SPLITTING THE FANS

Yeh coz we are so close and together.

Valleys V Cardiff
Valley V Valley
Skinhead V everyone lol
mods V rockers.in the old days maybee but always been there.
Real fans V plastic fans
proper fans V knuckle draggers
Sit downs V stand ups
Mike Morris board V Annis board
trust v you decide
Inner circle V outer circle
For Sam V against Sam
For Ridsdale V against Ridsale
For the march V against the march
For hooligans V burn the hooligans
New stadium V old stadium
Dave Jones V take your pick
Long ball V short ball
Move the canton,V keep it where it is
Hate Dayo and Adam Brown V no one coz we all agree on that (calm don people its only a commercial)

I'm sure there are loads more divisive matters people could add, so this crap about dividing the fans,it ain't new it just how it's always been. Just try and keep it in perspective.

You have accepted the rebranding of the club to date to the extent of the change of home shirt colour and that of course is entirely your perogative to do so, but is there a "trigger point" for yourself when you consider the rebranding to be too much and would publicly disagree with it?

At a recent meeting with the club`s acting CEO you were one of a number of fans that advised him that fans would reluctantly accept a degree of rebranding , but that any further rebranding would cause increasing levels of unrest and discontent among the fanbase.

For you would that be a total dropping of the bluebird and/or reference to it , changing the stadium seating or cladding from blue to red , not playing in blue at all even in away games , dropping Cardiff City to become firstly just Cardiff then the Cardiff Dragons? Or is there no amount of change that would cause you to openly criticise the club on the rebranding issue?

To me it's unanswerable, it would be a bit like asking a father what would it take for you to disown or stop loving your child. is there a tipping point, what if they become a junkie, or pedophile or mass murderer, do you stop loving them, my view is you try and treasure the good times and enjoy them rather than never relax for thinking about what if.

That's the way I try and deal with life, and you for one know I've had much bigger serious things than a colour change to worry about, fed up of the what if what if scenario, for f**k sake what if you get knocked down by a bus tomorrow. Just live your lives and try and enjoy the good times when they are with you, because sometimes you don't appreciate what you got and you don't always get a second chance.

Very true Gwyn you don't realise what you've lost until its gone sadly

In all fairness Gwyn, I think this is a much more emotional issue than those you state above. I'm pretty sure people would never get as fiery and argumentative about Dave Jones's plus points and bad points as they would about what colour our club plays in.

There was nothing more emotional than Valleys v Cardiff Back in the Day.
