We don't have to move on, we try and get the new fans and youngsters to wear BLUE and then when new owners come in, we can persuade them to to change back, as long as no personal abuse at Tan etc, then I am all for this :thumbup:
If people wear red it's their choice, but it would be great if we were all BLUE our true identity.

I'm sure you will keep going for a few more weeks but all you are doing is fuelling the media for split fans etc. if you don't like red fair enough, but move on now as it won't change a thing unfortunately. Not while mr tan is here.


I would put a fair amount on the majority being in blue come the man city game though . Unless vt opts for another mass give away that is .

No one hired a band son. We played for free because we love Cardiff City Bluebirds and we respect 100 years of history.
Yes there were 200 + at the meeting on Thursday but there were 1500 + at Cheltenham with 95% in blue.
Seems when Tan talks about the 5% he should see it's the reds who are the real 5%.

Your forgetting the neutrals who don't wear colours for fear of intimidation, sad that hey considering we all follow the same team and I'm not your son so forget the patronising attempt to appear wiser. On our first home game you show me your percentage then..... You need to show your colours at these small away friendliest as when it really matters blue will be sadly be swallowed by red amongst 27',000. I still want blue like you, but what I want more is a media focused on positive attention for the new season without being given a chance to print 'fans divided crap'. Do what's best for the players and the club as opposed to selfish thought and actions

Facts,just got back from Cheltenham,I would say a lot more blue than red,IMO Iwould say 10% red 25% blue,but as usual the rest casual who are there to support Cardiff City and not get involved with this blue/red shit.As an aside I hope we sign some of these potential signings because at the moment this team is going to struggle big time.

I was wearing neutral colour's today and it weren't due to feeling intimidated, come West ham I will be wearing Blue. Regardless how much people want to put it down there were 1500+ today and the majority were wearing blue and singing blue songs along with all other City songs, it's refreshing how many City fans actually want to stand up for our traditional identity, long may it continue ! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Hope all went well Roddy, absolutely gutted to have missed you play.
The Oppressed are without doubt my all time favorite band but even more impressive is what you've always stood for.
Oi! Oi!.

Cracking turnout today, vast majority blue, but, and this to me is important, nobody gave a shit about those in the red, all were city fans to me. My daughter and step daughter wore blue, as for me I don't wear colours to football anyway.

I was there today and the majority were in casual attire as normal.
However when it came to shirts, it was 90% blue. Fair few kids and a handful of adults in red.

I wore an old purple replica t-shirt. :lol:

Good turn out , full stand behind the goal and half of the stand down the side, 1400-1500 I'd guess.

listen i was one of the City fans there today and i can tell you this:

This love of our Blue will last forever so if you don't like the way we are determined to keep it alive then TOUGH. We aint gonna stop and if you had bothered to be there today you would have seen an away end that was a Sea Of Blue.We don't want the red, we want our blue instead.

I went with my 4 grandson all wearing the new RED top I had a blue city sweat shirt, but to be thought off as an anti red is wrong in my case,because I aint going to throw it away,and I will keep wearing my old blue tops until I wear them out, or frame or archive them. (put them in the attic) I do not like the rebrand, or Sam coming back but I LOVE this club and to quote Malcom X the club I want to survive is "by all means necessary"

I wonder if these post and the alleged split amongst the fans have had any influence on the rejections in the transfer market :? :? :?
