I don't think we as a collective of fans can be compared to them. We have had our own conflicts with owners in the past but like it's been stated if we had performed like they did today the condemnation and retribution would be swift. However much I might feel about the way my club is run I wouldn't jeopardise my family's wellbeing by attacking these greedy bastards and doing a stretch.
That's not being coochie coo just realistic
I see your point of view completely. Just look at what happened to Blackpool fans who dared to show some banners at CCS. Thrown out or threatened by the stewards. Totally different regime and you're right, your family comes first.
What amuses me though is some using this as an excuse to call Cardiff fans soft for not doing the same as Blackpool. First of all, mid-table stable will do for now. No threats of relegation and further investment imminent.
there are not many who are happy with the present situation here but like you've said it could be worse. For me the Finances are still a major worry but we're back in blue with a more recognisable badge . I am certain if Cardiff fans had kicked off there wouldn't be the same sympathy and support off other teams fans as there's been for little lovable Blackpool and perhaps that's warranted.
I hope they get rid of the oystens and avoid any serious legal issues with their demonstration. Sadly I don't think that will be the case though.

They can see what the owner of a football club that are a member of the football league is doing. Is ensuring the long term well being of a football club that is a member of the football league within their remit ?
Has what the owner has done illegal or against the football league rules ?
Has the owner passed the fit & proper football league tests ? I guess they will pass FFP.
What motivated a rich person into becoming an owner ? All are in it to make a profit and i guess Oyston has been successful in that.
Are the fans just cry babies that lapped it up on the way up and sulking on the way down. They are still a league above their natural position.
The Football authorities in this country have bent over backwards and closed many eyes to entice rich individuals into the game, so they can have their slice of the gravy train.Their poor management of the national game has caused this and many other issues.
I can see 3-0 to Huddersfield, a points deduction, small fine and even a game behind closed doors.
What Oyston has done is what all club sellers tell prospective buyers, there is money to be made. He is making his money and all of a sudden its wrong !!!
Why did tan buy us ?

Was it that big a protest? With the shit they've had I thought all the stands would be on the pitch. Only seemed like a hundred or so.
Did what it had to do though, game abandoned.
Wayne, far more than we ever did.
