40 attended tonights meeting and it was positive

Great to see that there is a section of our support going about protesting against the re-brand in a positive, peaceful and constructive manner. I am keen to hear more about this and would like to pledge my support. I would love to see Cardiff City playing in the Premier League in blue. Yeah, it's probably not going to happen but where is the harm in standing up for what you believe in?

This is a good shout.

I know a few that went there and I'm confident it is something that can be built on. We need something like this and it is what has been missing this season, something for the pro blue to turn to.

There are thousands of discontented Bluebirds out there regarding the rebrand,I'm sure the numbers will swell in future meeting,good luck

As long as the ideas behind this group stay as peaceful ones and do not look to distrupt the team then I will support the aims to return to blue, this is different to the KCB from what I can gather and that is a good thing.

It would be good to have a report/post on what was discussed and plans going forward.

Totally agree.

An good to see its not about this new club nonsense.

I will make an effort to be at the next meeting. How about changing the venue/area every meeting so that people from different areas will have a chance to make it? just a thought.

The colour of our shirt doesn't really bother me but our survival does . I respect everyone's views providing they have respect for others . Good luck guys , hopefully we will see a united fan base soon.

40?

that went well, good luck

There are thousands of blue bluebirds out there grudgingly still going , blue Red Orange Green shirts don`t matter because they love Cardiff City

the Red Dragon Fans have suprised us all, they won`t be forgotton

Easy for Ben to mock when you are a 14 year old plastic (i want to see man u play at any cost) key board warrior in red

Good luck to you and keep us informed.

I'm one who is willing to accept the rebrand if it means our club can survive and prosper, but really would prefer to have our club succeed with the Bluebird and a blue kit at its core. I would not even consider a name change as a possibility.

However if you lads are prepared to get off your asses and do something -and most importantly if it does not harm the club - then you at least have my respect. Its so annoying seeing so many people whinging on message boards then expecting someone else to do their work.

KCB wanted to do things which harmed the club so turned me off supporting them - and thousands of others.

I hope you can be a bit more cool headed.

I honestly believe a more measured and respectful approach backed by large numbers of fans (perhaps get a tream of volunteers to go right around the CCS in a game getting signatures from as many as possible there, by seat no and fan no.) would have a much better impression and chance of success. Importantly though, you need to show him a business case - which could involve getting potential sponsors on your side. If (ans this is only an example) 1000 local businesses would back the club for £1000 to play in blue then that might show him that there is some commercial benefit to it. Maybe a larger company to sponsor the Bluebird ? Just an idea.

Cheers Bowman.

I want my Cardiff City back. Playing in blue at home with our Bluebird badge on the shirt.
Well done lads for attending this meeting.
You have my support.

Exactly!!

keep it peacefull and im sure the support and backing will snowball showing how the majority of Bluebirds fans are hurting and only reluctantly accepting the rebrand not embracing it as we just feel held to ransom over possibly loosing our club if we dont accept it .

No Anti red protest just try and portray how its effecting our fanbase

Well done so far

Personally I say well done to the group, they are harming no one, but in their way fighting to get our identity back, they might be small now, but who knows.

Sad that some will mock this group of supporters for their beliefs and trying to do something about it, without disrupting our team on the pitch.

Spot on.

So called reluctant reds who seem to want to pour scorn and mock others. Dont seem very reluctant.that.

I think what youve started is good and will support you ....how ever making statements like cynical and forced does not do the cause any favours ...it would of only been cynical if there was no advanced warning that he intended to give free red scarfs ...it was not forced but offered no one had to take one ....if you want to gain support imo every statement needs to be fact and true ...slagging tan or reds with untrue emotive statements /comments will not gain us support....try to give as much notice of the next meeting so hopefully more will attend .I will do my best to be at the next meeting ....and continue to support/help in any way ...however if anti tan/reds abuse or slagging off starts up I will be off keep the badge and blue colours of old is all I want

The scarf idea was very cynical. Those scarves weren't given away free out of the goodness of Tan's heart as some have stated. It was a ham fisted and, in my opinion, ill thought out attempt to try and make it look as if the fans want us playing in red.

You can imagine the meeting -

Tan - "How can we get through the next phase of the re brand"?

Lickspittle - "I don't think the fans will accept the change of names sir"

Tan - "Ahh the plebs, we must make it look like they love red, and want red, what if we give them free red scarves"?

Lickspittle - "Great idea sir, and we can make sure they wear them by offering a free season ticket"?

Tan - "Wonderful, we'll make them wear red scarves. If we can make them wear red scarves, we can make them do anything, MWAAHHHAAAHHAAA"!!!!!

The game against Derby proved beyond doubt that this simply isn't the case, we will still turn up at games but he cannot make us like the red or that abysmal badge. There was more blue on display at the game on Tuesday than I've seen at a City game in quite a while, and that cheered me up no end, warmed the cockles of my heart it did.

BLUEBIRDS

Well done lads. I will give my support and attend the next one hopefully.Glad to see the wheels coming off Tans red dream and the numbers who wore blue against Derby was encouraging.Surely but slowly the tide is turning.

Many interesting posts regarding our meeting held on Wednesday. Here are a few points: -

The group decided to call themselves "Blue For Life" with the chief aim of restoring & maintaining the clubs identity (be that the colour blue, the crest, bluebird and name)

For a meeting that wasn't well publicised, 40 is a great number for a midweek meeting held the night after a game; some of the people present came from all over South Wales.

It was a PEACEFUL meeting, which was very constructive. Many praised how the evening went and how constructive the group was.

The group was to disassociate themselves from AFC Cardiff or KCB. It was made very clear that nobody present wanted to disrupt games/non peaceful protests (especially at such a crunch time of the season!)

Many in the group held slightly differing opinions; some were boycotting, some still attend - everyone's views were and & RESPECTED.

A lot more people have expressed an interest in coming along to the next meeting. Many apologised for their absence & others were originally put off by the events at previous supporters meetings; now that they have seen that this one went "peacefully" - they would like to attend.

Above all; everyone's views were respected.

Very easy to mock on here. But in fairness at least they are doing something instead of rolling over and excepting it. And not just reluctantly accepting it Actively supporting it by picking up a red scarf and proudly wearing it is much more shamefull than being at the meeting last night.,

Shameful - Not when you are fully behind VT and his plans for the club

.good luck lads

Rome wasnt built in a day. Well done to all.
I was glad to see lots of blue last night. What we need is a big blue flag in the ninian stand with our old badge on so that tan will see it directly.

good good idea that is

reading these posts you have my full support keep it going keep it peaceful and more will support this .

It would be good to agree on any way to get are blue back in the stands I wear blue every game sent blue balloons off if we all do something and maybe chip in for a big flag or something the massage to tan will be loud and clear .

I would chip in and a collection outside the ground or something would make me happy.

Its good to see a group doing something like I say they have my support .

Let us all no where the meetings are and when.

please post details of meetings - i dont accept the rebrand but Mr Tan dont give a f**k if i dont and thats a reflection on him not me. Hate red, hate the rebrand but still hanging in there

Keep it up I,m 100% behind you Were cardiff city we,'ll always be blue
