I wouldnt want a different Cardiff club more than you do, but whats left? my CCFC is dying a slow death, I know some see it as achievement, to me and many others its heartbreaking. and I really mean that.

to me the only thing left is the name CCFC, and I define my club's identity by its colour, crest and name. the values of my club, the traditions...things that are currently stamped on.

said it b4, seriously tried to accept the changes, telling myself it doesnt mean anything, just carry on. but i cant lie to myself.

still got a bit of hope left, someone would come in and turn things around. but our problem is our disunited fanbase, if we stood united against the changes, we would have succeeded. and I dont mean bully Tan, but to make him realise his path is wrong.
but as us traditionalists were laughed at, belittled and even threatened, the divide became greater and many of us drove this even further away.

all of you, who find it funny, call people names like drama-queens etc ask yourselves if your actions might have a direct impact on what is happening now?

of course, a new AFC Cardiff wouldnt be the same as the club we grew up with, but it would/could be more "our" club than the red CCFC currently is.

and what options do we have?

- support a rebranded club, that feels foreign to oneself? honestly, at this very moment, I feel more passion for Wrexham...
- pick a different club to support after all these years?
or
- try to establish a new local club along many of your old mates, trying to carry on the traditions and identity of your beloved original club. not the same, no...but better than the first option


yes, it is just a game, but for many of us our CLUB (not the name or the colour) matters most. imagine Tan would have left us blue but changed crest and name? my reaction, my feeling would be the same as it is now. it is unacceptable, its not just a name, its not just a colour, its not just a crest...it is our CLUB, our heritage, our identity, our tradition, our passion...

if you find that funny? well, cant help you then...

Honestly I have no wish to belittle you but when you make a post like the one above it is hard to take you seriously.

There is no structure to what you say nor are there any solutions or suggestions to how we pay our debts etc. Also you seem to be saying that a name change is OK, but a change in kit colour and badge are red lines (no pun intended)

The only fleeting idea is that somehow we were going to change the mind of a ruthless business billionaire by standing strong (whatever that is supposed to be?)

I'm sorry your post is a fantasy world and really stinks of a group of older fans who are now throwing their toys out of the pram.

Personally I want the blue kit to return but I'm not in denial and I realise that I will have to go through all this rebranding before that happens. I just think it makes much more sense for those with the passion for our heritage (nothing wrong with that) to insure that they lobby hard for a return of the blue kit once VT has proved a point and made his millions.

There is no chicken before the egg and it makes much more sense to have a proper plan of action where everyone is a winner rather than just burning your bridges for the sake of it.

PS I stated it was not my intention to belittle, threaten or abuse your opinion, but sometimes an opinion can be so bad that the reply does come across as doing just that.

lazarou :D :D the lowest!!! you then got to get your ground passed even welsh league grounds have got to be to a certain standard and a lot of those clubs have been around a century, who is going to bankroll this idea????

I'm not for a new team, but why make up garbage like they would start in the Lazarou league.

no mate, the name is as important as is the colour or crest. thats how I define my club, its colours, crest and our name. these are things that should never change, small amendment to a crest ok, but nothing radical like ours from bluebird to dragon.

sorry if that didnt come across
