We weren't up in the top tier today. We were on the corner of the Leazes stand. Pretty much on ground level, just one flight of steps :ayatollah:


Good stuff :ayatollah:
Can't see a thing from the top lol.
Window scored apparently before, could have been anyone :ayatollah:

That banner just screams negativity.

You won't get blue back like that. If you want to get that message over it would've been much better to have a banner saying 'we'll always be blue' or 'please change our colours back to blue'.

It's just the way it's worded is negative and it assumes that Tan still hasn't done anything to improve Cardiff City. Fact is we'd be down and out by now if he hadn't not involved when he did.

And I'm not a Tan lover just a City Supporter with enough nouse to realise that we will only get our colours back if we go the right way about it. It's not what the banner is saying that's wrong just t he way it's worded.

We'll be on telly in a minute and that just screams negative vibes yet again.


I think you are wrong. Appeasement never works Neville. To most our club is blue and we want it back. Please don't be so condescending with your weak advice.

It is like you have a car but you cannot afford the repairs. It breakdown too often. You asked for help and sold it. Someone came by and repaired the car, resprayed it to another color. Now you complained it is not the original color??
Meanwhile, it car is moving well, do we want to moved it back to workshop to have it resprayed? :?:

It's nothing like that. Your comparison is like comparing someone stealing a grape from Tesco and a stranger stealing your Mrs.

Yes but you already divorced. Just that you are staying in the same neighbourhood. You can complain that she is going out with a jerk but you cannot insist who she go out with. But one day, I am sure she will come back to you. Meanwhile you have to live your life and she too have her own.

I was there today and I've just got back. I didn't notice that banner but it's an effin disgrace.

Typical of some of the kids who support our club and don't understand what damage they could do.

We've a new manager and we're trying to play a better brand of football and stay in the Premier League. That banner makes us look like ungrateful idiots.



A disgrace is people like you rolling over to let Tan do what he wants with our heritage :thumbup:

He's not spending money on the club out of benevolence friend, he'll look for a return on his money like all businessmen do. Doesn't give him the right to f**k with the fundementals of our identity without getting a backlash .... From some at least!

People have tried engaging with Tan and being polite. It gets us nowhere.

No one should stop until we get our clubs colours back. I know I won't.

Either way, it's a free country and if someone can watch Cardiff wearing red, then damned sure someone can wave a banner in defence of our proper colours.


That's a pretty standard kind of comment from the Anti Tan brigade so I suppose you could name lots of individuals who've spoken to Tan personally about our colours. I know I couldn't.


I know Annis has.

I know I have written two polite letters to the club, numerous emails and tweets and never had a reply.

I know the supporters trust and club constantly try to engage with Tan and request a return to blue for the good of the club in the most polite of means.

I know that Bluebirds Unite have constantly asked for meetings to discuss the matter.

Tan has learnt and is learning what many dictators eventually learn; you have to engage, or things will only get worse.

If Tan cares about the club and fans, he would engage with us, explain the reasons for the rebrand, the economic benefits so far and explain things properly.

Of course, no benefits exist and he cannot justify it, and looks down on fans..hence no meetings!
