday...

Very positive

Have felt apathetic towards my beloved club for a while now.. Winning/losing really stopped mattering to me. This is so f*cking great if all comes true. CMON CITY!!!

Wanted to be part of this amazing thread and thought it appropriate to remind us all why we are called the bluebirds



The origin of Cardiff City’s nickname, ‘The Bluebirds’ is truly fascinating. It had started being used, along with ‘The Cardiffians’, ‘The City’ and ‘The Citizens’, after the club changed from their first colours of chocolate and amber to royal blue and white, sometime around 1910.

There is a connection with a classic children’s play, called The Blue Bird, written by the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck in 1909. The bird, a symbol of happiness, is pursued by children who want to imprison it in a cage and the play’s theme urges us not to try to hoard happiness for ourselves.

This play had come to the New Theatre in Cardiff in late October 1911. It received good reviews during its six-night run and a week after the production had left town, Maeterlinck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his symbolist plays including The Blue Bird and Pelleas and Mesilande. The publicity surrounding the play’s arrival in the Welsh capital and then Maeterlinck’s honour led to an unknown Cardiff City supporter deciding to call the team, resplendent in their blue strip, ‘The Blue Birds’. Gradually, it emerged as the favoured nickname before being adopted officially by the club.

At the time Cardiff City appeared in their first FA Cup final in 1925 and took the FA Cup out of England for the first and only time in 1927 the club sported the coat of arms of the city as their emblem. These arms were granted on 26 August 1906. The shield of the arms bears a red dragon, the national symbol of Wales. The dragon symbol has been in practically continuous use since the Romans brought it to Britain. When Rome withdrew her troops the dragon remained as the symbol of authority and unity among the Romanized Britons and became their standard in the wars against the invading Angles and Saxons. It was from this emblem the war-leader would take the name Pendragon, and would particularly be associated with the semi-mythical King Arthur. To this day the red dragon remains the national emblem of the remnant of the ancient British people, the Welsh, and as such appears in the heraldry of many Welsh authorities.

The dragon upholds a standard upon which is emblazoned the bearing of three silver chevrons upon a red background They are attributed to Iestin ap Gwrgan, the last prince of Glamorgan, who lived in Cardiff Castle about 1030-1080.

Our dragon plants the staff of the standard upon a green mount whereon he stands, and from which springs a leek. The origin of the leek, the floral emblem of Wales, is the battle of Poictiers where, if we may quote Fluellen (Shakespeare’s poor attempt at writing Llewellyn) from Shakespeare’s Henry V, “the Welshmen did good service in a garden where leeks grow, wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps.”

The supporting Welsh goat represents the ancient mountains of Glamorgan. The hippocamp or sea-horse , represents the Severn Sea and the carrying trade of the port. The motto beneath the shield reads ‘Y ddraig goch ddyry gychwyn’, meaning of course “The red dragon will lead the way”

Cant wait for Saturday.

Cant wait for Saturday.

Agreed, Nobby, but I think FRIDAY might just be a great day, too!
