Excuse me, am I being a bit thick here ? you're pro blue, and you want to line tan's coffers by buying from his shop ? Why strengthen his position ? I think we should picket the place. And yes I would volunteer

if it encourages the push back to blue then why not?

It's a step in the right direction, we haven't had one of those for a while.... I've always thought our marketing people are useless and if they have reacted to what people have told them, then credit for that.

I think Tan will change us back to blue for financial reasons.

If he did, would you forgive him?

The picture of the shop is quite amazing when you think about it. For club whose home colours are now red and whose owner has made it quite clear he is not in favour of blue or the bluebird this in my opinion is a massive shift.

I also noticed that the club shop at the stadium had blue retro shirts in the main window. The decision to put the blue so prominatley in the shop would not have been done on whim.

So what is the club up to? Tan must have sanctioned the move, I mean who would brave enough to put blue at the forefront without his permission?

I dont want to get my hopes up but this is a positive step.

Tan could really galvanize the club if he returned to blue and it would give everyone a massive lift and could have a real impact on the team.

If Tan announced that we were going back to blue next season could you imagine the reaction in the stands?

Could you imagine how that buzz in the stands would lift the players?

We would stay up just because of the fans reuniting and backing the team.

It would be aamazing.

I wouldn't get hopes up, would be incredible if he changed his mind about the colour but I just think the shops are trying to make money if anything.

Re: ' CARDIFF CITY FINALLY STARTING TO SEE SENSE '

Purely speculating but could OGS have influenced any decision should we revert?,is there any possibility he only took the job if we went back to blue maybe wanting a United fan base(excuse the pun).

My wish list
1.Return to blue
2.Prominent Bluebird and no dragon
3.Tan and Lim gone

Then I will be happy

The new range is called their 'retro' range! I went their last week and got a blue and white scarf with bluebirds on. They also have a selection of bluebird pin badges and lots of other blue stuff, like they used to do, clearly they realised they need to start making money again. Glad to see all the red punted to the back of the shop!

Also - I noticed Ali has started saying 'y Gleision' (the blues) when announcing the teams, don't know whether he's doing it on purpose or if he's just getting his welsh language sayings mixed up now that he also works at The Arms Park!

If I were a businessman who's main priorities were profit, I would put whatever it takes to attract buyers in my shop window. If placing blue shirts in your shop window brings in more punters than having red on display, then blue it is. I don't think this would have much bearing right now on the colour that the team will wear. However, if season ticket sales were absolutely dreadful, and I thought that changing back to blue would guarantee full houses for most matches, then I would consider changing back to blue. I think a lot will depend on season ticket sales, as money is Tan's main driver, and as long as supporters are keeping him with a steady and sufficient income stream, I can't see him backing down any time soon. I just hope that he can see that red may not be as lucky as he believed it to be.

As much as the retro design shirts are nice and i would rather one of those opposed to anything with the new badge does it make us look a bit nesbit like. See what tan is doing he is trying to make us the second most scruffiest fans in the land after Swansea of course. Also takes the heat off him with his high waisted trousers
