I'am all for a protest to return to blue, but who was worst for the club overall ridsdale or tan?

Who was worse Hitler or Stalin ? :thumbup:


But if you supported when hitler was in charge, you could live through stalin. People stuck by the club when the club was shit and chairman was ripping us off right left and centre. Having private helicopters to game, £300 fish tanks etc. but as soon the shirt changes to red they f**k off. You can't tell me these people haven't lived through worst supporting the bluebirds.


This is worse.

Ian has a supporter watching us run out in red I would agree. But to turn your back on the club over a colour after all we have been thought seem mad to me. I would rather wear blue every game and show him face to face that we are blue. If you walk away he has won in my eyes. Something I don't want to happen.

Yeah good of you to lead by example and buy another season ticket, that will show him!

Show a little respect to the people who have not rolled over and have actually done something rather than complaining behind a keyboard all day. Speak for yourself in future not everyone else.

So you have either rolled over or walked !! Which one ? The fact that i am keeping the Blue alive at games is wrong then is it ? Utter bollocks. Show respect !! To whom ?


So anyone who wears blue to games HASN'T rolled over? Interesting I wear blue without failure but accept that we need VT. When I argue why I get called a 'sell out' (which I am completely comfortable with by the way)

This is the trouble with the pro-blue section you make the rules up as you go along to cover yourselves. The truth is the only real rebrand Martyrs are the TLG's & Bakedalaska who have given up their ST in protest.

Personally I am willing to wait until VT has stabilised the club before seeking a return of the blue kit. That's what we all should be doing especially if we have the clubs best interests at heart rather than our own selfish preferences.

I would agree that from a personal point of view I would never give my season ticket up and think doing so is bonkers.

However, I actually admire the 'few' who have had the guts to do so. It was a very brave decision and shows to me that it was done on principle rather than being part of a rabble who slag off everyone else for rolling over when they are just as guilty.

My position has always been I have a preference for blue but accept red because it is for the best interest of the club to have VT's input ATM.

Therefore I wear blue as a passive protest in the knowledge that one day it will return.

Very sensible post as always, hence why his posts don't go unnoticed.

We lost our whole identity but there was no up in arms there was not even a boycott of the Red but a total acceptance and embracement of the new kit. But there is now "a see the club is listening and consulting with the fans" Bullshit on what colour shorts we will wear !! Black, Red, A different shade of red, white, :o No the Club are playing our fans for fools and we jump straight in.

They can now officially say they consult the fans cant they :roll: :roll: :roll:


We haven't lost our identity though... All we've lost is the fact that our home kit has changed from blue to red. We're still known as Cardiff City FC. It's the same club, just a different colour and honestly who could care about a poxy colour?

As for the comparison between us and Everton, you might not realise but Everton actually have a different owner and chairman to us :shock: Just because it works in one club, doesn't mean it would work at Cardiff.

Everton haven't backtracked. The badge will stay the same next season. All Everton said is the fans will be consulted next season. our club said the same to us, but f**k all came of it. Lets wait to see what happens with Everton.

I want this action to split the club and create protests in front of the world I believe this might be one of the only ways to get the club back on track and get the fans to properly support the club again

An argument I see logic with.

However just how far does this go. You might get to that point of stabilisation where you have passed the point of no return. I honestly felt that on Blue Tuesday which made my mind up. As supporters I felt we had passed over that line and a many mile more.

You know the saying Tony careful what you wish for.

I'm not trying to make it bad for the club but if we can get noticed by the wider world then the fans might get a say in the matter in the future. I mean all that is well for the club and I hope we can get through this.

What I don't understand is. Why is it a brave decision to walk away when your club is under a serious attack? If yor are are under attack there is more reason to pull together and fight. Not just turn your back and be gone with it.
