Exactly he might as well give every supporter a red shirt for that kind of money.

I wonder how many more lives this will change and that's not forgetting the other stuff that the club does such as disabled football and community events.

If our owners were clowns like Blackburn's I'd kick up a fuss but considering Tan is bringing a lot to the table which will of course better people's lives then I see no reason too.

The football club represents the community and Tan is supporting it. Without that community then what does the club truly stand for? As I've said before, the club is more than a colour or badge and of course I'd rather us be blue as change takes time to come to terms with but the club is a collective if things you just prioritise and to me, the welfare and livelihoods of those in the community outweigh my personal preference on the clubs brand image.

Well said thats the way i feel too.
good on you Mr T :ayatollah:

Say what you like about the disgusting way he dealt with the rebrand issue this is a fantastic gesture.

Amazing gesture by the man. Still want the blue back but really cannot fault the guy on everything else he has done.

Well done VT. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :old:

A great gesture but whatever Tan does won't change my opinion on my feelings of the rebrand. I don't see why anyone should put the rebrand to one side because of gestures like this. Either you want us back in blue or you don't and you're either willing to fight for our blue or your not. It's a shame because gestures like this shows that Tan can be a good guy. I appreciate all the good he is doing to our club and community. But whatever good Tan does will never change me from wanting us back in blue.


Same here

Well done Mr Tan a generous gesture to the people.

As to the doubtors if we played in blue you would still find a fault in him.

This is the man with a vision using his buisness brain to take us forward to a better future a new ground (extended soon), new training grounds, a manager who is going be one of the best, a team to be proud of playing in the top league.

We will never lose being BLUE in our hearts and minds,just wish he had come here 40 years ago when we were last close to the top. :ayatollah:

If Tan allowed the blue shirts to go on sale before September, then he wouldn't have to rely on solely the red shirts would he? :roll:

I personally wouldn't because of the badge, but we have lots of fans who will not buy a red shirt, but would happily buy a blue shirt.

Might be mistaken but I'm sure the away shirts have never been released the same time as the home shirts
