Sorry mate , if you consider the traditional colours of a club as nothing more than a brand me and you are cut from a completely different cloth and will never agree on anything in respect of what is currently happening to our club ( or brand as you / tan refer )

I think if you actually check the history of Cardiff city FC est 1899 you will find that traditionally we played in gold and greenand were called riverside FC, therefore te club has gone through a complete rebranding before as well, if you were 100% traditionalist surely you'd be asking tan to put us bak in gold and green? I don't disagree with you about te colour as I too would have preferred nothing to change but history is full of change and acceptance of it in the early 20's we were predominantly a cricket club which completely changed to focus on football colour change name change and badge change, the then owners did this to move the club forward and this is happening again nearly 100 years on, it's no different to back 100 years ago and I'd imagine the supporters back then were in uproar too it's only natural as many people find change hard to deal with I don't like it but willing to accept the fact that changes to financial rules and a club wracked with historical debt needs to move forward with the times or be left behind, take arsenal for example a board reluctant to break its wage caps and spend big transfers so they remain self sufficient they will be a club that benefits massively from this prudence in years to come

Fully aware we played in a different colour decades before the professional game . A wage cap is a world away from scrapping club colour and replacing a longstanding club crest with a f*cking beer mat and cheesy slogan . I am embarrassed to be a cardiff fan at the moment . We are a laughing stock of uk football and if a name change ever does come about its the likes of you that will have got us to that position.

Maybe mate but I can't just turn off the way I feel about this matter. I have very passionate views about it and cannot just sweep them under the carpet, this is a football club that has been my number one love for 20 years, it's not just a trip to the cinema as Mr Tan would like to think.

Indeed, even if you are in a tiny minority.
Trust me the hatred for the rebrand is bigger than you think. A load of my mates are against it, some banned so not able to show there disgust in the ground, yet. A load of good Cardiff lads I know are dead against it, proper old school Cardiff City fans who bleed blue.

If our ancestors had the same attitude as the majority of City fans we'd all be speaking German now.

Yes we haven't been great but football is all about revenue, we haven't generated enough to service out spending the whole point of the rebrand is to make us commercially viable, tan has opened the door to a possible commercial windfall for years to come without the extra revenue we cannot increase wages in the prem by more than four percent a year unless revenue streams increase, so the clubs that will continue to be competitive will be the ones with strong financial models, hence my point about arsenal and the fact they will already comply with FairPlay rules which will only get tougher in years down the line, as long as we are financially stable not bothered if we play in red blue or pink and yellow polka dots only a name change will end my association with ccfc!
