' Protest against Blackburn home '

I won't take any part in this as I feel the timing is shocking!!!

Lets wait until its mathematically done and then protest like hell!!! Stay behind after games ect ect

Not now!!!

I tell you one thing. If you think we're laughing stocks now just wait until we f**k up promotion, then we have the world laughing at us

Don't you think we would be a bigger laughing stock if we look to have excepted the money then once in the prem and gained promotion we all of a sudden protest ?

Jonny Owen is a complete clown, who cares if he has joined a facebook group. Waste of a human

you gotta love this though

I don't really care if Tan goes to be honest. Big deal. I reckon we'll end up in administration when he ups and leaves anyway because I can see him taking all the profit out of the club for himself and using loans to keep the club going.

The only profit tan will make is from the repayment of his loans to us as the club runs at a loss. Therefore a cardiff city in administration is worth nothing to him.

I wonder how many of his other companies he sucked of its assets, made a quick profit and left it in administration? None. So Why are we any different.

How do you know this? Plus the stadium itself is worth more that he has loaned so far

Our fans never do anything amicably its always ok or extremely bad!!

If this goes ahead the people instigating this should be ashamed, why don't they approach the club and go through the right channels.

Its a joke.

Why didnt the club go through the right channels and ask the fans who have kept this club going for a hundred years views on a rebrand and not ram it down our throats !
The fans who have been willing to throw cardiff city's history and heritage , a club that many of our fathers and grandfathers spent years supporting and building , away for a easy shot at premier league football are the ones who should be ashamed
They are the real joke !
Good luck to those running the protest I will be at the front

The timing is totally wrong!! listen we all live in a democracy, we can all stand up in a road and stop a car, or camp in a tree to stop it being cut down... we are on the brink of what we all want red or blue, we need to wait and see what happens.

I don't disagree that the decisions made were wrong, but Christ lets do it properly and not whilst the team are on the pitch trying to win football games.

There are bigger things than people organizing protests.. its a joke

I won't take any part in this as I feel the timing is shocking!!!

That's what its all about, whether its Tan's money or TV revenue money, without it either way, we are screwed.

or in your case, we will fall into oblivion and waste our 114 year history....

People shouldnt be having a go at the fans who want the Blue (and the Bluebird) returned. Generally, they are the long term, diehard fans who care about the identity of the club they love.
Yes, accept things as they are for now, but that doesent mean give up! They have a right to continue to campaign for what they believe in. Its the whole identity of the club thats being ripped away at the whim of a new owner.

Proved Tuesday ?
you had a RED scarf or No scarf what the f**k did that prove, people love a freebie
if it was a choice RED or BLUE scarf and it still was all RED then yes proven.

I won't take any part in this as I feel the timing is shocking!!!

Cardiff City Fans are already the laughing stock of the UK, all teams now take the piss , haven`t u noticed.

Cardiff City fans plan protest against colour change
By Brendan Hughes Feb 22nd 2013





Disgruntled Cardiff City fans unhappy with the club’s change of colour are planning to stage a protest ahead of the club’s home game against Blackburn.

Hundreds of fans have accepted a Facebook invite to hold a “Keep Cardiff Blue” demonstration during the Bluebirds’ home game on April 1.

It comes after pictures emerged of red City scarves – which had been given away free to fans at Tuesday’s game against Brighton – were set alight and left in toilet bowls and soiled urinals.

Actor and Bluebirds fan Jonny Owen is among those to accept the Facebook invite to join the demonstration.


He said: “I absolutely think there should be a protest from the fans that want it to stay blue as long as it is peaceful.”

More than 200 supporters have joined the Keep Cardiff Blue [KCB] Facebook event page since it was created on Wednesday.

The event page was created on the day after fans were offered the free red scarves which the club said was a move intended as a gift.

Supporters told the Echo that about seven scarves were thrown onto the pitch by half time, while several fans dumped their free scarves in the toilets and urinals.

But thousands of fans were also pictured happily wearing the free red scarves around their necks during the match, in which Brighton defeated Cardiff City 2-0.

And the controversial colour change from blue to red hasn’t deterred fans from snapping up Cardiff City’s available season tickets, which have sold out for the next season.

Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust yesterday e-mailed a new survey to members asking them a range of questions including their views on the club’s rebrand.

Chairman Tim Hartley, 52, of Llandaff, said: “We are hoping to understand whether or not people have changed their minds or have generally accepted the new crest and the change of colour. When we initially surveyed fans it was split 50-50.”

Bluebirds fan Tony Jefferies, 61, of Llanishen, said Cardiff City’s decision to hand out free red scarves was a “complete own goal trying to ram the colour down people’s throats”.

He said: “I think they have upset more than were upset before. People were coming round because of the position the club in the league.

“The majority of fans had accepted it but now it has kicked it all off seven months into the season. They would have been better off leaving it alone.”

Yet Mike Morris, who runs http://www.ccmb.co.uk, said: “I was surprised at the uptake of the scarves. I thought it was a great marketing ploy for the club from their point of view to give them away for free.

