In my opinion that's all an owner has to do is change it back to blue with our old badge or a new one that actually looks decent to become a hero.

Yeah right - thats why The CCS has had two Welsh Dragons flying high all season ........ mixed in with four Malaysian flags ! This is Cardiff City , capital of Wales not Tin Pot Town , Kuala Lumpur ! Take your money & take a hike Tan !I'd rather see City playing in Blue in the WPL than wearing red, the beermat & "Malaysia" in the EPL ! Thats just the way I see it - Tuesday night was a disgrace , on & off the park !

THEY SURE ARE!

Although some supporters seem to be trying to derail the clubs progress!

Too many supporters with their own agendas and not getting what they were previously it seems.

Yes we'd all like to be blue, yes we'd all like to be blue and in the premiership.

Well let's get to the premiership first - why rock the boat?

TALKING SENSE MR POTTA! :geek: :malky:


Serious? "Let's get to the Premiership first - why rock the boat?"

What if I say "let's go back to blue first, why rock the boat?"

The supporters are not derailing our club, there is only one person who has derailed our club. But I suppose it's all worth it to the majority of us just to see Premiership football! :roll:

seeing city in the premiership has been a dream of mine all my life and i know its been most other peoples dreams, so if any fans derail that dream this late on with pointless protests they should be ashamed of them selfs :o


It's every City fans dream to see us in the Premiership. But personally for me, it was my dream to see a blue Cardiff City - the Bluebirds get there who I had supported for 24 years and had a passionate emotional connection to. Instead, it looks like we will get to see an unrecognisable red Cardiff getting to the Premiership. I will never give up supporting my local club, but the elation watching us win and the despair seeing us lose isn't there for me this season. It just doesn't feel the same.


Agreed mate

“Cardiff City has been around for 100 years and that’s a long time for a club,” he told shareholders.

“There is going to be another 100 years for your children, your grandchildren and my grandchildren. We will fight tooth and nail for this club.

“This is not a normal business and when we came to Cardiff City we got into something we are not used to. But we don’t see this as purely a business, it is an institution, one we should be proud of.

Annis

i believe if TG was still in charge of the club we would be Blue.
I also now believe because of the way TG has been sidelined by Tan that we were infact Red or dead. When they announced that the club would stay blue and that TG would look for alternative investors if we did not take up the rebrand i believe now that we would have lasted only a few months before the cash ran out and at very best administration but in all probability back to the high court for liquidation by probably HMRC.
Some people will say he would have not walked away from the club because of the amount of investment he had put in but if you research the berjaya empire he has ditched projects with bigger debts than our club had last may.
My belief has always been that he rebranded purely out of superstiton and the fact that he considered us to be unlucky in blue. Yes there are marketing purposes involved but Tan is a very religious and superstious man and he believes as most chinese peole do that red brings good fortune ( red scarves on a cold tuesday night excepted :lol: )
I also believe if we get promoted and remain in the premier league that Tan will keep control of the club and will stay for the long term albeit bringing in further investment from malaysia and china to strengthen the clubs financial position.
My own personal view is that i feel like i have been bullied into the rebrand but at the same time it is better to have a red club called cardiff city than no club.
I have been following the club for 47 years now and like most of the other dinosaurs we have dreamed of seeing our club in the premier league and lets be honest after all those years of dungeon football with tuesday night away trips to carlisle we deserve it.
I hope the club get promoted and i look forward to having that season in the premiership if it happens and i believe that like all things time is a great healer especially if you are being successful.
I only hope that the malaysians stick by the promise to not alter the football clubs name as i think that will be a different matter altogether and personally the final straw for me.
