And just to re-iterate before anybody gets excited. Me saying its a good post doesn't mean i agree, just that he has put forward HIS reasoning well and is showing why someone may wish to accept the red.

There will be more and more examples like this the longer it goes on it is slowly becoming engrained in the club. People who have only been watching 2 or 3 years only know red. Another few years of red and a large % of your fanbase will have only known red, a return to blue would be another re-brand in itself as a result.

This is something you had to nip in the bud. You had chance upon chance upon chance to do it but nobody seemed bothered and instead held uo a blue scarf for 60 seconds when it looked certain you were to be relegated.

Im not sure how many fans actually do want blue back, if they do then they sure as hell cant be arsed to do anything about it.

In a way you are right Chief. But what isnt right he is making money out of the club though the re brand of which most fans find abhorrent. Now CCFC is a Club Borley claims to love but the old saying "sold your soul" is definitely applicable to good old Stevo.

Priceless. :lol:

Shouldnt venom over rebrand be aimed at those who accepted VT's offer not VT himself??

VT comes along, says he'll do X, Y, Z if club rebrand. Couldn't board have said no?? Couldn't our protests been then forcing club to turn it down??

Truth is the board accepted.

Therefore shouldn't hatred be aimed at others not Tan???

Good original post gav,my little man is nearly 6 he doesn't remember us in blue even tho he had blue tops in the past,I still buy the blue gear but I got the red last yr coz he wants it,he's got the Cardiff city bug and is to young to understand the politics behind the rebrand,even when he's told he's to young to see the problem and when you got young kids your not gna let them turn up and feel alienated cos they like red shirts as well as blue shirts.I think you put your point across very well gav.I can understand ppl wanting blue back as I do but I try not to get into arguments with ppl cos they accept the red.and as roathie says it's becoming engrained into the club like it or not,if this stays for another five yrs say then kids like ours will know red and red only,I personally think a compromise kit half blue half red would at least give us some kind of history back which wouldn't be accepted by all but may be by alot. Something like the USA top

Yes, people like you who turned their back on City when we were shit then come running back when VT is throwing money about

Glory hunting tw*t. You off back to run a pub side now weve been relegated :roll:

Surely as he's a businessman and not a Cardiff City fan, VT would be more upset at empty seats, than seats filled by paying fans, even if they wear blue and wave blue scarves?

Anybody who thinks that fans attending games wearing blue and waving blue scarves at 19.27, is hurting VT more than stay away fans and a reported 10,000 less season ticket sales, are just using this to justify their continued attendance at the games IMO!

It's laughable Chris all this hate tan bullshit. Just don't go to the games as it's the only protest that counts.

Bullshit that sounds something like Mr Boeley would say Hmmmmmm


I agree with Nukes Hmmm

Steve, you went to games last season, but said Tan had virtually ruined your club, true or not?

At least we went in BLUE :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:


And you were also the man along with me who said you would give it one season in the premiership in a conversation with me and then call it a day if identity wasent restored.
It took a while for it to sink in but dave sugarman and TVB were right from day one

But what pisses Tan off more Steve. Those that stay away or turn his stadium blue visually and by sound ? And go back I said Borley :lol: :lol: Now I admire your loyalty to your good mate Steve Borley but tell me honestly how much does Mr Borley make from Cardiff City FC ? Hmmmmm


I can confirm I am a non paid non executive director. I give my time up for free on anything I am tasked to do. My company is no longer a shareholder and I have only retained my personal shares. Any contract work I carry out is done at cost and if you want to do a search on HOS you will see it makes a small profit whilst still owing my company a considerable amount. So the suggestions of me making millions is well wide of the mark. My only reward is an emotional one and I consider that as priceless



Nukes I hardly speak to steve about the football these days and don't have a clue if he makes anything out of the club these days as he sold his shares to tan as he had agreed along with the likes of PMG.
One things for certain before Sam or tan came along he used to put money in every month to keep the club alive and never took a penny out in consultancy fees etc like other chairmen so he will always have my respect for that.
With regards to the demo's I don't see that holding a scarf aloft for twenty seconds once a game is going to have any effect on tan whatsoever but I respect what people are trying to achieve.
There's nothing wrong with being loyal to friends either nukes. I am the same with steve as annis was with Sam in that if I think something is wrong I will say it
Have a good evening

Fair enough Steve so you can't confirm either way that Mr Borley is making massive money out of CCFC now ? And we are talking many millions. Not denying he put money in years ago just now he is making a mint out of us. To him it's worth the red then ? Hmmmmmm

Gav we will return to blue. When tan sells up any owner in his right mind would see he could become an instant idol by giving us our identity back.

I do agree about the tension between fans and it has ruined my last 2/3 seasons but I'm not going to give up on what I want for my club and the majority of fans want too

Do you not see that though, Gav? You are fed up of hearing people going on about the rebrand, but I'm fed up of people saying that I should just get over it etc.

Both "sides" are never going to agree & the name flinging shouldn't happen. I just think that it shows how passionate we ALL are about CCFC, despite having differing views on what should be happening to it.

Thankyou.

I can fully understand your frustration and although I don't agree with everything your saying I do honestly believe the club will be surrounded in bad politics and unrest between fans untill tan leaves. Not to suggest that's best for the club itself immediately I just hope a buyer will come in the next few years to sort this mess out.

it wasnt red or dead at all Tan was already into us for 40m but with glory hunting muppets like Welshpaul it was easy for him.

The same glory hunting muppet who will be back running a shit pub team and wont be giving ccfc a 2nd thought when things ate not going so well on the pitch.

Can't believe people are criticising borley kept this club alive in the dark days and never made a penny if he is making moeny now and I'm not saying he is then good for him he deserves every fuckin cent of it

He has sold his shares that's well documented so my guess is he's making f**k all but like I said if he is then fine by me as well

He probably hates the red like everyone else but puts the good of the club long term before his emotions on the subject of the rebrand

No, but they would have continued with it. Surely even you can work out that people aren't going to stop moaning about red, just because it's a new owner.

They want the club in blue & that will always be the case, no matter who is in charge. :thumbright: :bluescarf:
