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.

Once again u have taken what I said out of context, I was talking about arsenals wage cap not a wage cap coming into British football, and yes the crest is atrocious I agree with you on that, I wouldn't say we are the laughing stock either and blaming 'people like me' who are you to judge me? Have I said I agree with a name change? No merely pointing out to you the 'traditionalist' that we have been rebranded before that was my only point, I will not attend matches myself if our current name goes that will be the final straw for me but as for te colour and the crest I can live with it for premier league football, it's what I have dreamed of for years supporting city and some will say sell out but if I go the club will only replace me with Mancs and Liverpool fans, so why shouldn't a loyal supporter like me enjoy watching premiership football I've waited long enough, I will continue to support Cardiff city FC until such a day it is no liner Cardiff city FC! Red blue pink n yellow polka dots if needs be!

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.

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!

Nothing to do with colour or the blue brand you f*cking clown, we've just been shit at football


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!


That's fair enough mate and you are entitled to your views, I apologise for the language, no need for it. I don't personally agree and if that is way football is going then I am out.

It's just the odd minority stopping us moving forward! Get a reality check! Untill the mad idea of tan changing our name, then that's a different matter!

The new breed like this one really don't understand

So is the op saying that you are a dinosaur if you would prefer to play in Blue and keep the Bluebird.?
Because I am convinced that given the choice that a least 95% of our fans would want to play in Blue. IMO the whole rebrand has been badly handled and if there had been consultation with the supporters groups the whole sorry mess and the divisions it has caused could have been avoided. We could have had a compromise with a fusion of red and blue and Wales and Malaysia which I think would have been acceptable to the majority of fans. Because I don't care how much money you spend you cant just ride roughshod over years of tradition and fans felings While I appreciate what VT has put into the Club don't tell me we wouldn't be in exactly the same position in the league if we played in Blue? Against Brighton the stadium looked terrible and it didn't feel like the City I love.
I love the City too much to walk away and was at Middlesbrough today so dont call me a dinosaur for wanting to preserve our identity but maybe I sm one of the 25% that Tan is not concerned about and the 40 plus years I have supported the Club doesn't matter? ???
