We don't have our proper badge back, it doesn't bother me too much and I will always attend, but I completely understand fans staying away because they don't feel Tan has completely reversed the rebrand.

We had more fans attending games when we played in red. Just goes to show people were using the rebrand as an excuse not to go to games because really they don't want to go anyway. Watching us play in that massive stadium to a pitiful crowd is just embarrassing. We all heard people say they would rather be blue in league two, well I shudder to think what are crowds would be like down there.

All those that I remember saying that including myself are still here Chief. But now let's turn this around and say where are the red glory hunting Premiership fans to ?

The red glory hunting fans are plastics and never pretended not to be, we all knew they'd f**k off after we got relegated. I am on about those that boycotted "due to the rebrand" when in fact they are just like the glory hunters in the premier league, they never gave a toss anyway.
"I'd rather be blue in league two" was a cheap line considering the majority don't bother turning up when we are blue in the championship.

Get over it you precious tw*t.
In the grand scheme of things the badge is a small sacrifice to make. Our badge has changed multiple times in the last 30 years.

This is quote from you where you say thousands of people are staying away due to the rebrand, we are back in blue now. Where are the missing thousands?Bakedalasker wrote:The only thing needs changing are the shirts and they would have to be changed anyway come the new season.
I would say its in the thousand how many we have lost.
Our high attendances are down to our league position nothing to do with red. Well actually if we were blue our attendances would be higher. I mean no one is going to leave if we suddenly turn to blue overnight are they?
Here you admit that it's down to league positions, which is what I have been getting at all along. Oh and we have lost fans since we changed to blue, our two lowest ever league attendances in the CCS have happened this season... in blue. That's despite having lost "thousands" of fans due to the rebrand. You hit the nail on the head in this post, "attendances are down to our league position nothing to do with red". Same applies today.
I could get more quotes from you and others to reaffirm my believe that the general consensus (including mine) was that turning back to blue would increase crowds as the thousands of supposed boycotters would return. This has turned out to be bullshit.

I know for a fact quite a few have renewed....some have retracted their threat of not renewing as well. As I have said and have tried to explain to you the return to blue has prevented a total collapse. That is all it has done.Bakedalasker wrote: I certainly believe the rebrand has lost us die hard fans and that number is in the thousand, perhaps thousand with an s on the end.

And if you read other posts you will find that those who turned away at the start now have founds other things to to. Under the circumstances this is no surprise as Tans stubbornest of 3 seasons has cost the club a lot of die hard support.Bakedalasker wrote:The only thing needs changing are the shirts and they would have to be changed anyway come the new season.

Go on then find those quotes where I have said that.
Game, set and match old man.
And you Dicey do the same.

You make an interesting point but I'm pretty damn sure those who banged on and on about the rebrand for the past 3 years like myself are the ones who are still in the stadium every week supporting the team.
The only clown I've seen on here is Blazing Saddles, he's shown his true colours this year. "Blue through and through" and now only turns up on this forum whenever we lose because he wants to let everyone know why he hasn't got a season ticket this year and to have a pop at Russell Slade. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

In his defence Blazing Saddles is an absolute pr1ck
