Steve Borley's amazing journey with CCFC

Steve Borley says: “It’s crucial we all stick together, fans, directors, staff, players and everybody who loves our club."

Yeah right, by mocking supporters who don't agree with changing colours & crest, destroying the identity of our football club?
By supporting a man, whose actions cause a huge divide amongst our supporters?
By supporting an unnecessary rebrand that drove people out? People who're Cardiff City to the core, people who would give almost all for their beloved club?!?!

I once had a lot of respect for you, Mr. Borley...

give it a rest.

not until our club has its rightful colours and crest back

And which of the last six we have had in recent years is the rightful one?
And while we are at it, why not push for a move back to Ninian Park.

I hope Steve makes a fortune from CCFC. Not many of us used our kids future inheritance to pay bills to keep this club afloat when most of you ungrateful ***** werent about.

Steve is more CCFC than most of you put together.

The same people ruin another thread under the guise of freedom of speech.

Not many of us gave our lives to preserve Free speech but our relatives did you ungrateful sod.

Off the top of my head, Dave Sugarman is 10x more CCFC than Steve.

Why do you use this account, is it to troll. why not post this under your real account.

This is my real account, you're derailing the thread with standard MB fayre now.

You messed up the other day. Ive no interest in outing who you really are, im not bothered.

Trolls have won again but I will put the original thread else where

leaving Ninian was necessary, as much as we all love that place. The rebrand wasnt...

crest: the rightful crest is where the Bluebird is the main feature. I know we had altered the crest every few years, that's not the point.

Another great subject ruined. Shame

A real journey for Steve that seen many bad times, I was down the stadium last week and he was there with the builders, sleeves rolled up, helping out with extra seating around the stadium.

How is it ruined? Are City fans still allowed an opinion on the club hierachy corky?

I will tell you why its ruined...it is because this topic was not about the rebrand.

Gavin, don't delete the opinion, simply move it to another thread that is about the re brand.

Better to l;eave it on here, because posts like this rather than help the anti rebrand cause in my opinion only helps to drive those sitting on the fence firmly into the "for f**k sake move on category, because you are like a broken record"
A dagger thru my heart, the club has been raped, lost our history, what about tradition, I have no feeling for the club now they have a different colour.

We are in the best position we have been in ever!!!! we are still Cardiff City, we still play in Cardiff, we are still nicknamed the Bluebirds, we still have a Bluebird on our badge.
What we have done is changed the colour of our shirt, and not for the first time.

True fans will be proud they made a sacrifice to save the club, others will feel disappointed the club still exists and would rather have seen it closed but closed in blue.
Kept the history, kept the tradition, but ended the club, for f**k sake.

changing colours and crest was unnecessary, and had nothing to do with survival or not... we have discussed this more than often. If you still believe it was red or dead, your opinion, not mine.

I've read and re-read this post and I don't particularly want to fall out with the poster but this is a complete crock of shit.The only huge divide as you put it is on this forum which represents a storm in a teacup.

unf. not mate. I'd say over 70% of my Cardiff friends are completely against the rebrand. And that's realy life friends, not on here or on Facebook...

If you think my post my post in a crock of shit, fairplay its your opinion. You're entitled to have yours, just as I have mine.

You must have a select bunch of friends then, because you go to a home game and you would not know anything was wrong. For all its faults scarf gate showed how many people really weren't that bothered by the rebrand, the internet is nowhere near a true reflection of how things are in real world.

Most of us would prefer blue no doubt, but have accepted change and stability at the price we had to pay, those who would have risked the club's existence for the sake of a colour are in the small minority and that is the truth.

So which one of the last six do you consider the rightful one, and it will only be rightful in your opinion, lot's of us have our favourites over recent years, but it makes no difference.

You boycotted/are boycotting, stop ramming it down our throats, I don't take your opinion seriously anymore, as much as I like Schalke, go support them and go on a Schalke forum, I know it says all fans welcome but wow you constantly remind us about your stance about the re-brand, we understand

I do boycott, you're right there. But that's my personal decision, that doesnt mean I am not a Cardiff fan anymore. I still love the City... that's why I cant let it go and I cant move on.

But that's not the point here... my post was that Borley made a stupid remark, imo.

Trolls have won again but I will put the original thread else where

That's not clever Corky accusing the likes of Hofmestier being a troll. He has been consistent with his feelings over this.

Lets be honest now what did you expect from this thread, everyone to glorify Borley? Like it or not Steve has not done himself any favours over the rebrand with his comments decrementing the blue stand. If the article was on Bellamy then there would have not been such a divertion. Borley has put himself in the firing line so expect such a reaction.

i agree corky this thread was not about the rebrand,but it is about ccfc and the rebrand is a major issue
which sb has comment on alot on twitter,so if a thread is put about him you have to accept there are people who
are pissed off with his stance on it.
you cannot put up his good points and not expect people to point out his flaws,this is a discussion board

How was it hijacked? Because you disagree with someone doesn't make them a troll. If it was meant as a shrine to Borley ban all contributors, but then what's the point of having a forum like that.

There are a lot of things I allow to go on that are against my opinion.

And i repeat there as been a few of them, i got two different ones tattooed on myself where the bluebird is the main feature, must be before you cam aboard.I would suggest you look back on recent records.

all the previous ones, with the Bluebird as the main feature. I cant make it any clearer, no matter if it was the last one or Sam's St.David's or the circle...all fine as long as the Bluebird is the centre of it

Sour kraut

Ian, a troll in my opinion is someone who changes the original thread or topic into something else...Steve has done huge work keeping this club alive and it would not have hurt to have a nice thread about that, even if you wan to drag his name through the mud in another thread because he does not support your opinion and he also knows how close this club was to folding.
Simply start your own threads if you want to attack Steve or talk about the re brand, that is all I am saying.

"mocking supporters who don't agree with changing colours & crest, destroying the identity of our football club? "

Those are the words you used,and you refer to changing the crest, so it's not change you mind, it's size then?
So you don't mind change. as long as it stays big.

Your correct there, becaus eif the club had gone to the wall, those that brought it about would be in hiding from the shame of bringing and end to our famous well loved club, and all over a colour.
