CARDIFF CITY REBRAND BOOK PREVIEW

From Facebook



Ian Hallam

I have just seen that there is a book out about our infamous rebrand. A number of my Cardiff City friends are saying they have no intention of buying it as it is a part of our history they want to forget. I don't think I would have any problem buying it as I would like to get a feel of how the average Cardiff fan felt then.

I would be surprised if Mr Average felt the same as I did then. From what I saw I would say Mr Average bent forwards in accepting the rebrand. I'm trying to be kind in my words here.


For me and those close to me know, I totally detested the rebrand and want to see the back of Vincant Tan. I will still be shouting Tan Out even if he takes Cardiff onto the champions league winners. Although my dislike for Tan is something I have not experienced since the day 7 lads from my village beat me up because I went to a different school to them, the biggest disappointment for me were the Cardiff fans themselves. I don't think I will ever look at Cardiff fans again in the same light. Give me a fan from the 70s, 80s and 90s any day now.


There are a few things I just could not understand or work out through that rebrand. The new supporters who wore the red I disregard but those who had been going for years like me I just could not work out why they wore the colour. Some said it was because that is what the players wore. I just could not accpet that. Some said they had been waiting 50s years for top flight football so bought into it. Sorry but as far as I am concerned you are not a fan of Cardiff City FC if that is your reason. I could mention a few incidencies but will limit it to just one more. One guy I spoke to was quite happy for Tan to bail the club out but when that was complete would then turn against him. As far as I was concenred that made him as bad as Tan himself.


I was well known for my stand against the rebrand and a few supporters I knew kept their distance from me. I had no problem with that is they could not look me in the eye about what I believed in. I had a few of them try to belittle me. One being known as the Red Leader who as far as I am concenred when Tan goes the club should ban the guy. How the hell he got away with his threatening behavious is beyond me then again the club board did not care. With that in mind I hope they all bugger off whe Tan leaves. The worse case I had though was outside the ground at Wolves away when I got attacked by one of them with his 6 mates in tow. Fortunately he turned out ot be a right poof although he was twice my size.


So summing up for me Mr Cardiff City during the rebrand sold out. That's me using polite words again. The only thing that bugs me now are those who tell me to move on. Those telling me that are the ones who bent forward. You see they tell me Tan has apologised by returing us to blue. Rubbish, he had no choice else there would have been a handful of people watching his image. Everyone is now praising Tan because we got Warnock. Well once again he had no choice because he tried to keep us in the championship on the cheap by selecting Trollope. So Mr Cardiff City average besiodes selling out you are coming over a bit naive as well.It's time like this I really wished we had done a Portsmouth.

Who is Ian Hallam? Another self indulged whopper.

"Well known for my stance on the rebrand" Cringe.

I'm Ian Hallam and yes I am well known for my stance as most know on here with quite a few knowing me personally.

This quote was taken from my Facebook account which I have no problem with. I could elaborate a bit more on who knows me but can't be arsed.

So who the f**k are you? I have my feelings who.

So well known I've never heard of you.

Dave Sugarman, he's well known for his stance, walked away in disgust, never returned.

I'd hazard a guess you didn't walk away, bleated a bit on the Internet, and thinks he's a big noise cos some saddos on a forum know him.

Pull your head out of your own arse you self indulgent whopper.

Well Said Ian and You were 100% against the Rebrand/took 2 years of shit for it,but stood Proud

Thousands of others were against the rebrand Annis they were in the vast majority but they don't need to make out how important they are. Do you and Ian expect some kind of medal or something?

And im Ken Morgan. You've probably never heard of me but then I don't like to brag about how important I am (in my own head) on a messageboard or social media.

Thousands really? Well where were they?

I recall our first game in the premier at Upton Park when some of us starting singing "we will always be blue" only to get shot down by the rest of us.

Vast majority what a load of bullshit.

Some stance that going to games in the Premier League. What a stance.

Bullshit. You have been belittling posters on here all night. I give you some back and you step it up with threats. As I said if you can't take it don't give it.

Might take up that offer now Annis.

Belittling posters on here all night? I've made about 10 posts mainly calling a whopper like you out, and that idiot Tonteg.

2 posters. That's it. You should get yourself a third member you can be the AAMB version of the Banana Splits. Clowns.
