No Fight for your future. Your history cannot be changed because its already happened and taken place.
It's been documented and will forever be there.

Only the future can change,only the future can be unknown.

That's not an opinion or something that needs to be backed up with evidence,That just Fact.


Unless you have a time machine of course?


Wrong word, agreed. "Identity" should have been used..

Totally agree with the sentiment though & everyone knows what they meant, it's just that it doesn't suit their agenda, so look to pick holes in it.

Chucks I have and always will consider Cardiff Blue.
Nothing will ever change that,Suspect many others are the same.
And it's great to see clubs from across the football world support our little club.

But just because some fans choose to accept and wear red does not mean they're lesser fans than some who refuse to acknowledge the rebrand. That's what deeply hurts me the most is how fan has turned on fan.
Yeah Tan is the Centre of the issue you cannot ignore that.
But it's not like he did it for the sole purpose of getting us to turn on each other(Well I hope he never).
I believe his intentions were for the greater good but he went about implementing them completely the wrong way.
I know there is this whole "Against Modern Football" campaign and many posters on this forum agree with its philosophy,but they're also singing and dancing about reaching the Premier League which is the height of Modern Football.

i don't know why you are aiming this at me. I disagree with people wearing red, especially grown men, but they can do what they want.

I'm not against modern football, never have been. I'm just against a pointless rebrand, which could set a dangerous precedent.

Divide and conquer. Put friend against friend. Create an image of something worse to force the decision through.

Tan has followed all the political rules and played a blinder, unfortunately.

You can ensure you have a future, and we have well and truly done that,, lot's of us are glad we actually got a future and that we still have a club to support, whatever colour they play in.:malky:


A football club loses or changes its history by changing its colour and the main emblem on the badge - the two things which determines the identity of every football club imo.

We would have still had a future playing in blue, although we would have struggled. But I am one of those fans who would rather watch us struggle in blue as the Bluebirds than succeed in red as the Malaysian dragons. If I wanted to watch a successful team in red, I would be a Man Utd fan.

I would never give up supporting my local club, but what is the point of seeing your club succeed and win trophies if you don't feel part of your club anymore? Our promotion certainly didn't feel as special to me as it should have. The rebrand has made me feel detached from my club whereas before the rebrand when we were playing in blue as the Bluebirds, I really felt part of our club, my local club that I used to be proud of.
