" UPDATE TUESDAY AUGUST 14th 2012 "

Carl can you confirm if the club have made enquiries about Ebanks-Blake..?

Club officials are bound to say sales of the 'red' shirts are going well. They are fighting hard for the rebrand. For children I am sure the colour of the shirt makes no difference. However I will be suprised if the sales of adult shirts beats last years figures although we only have the clubs word for it.

you would of had to be there saturday to see it there was loads of people wearing red shirts and i would say around 4,500 had red shirts on in the stadium

Season ticket sales have been on the up lately and as of today we have approximately 17,950 including premier seats, included in this figure is a total of 1,500 new season ticket holders.

Another bright spot for the club is that they had record sales for an opening weekend on shirt sales, not only that but club officials tell me that it is not just the red shirts that selling well but fans are buying all things red from the superstore, I know this news may sadden some City supporters but this is the truth of the situation, fans are backing the colour change based on the first few days of sales.

The Huddersfield game, when the fixtures were first released, was considered to be a police-free game but due to the fixture being moved to the Friday evening which allows more drinking time for supporters and the issue of the re-branding, the police feel there is a need to have a presence on the night.

The club expect there to be a crowd of around 22,000 judging by current sales, the expected walk up and the near on 700 Huddersfield fans attending.

City are hopeful to still bring a couple of signings in before the game on Friday but one name I can quash is that of Michael Owen, he has not been training with City, he has not had a medical and Cardiff have not made any moves to try and sign him.

Well I don't the rebrand but I'm not going to fight against it apart from wearing blue..... although that is hardly a protest in the middle of Kampala

Whether we like it or not it seems that there HAS been a commerical benefit already and that can only benefit the club.

I still hope and pray that one day we will return to wearing blue for our home league games.

I was there Saturday and would say about about that one in ten red shirts would be a high but fair estimate, that would make it about 800 (allowing for away fans).
I felt slightly alienated when the team ran out in red but am hoping this wears off. I won't buy a red shirt, my kids want them but are not having them (or the away one). I might bend on the away shirt for the kids (if they keep nagging and mellow a bit more) but never on a home red shirt.

All that said, c'mon City - heres to a great season

Just goes to show the support for the rebrand and the kcb are the minority by mile. Well done city.

Think that sums it up

I'm sticking to my principles and not going anywhere near the red shite.

But 22,000 is a pretty small crowd considering it's the first game of the season and we've signed Bellers. If we were still blue IMO we would be expecting about 24,000

Jack, I am with u all the way on this, I will never buy any of this rebrand stuff, I don't care if we are the minority, I am Blue no matter what and will never ever be swayed.

I am also surprised that the crowd will be that low due to our so called huge investment/debt.
No seriously with Bells back, I expected a near sell out.

Game on Sky has put the mockers on a big crowd

It surprised me how many red shirts there were in the crowd at the Newcastle game but I think now the season is about to start its about time we get over it and get on with supporting the team! This could be a massive season for us!

Has there actually been record shirt sales or more propaganda from the club, can't believe anyone would want to buy one of the shite let alone record numbers.

What a stupid thing to say about the colour , We couldn't sell out play off semi against West Ham.
22-23,000 will be a good gate considering we are on tv as well.

No propaganda mate, Shitload of red shirts visible on the reopening night were seen on adults and kids

Great news, as we all know the vast majority of supporters are prepared to back VT in what he is trying to achieve at our club, and that is to get into the PL.

This is the time to get behind the team not for protests, as time goes by we will look back at the re brand as just another chapter in our history, as what happened when Sam tried to do a re brand, that was to reach out to as many supporters as he could, great news about ST sales.

I suppose that the doom and gloom merchants will still try to put a negative spin on what is happening, that is the thing about our support we are never satisfied, if we did get to the PL they will still find something to criticise about

When we signed Fowler the club sold a shed load of shirts that day

Got told from someone who works in the store that they sold over 1000 on Friday alone.

I don't understand the smug self congratulatory attitude of some who profess to be 'pro-red'

If they could not sell a 1,000 on Friday then the shop never would. Last Friday was all geared about selling shirts not re opening the stadium. Bellers was signed on the day (coincidence) and everything was arranged for the day that only the new red shirt went on sale. There are fans who I know that will not be spending a penny in the shop/stadium this season so overall I cannot see the club being better off finically from sales this season. (local sales). It could be that 5 million will be sold in Malaysia ! who knows.

I am disapointed to hear that people are buying the shirts, I can understand that some people have accepted the red or dead option but to buy in to bullying from the owners is very dissapointing you can support City without supporting Tan.

I was expecting under 20,000 due to the game being live on the box and a friday night kick off, anything over that will be a decent crowd.

Spot on....

Was in the shop this afternoon three people queuing to get numbers or names. First time I have been in the shop since the re-brand, Christ the badge is horrendous but the red shirt looks better than the blue.

I won't buy it although my nipper is a mascot for the Brighton game so she will have to have one.

So the people ITK have gone from 90% done with just formalities to silence? How bizarre!

I am also surprised that the crowd will be that low due to our so called huge investment/debt.

Talk about Soar grapes . 22,000 is great going for a week Night fixture and where the game is Live on SKY.

Sounds all positive then.

Onward and upwards.

I will follow City Red, Blue or Pink Cos I,m loyal to the team not a colour.

of course the red shirts are selling well, they didnt put the blue ones on sale the sly bastards

kids, especially, just want a new shirt. understandable

adults, nothing to say on those i'm afraid
