well why the hell did tan put them in then? other than spite there is no reason for it. 5000 seats, it couldn't cost more than £20-30 per seat to change with that volume, that would be £100-150k. less than 1/3 of the legal fees to pursue mackay.


Malky is completely separate and if malky is guilty tan is doing the right thing.

I would rather tan put the 150k into wages or transfer than change the colour. You can't see red seats if they are occupied

the point about malky is that tan is profligate when it suits him. £150k is peanuts in this day and age and you know it. still can't believe i'm on a cardiff forum with fans saying they want to keep the red seats :o

I don't mind the red seats - when I was a boy we had a decent red away strip, and as another poster has mentioned the CCS has become our national side's home stadium, so another reason to keep them.

My personal top away kit was white tops, blue shorts, no yellow anywhere, but I'd take a red away kit over black or yellow everyday of the week - assuming we played in blue at home of course!!

Anyhow CTID - :bluescarf:

If the team are wearing blue, the would anyone really be angry if the red seats stayed red for a season or two? :lol:

chuckle, what would be the reasoning behind leaving the seats for a season or two? as shown it would a couple of hundred thousand at most.

what would change in a season or two to make it viable then as opposed to now? nothing.

150k isnt peanuts! it is for premiership teams and championship teams going for promotion, but ipswichs whole squad was less that 100k!

Owners arent spending these days wihin the championship give or take the odd exception

its expected that you'll read some rubbish if you're on a forum, but congratulations, that is right up there with the funniest i have read on this site. you utter nincompoop :ayatollah:


It's a factual statement.


a bit like saying, i lost my foot to gangrene, but to remind me of where i come from, i'll sew it back onto my leg because its part of my history.


Why would gangrene be one of If not your biggest achievements in your life :? I don't think your example makes any sense in what we are discussing.

Ideally new blue seats would be lovely but I think going in asking for that is just a pure piss take. I can live with red seats over a lot of other stuff.


well why is selling out your history and tradition a big achievement and something worth remembering?

you didnt just say you can live with red seats, you said:

'Keep them…. Like it or not red has played a big part in our most successful period.'

how is it a piss take by the way to want to rip out those red seats? they shouldn't have been there in the first place, its like a tumour on the CCS.


To be honest I’m not sure where you’re going with this...

Do I like the red seats? no
Would I like them replaced with Blue seats? yes
Is it something I think should be brought up at the meeting? God no
Is it a priority? no
Do I think it would be very silly to start to make all these kind of demands? yes, very.

People are going on like we have backed Tan into a corner and we can do what we like, make as many demands as we want. I don’t see it like that at all, infact quite the opposite, he still holds ALL the cards, it seems he has offered us a slight olive branch and we should hope it’s a return to blue. For me it’s no compromise with the colour of the kit, its blue. Would I compromise with the badge, Yes begrudgingly. I don’t think going on about the seats at this point is any kind of compromise it’s just wanting it all our own way.

Minor issue, stable club in traditional colours has to be the priority.

but the cost is very small?

i know what you're getting at but i still disagree. even at championship level £150k is peanuts. its half a signing on fee of a john brayford. a months wages for kenwyne jones.

if it was millions, i'd agree with you, but it isn't. the club have the money so why not do it now? what is to be gained from waiting for an arbitrary period of time to pass?

tan can go fornicate himself if he starts quibbling. he knew full well there was no need to make the seats red, it was purely a political gesture, sticking two fingers up at the anti rebrand fans.

If tan was going to change club totally red (wasnt that the plan) it made sense to do it! Who are you to say it was political? Unless of course tan told you he was sticking 2 fingers up At fans? :thumbup:
