Annis get over it. We have our colours back and our identity. I wish people would stop trying to cause rifts in the club. We are doing very well so stop all the out of date moaning forgive and forget, don't be bitter and get behind not only the team but also the club.
Take time to think where we may have been without Tan. Possibly welsh league, then you would have something to moan about. :clap:

I meant the outside of the Ninian Stand.
Those two massive red stripes for example.
I wish Ken Choo would get them painted blue!
Like they should be.

Always Supported the Team, No matter where they are playing or in what League, not just watching them now like some because they are riding high,I'm there when the club really needs support, when crowds were 1,500 home and 50 away.

Will never stop supporting the team on the pitch, but will stand by my views regarding the owner and that should be respected :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Wez, I agree I am a big moaner :lol:

But deep down, I am very hurt by how South Wales has not turned up in bigger numbers to Support Warnock and the team, when smaller clubs in my opinion are.
And yes crowds home and away as I have said many many times are my speciality and I love reading up on them :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Thank you Paul(Head of Sport), for your very honest Response. Never Did I ever back/Support or even ask Vincent Tan to stay.


That is an interesting response from Mr Abbandonato Annis. As you know I was always strongly against the rebrand , both personally and in my Trust role and fought very hard (along with many others of course). to have it overturned.

Mr Abbandonato , however , was a strong supporter of Vincent Tan and the rebrand at the time and critical of the groups who themselves criticised the rebrand. It seems he either has a short memory , or a selective one perhaps in an effort to seek popularity.

Correct Keith, He did support Tan/Rebrand and I can tell you now I remind him 24/7 and the Echo.

And yes you Keith personally were against the Rebrand :bluescarf:

Tried answering this earlier but for some reason it failed to post.

The Trust did many things to help get the rebrand reversed.

It had several meetings with the club board to assist them in getting a return to blue. I use the term assist deliberately as it should be remembered that those directors who strongly believed the rebrand to be wrong couldn’t stop it as they were always outvoted by the Malaysian directors put in as a majority by Vincent Tan.Certain senior club officials who dared to put their head above the parapet and voice their views were soon removed from office.

The Trust also got involved in helping organise and support protest marches and meetings against the rebrand as one of a number of a variety of methods to get the decision reversed.

The Trust also had a direct meeting with Vincent Tan at which it was made perfectly clear to him ( with supporting evidence such as survey results) that a large majority of fans were strongly against the rebrand. Unfortunately Vincent Tan refused to accept any other opinion than his own.

Eventually it was the financial disaster of the rebrand coupled with lots of coordinated fan opposition that got the rebrand reversed

We are in the midst of a promotion challenge. In blue.
The last time we were in a promotion challenge, we were in red.

This season, in blue, We already have had 5 games with less than 20,000 in attendance (I’m including tonight in that).

In our promotion season, in red, all home games had 20,000 + .

Which just goes to prove that the vast majority of supporters don’t give a toss about colour, badges or shirts. If the team was still in the Premier League and still playing in red, then the stadium would still have 30,000+ in it every week.

At least Mr Tan has learned from his mistakes. We might have had owners such as those at Coventry, Blackburn, Charlton, Blackpool etc

It’s time to move on - and stop sulking because you can’t get what you want.
