"I don’t like bullying."


If Tan was the school bully he'd be the one that buys you your school dinner every day including dessert, your learning resources and helps you cheat in exams whilst making you wear a red school uniform. You may get laughed at by others but in the long run it'll only be you laughing as you prosper from his aid.

I find the notion that blue is our identity insulting. Our identity is Cardiff City FC. That's what I support, not a colour, not a slogan, not a certain manager, not a certain player, not the catering staff, not the logo, BUT CARDIFF CITY FC.

bonkers analergy as usual. If colour isn't your thing, do you censor yourself from singing about blue in songs?

Or don't you go to games? :laughing6:

I'll sing about Cardiff City FC no problem. If our nickname is the bluebirds I'll sing about bluebirds. If our nickname was dragons I would call us dragons. Im not one for living in the past. If thats your thing then maybe you should be supporting that club based in Merseyside.

As long as my car is running I really couldn't give a crap what colour it is. It'd still be the same car on the inside. But yeah, bonkers analogy I suppose because it doesn't conform to your retarded self egotistical logic.

Yeah I go to games. Give me your name via PM or add me on Twitter and I'll quite happily prove it to you once I know who I am talking too (not a troll) as i have done before. If you want a serious discussion then you know this is possible, I have given you the choice.

Sorry for not conforming to your scientology type beliefs of how things should be. I mean, Vincent Tan's rebrand based on brand theory suited to an Asian audience based on previous findings is ludicrous when you compare it to your foolproof unbiased and logical conclusions drawn from nothing but history.

I bet the marketing departments of the world all wish they had Cardiff City fans as employees. I really feel Apple and Nike are missing a trick with this one. After all, the aim of a business isn't succeed is it? Its just to make sure its the right colour. The club is much much much more than a colour to me. Shocking that some dont feel the same way.

I don't think it's relevant to compere ccfc to a car, you change cars you don't change clubs.


The merseyside quip dosnt hold water either. Arsenal, would they play in blue? Villa, would they play in blue? Man utd, would they change home colours? Celtic? It's not really confined to one area or unusual that almost every football club in britain sticks with the colours they're used to. It's part of your identity.

You just named all clubs with far more history and identity than us. They have so much more to lose than us so its quite obvious they are going to fight more. Compare us to the likes of West Brom and so forth and they'd probably have accepted the rebrand too, no matter how much they claim they wouldn't.

barnet you are way off the mark with w.b.a kid.they are a proud set of fans.it wouldn,t happened at the baggies as the clubs leaders have respect for their fans.they gave season ticket holders 50quid back last season.every club has history.it doesn,t have to be successful.it could be from the roots of the club.maybe it was started by working class folk like miners and foundry workers?a lot of people who have never done these type of jobs still love the history of how their club was formed and the colours it chose.i doubt you,d get many baggies fans choosing to ditch the tesco bag look.they are a great set of fans.they are also well run so they wouldn,t have to rebrand on the whim of a foriegn investor who thinks the blue and white stripe kit is unlucky.there again i doubt a rebranding of blues would go down well either

I am sure someone is going to make a lot of money from this hence why I am sceptical. Also buying loads of blue Cardiff City shirts from the club won't bother Tan. He doesn't care what we wear, he wouldn't sell the blue kit if he did.

This is understandable.

BU have decided to only promote sellers of blue merchandise who donate to the cause. How those donations are used is down to the organisers. If you trust them then great if not then don't buy. Its about all you can do if you want to follow BU.

I didn't know that but in other words the sellers are paying BU for advertisement.

I don't look at it that way.

The sellers are producing merchandise for the BU cause. Merchandise that people want to be associated with Cardiff City i.e blue.

Are they selling the merchandise for what the pay for it or cashing in on the emotions and anti Tan feeling among vulnerable pro blues?

Well I cant imagine any business doing that can you?

Re: " BU- A group worthy of your support "

Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:26 pm

Ah you called it a business. Many people have been saying it is not a business but a group looking to spread the blue and make Tan sell up. Businesses make money.

Hope you can appreciate why many bluebirds are apprehensive when it comes to whether or not they should support BU.

Re: " BU- A group worthy of your support "

Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:27 pm

I will be doing what suits me and that is getting down the stadium and supporting the team. :ayatollah:

Well that's just bollocks if that is what some are saying.

BU do not want Tan to sell up.

BU have approached a supplier to produce their merchandise. The supplier will donate to BU upon a sale of an article. The donation will go to supporting a BU event such as handing out free blue scarves.