“I thought there would have been a lot more people who would have objected or refused to take them because the general feeling online was that there was opposition. But the majority of the crowd actually took them and wore them.”

Bluebirds fan Jonny Owen, 41, also said he felt the free red scarves had further divided fans of the club.

He said: “They have basically split the fan base and they have entrenched both sides of the argument.”

But he added: “I don’t agree with anybody taking the scarf, but I wouldn’t agree with anyone doing anything to desecrate the scarf like burning it.

“I don’t think it needs to be in any way violent because I think that exacerbates the problem.”

Be careful what you wish for. I am assured it is red or dead

I won't take any part in this as I feel the timing is shocking!!!

Don't you think we would be a bigger laughing stock if we look to have excepted the money then once in the prem and gained promotion we all of a sudden protest ?

Cardiff City Fans are already the laughing stock of the UK, all teams now take the piss , haven`t u noticed.

Yes I have noticed
I don't really care what other fans think that's just banter and if it wasn't about that it would be about something else , but that's just another reason why we should get some pride back or at least try as long as it doesn't directly effect events on the pitch what's the harm ?

Frivolous to protest while you all continue to renew season tickets, you do realise you are paying TAN before you protest. Almost like paying for the privilege. We should have got together and done this back in MAY, not now. As Annis has said, it's all too late and if those want the blue back so badly got together and did some real planning maybe things would be different.

i read that this as split the fans doesnt that need to be 50/50 for a split well that wasnt 50/50 on tuesday night ..... 99% of fans showed they are behind vincent tan ..... if 200 want to protest out of 23/24000 people then carry on cause it wont change a single thing .... for gods sake just support the team CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB!

Will this be as good as the last facebook protest cos that was awesome!

Lots of people can click a button.

Don't protest. It's the less thing this club needs.

Don't recall it being a rule that a split has to be 50/5.

An equal split is 50/50, not a split.

I have to agree.

Great news. It will have my full support.

An equal split is 50/50, not a split.

If we had to pander to the vast minority of Cardiff fans on every occasion we'd have sold all the players twice over, still been at Ninian park and have no stewards or segregation between the home and away fans.

Red scarfs and ST renewals for next season prove that most support and back Tans vision.

Quote: "Supporters told the Echo that about seven scarves were thrown onto the pitch by half time, while several fans dumped their free scarves in the toilets and urinals" (Unquote)


Is that all you throw away...?? (There's a song in there somewhere)

Stunned by the stupidity of some of our 'fans'. We've never had it so good, I've been there in the dungeon home and away - for a laugh with the boys it was great - the football on the other hand was shite. I still have a laugh with the lads at the City home and away and the football is top drawer, a different colour shirt but still Cardiff City. We are Cardiff City.

Please don't support this protest, a well organised and structured campaign yes, this at the most crucial period of what could be our defining season NO.

Unbelievable really,I would have thought that Tuesday night has shown what the vast majority of Cardiff City fans want, and that is, they are more than happy with the way things are going at the moment at the Club.There is no doubt if any fan wants to protest then that is their right,but do not be surprised if any planned protest turns out to be yet another damp squib, as all have been before.There is clearly no appetite for a mass protest by the overwhelming majority of the fanbase.

Yeah it showed they want a free scarf

so people want TAN out?

we will be fucked, drop down the leauges, unless these protesters have a few million a month to keep us going

Top of the league too, I dunno

Exactly. A spectacular PR OWN GOAL by the club, but without Tan we're f'ed.

The red is a discrace.... Why ? Because there was no compromise, if the badge would have been better designed at least. or the red not so cheap and tacky.

I understand progress and hate it, but doubt we will play home games in blue while tan is around. but as long as there are no more changes like from Cardiff to something else, i get that some want success after years in the bottom tables, plus if there were to be protests, it should be after we gain promotion. then at least if there is no compromise we can say we made our voices heard.

But dont effect the teams display

On here there is a definite fan base who will protest HOWEVER i feel there may be trouble as Tuesday showed the majority have accepted the rebrand and will react to anyone who could destable the club.

Id prefer us in blue, but have accepted the rebrand as part of the deal. Im not a plastic,, sell out or whatever is levied, my only concern is there is is a cardiff city fc.

Jonny Owen is a complete clown, who cares if he has joined a facebook group. Waste of a human

Jonny Owen is not a complete clown in fact he is a Cardiff fan who cares and I have a lot of Respect for.

Stupid idea. I want blue but only when it's financially safe. For now we need Tan and his money.

Protests Tan will laugh his dictatorship head off.

I went to a total of 6 meetings last year, some arranged by our club, others arranged by fans, we had our chance and we never did anything about it.

TO LATE TO PROTEST, the protests should of been way back in August or last Tuesday night v Brighton was in my opinion the biggest chance of all, WE ALL SHOULD OF WORN BLUE.


Just now leave Malky and his team to get on with the job.
