New Group To Restore Tradition - The Ninian Stand

I wana know who this player is giving you tickets!

You cannot kid a kidder Barney but you crack on catching the rest of the whoppers

I hope you make it clear to your members you dont care if the word "City" is dropped from the name

I think he's slightly mental

Hes bananas mate.

Good value if you take what he says with a pinch of salt. Yesterday he was going to get a "Red Army" group going, then he was "Yellow" as he wanted to remain neutral, now hes founding a pro-blue group.

Oh and he also has his own forum - redbirds

No. I said im buying the yellow kit to remain neutral in my views. Im not buying a kit now as apparently only a couple hundred going on sale with the blue kit which I think is wrong as they are the kits the fans want.

Oh and he also has his own forum - redbirds

That isn't my forum. Its set up by someone called Rhys.

Im in the process of setting up my own forum though for The Ninian Stand for members to talk and collaborate on ideas.

I know its yet another group but there are many unhappy with whats going on at Bluebirds Unite so rather than have these people branded pro reds or abused, which many are not and are just fans who peacefully want to go about things, I thought about making a stand to restore our traditional kit and work on a badge that is modernised and in the interests of all. The current badge i'm sure most of us agree does not show Cardiff City FC in the best light at all.

I believe another group that supports a return and gets more fans onside is surely better than leaving these fans feel as outcasts and alienated if they do not feel as if they can pledge support to the current groups on offer. i.e. Bluebirds Unite. I am not wishing to compete with Bluebirds Unite at all and they can get on with things peacefully in their own right.

This is an online campaign mainly with possible flag donations to get a voice within the stadium as well and to bring together clever ideas that support the groups overall aim. Badge designs, flag designs and as someone with an interest in Photoshop myself I will of course get involved with others so hopefully those with an artistic nature get involved also.

The website also has a blog section ready for members to add their opinion on the rebrand and give their opinion without having to face the backlash that might ensue if they air their views elsewhere. Please remember that if you do become a member that your views are reflected on the group as a whole and anything deemed offensive in any way will not be tolerated as the group tries to maintain a professional image.

The current site is my blog converted and can be found at: http://aviewfromabluebird.wordpress.com/

The Twitter page for the group is already set up and the official domain is in the process of propagation and will point towards the blog once it has completed so it will also have an official and professional URL.

I am funding the domain entirely myself and on a non profit basis. If we decide to create a fund later ALL MONEY collected will go back into purchasing flags or putting down an order for blue scarfs or cards to be taken into the stadium.

We hope you at least take a look at our aims on the website even if you then decide to not get involved.

Please message us on Twitter if you wish to get involved and contribute.

Thank you,

The Ninian Stand - making a stand for what is right!

Seems like a dig at BU & don't see why you're digging about that? Blue shirts obviously increase the amount of blue in the ground & also help raise funds towards making their aim.

Nothing like that will be done. This is a non profit cause and being self funded by me in terms of hosting. Any money generated will go into scarfs, card ideas to show up at games or any other things members come up with. I think people get the wrong impression that this going to be another Bluebirds Unite, I can assure you it is not going to be.

Where did i say Bu? Assuming again Chucks i think another group is not needed and will just start selling the above before loosing interest and disapearing and that's it..
The Bu is not something i'd join but nothing against them either..

Well. What were you rolling your eyes about then? You wrote it in the style of a complaint... No assumptions, but clear insinuations from you.

You accuse Chuckles of assuming but you're assuming the group I have set up will be exactly the same as Bluebirds Unite when in fact you are wrong. How can you single out Chuckles for making assumptions when you are in fact doing the very same thing?

Its not fair. Stop the arguing.

Making things up again putting words into the post which wasn't there.. i think another group is not needed and will just start selling the above before loosing interest and disapearing and that's it..
No mention of BU so stop jumping to conclusions.

Chuckles is assuming i'm having a go at BU which isn't true and no mention of Bu in my post. Where as your new group is what i posted my opinion on

I don't want to speak to you all you do is jump on threads to prolong arguments I wonder if your like this off the forum

Yes but your assumption on our new group is wrong Jinks. You are free to join and collaborate and you will see that to be the truth.

I don't join groups of any sort but thanks for the offer

You're wrong on that one. You still didn't say what you were rolling your eyes at? Why do you assume that will happen? I just find it funny that you have a go at me for assuming something, then make a massive assumption about something yourself.

Ok mate and thanks for your comments.

I've had a tempestuous relationship with BU to say the least! I would like to join a sensible and reasonable group that has positive demeanour in its actions.

The thing I agree with you most about Barnett is the name change.

Even BU call us Cardiff City Bluebirds (why I will never know, as the question never gets answered)

While the colour and badge are damning the fact that I support Cardiff City FC is what I was born with and what I will take to my grave.

Fair play you have answered most of the questions thrown at you on here and your replies have been solid enough. This is an interesting turn of events! I don't think many people are interested in BU anymore because they lack the professionalism to speak for the masses. I firmly believe that if we want to get our traditional colours and respectable badge this is the way to achieve it.

The only reservation I have is about you and your track record for being on the wind up and spouting nonsense for fun. But to be fair that is based purely on what I have seen on this forum so I won't be blinkered in that regard.

The thing I agree with you most about Barnett is the name change.

So you are ok with dropping the word "City" from our name then?

No. I don't think he's said that in the OP.... And my observations on Barnetts rather sketchy posting in the past have been made abundantly clear in my post. Most of which you seem to have ignored.

He has stated quite clearly on several occasions this past week that he doesnt have an issue with dropping the word "City" from the name.

He states it on the 2nd page of this thread actually

I do care but would not go mad about it

I would only accept something similar to what we have.

Cardiff City FC
Cardiff FC - drop the City - thats fine by me as its still Cardiff in it and no stupid nickname or corporation like Red Bull

Cardiff & The Vale FC is even better than Cardiff Dragons FC and is similar to Brighton & Hove Albion and would also make perfect sense to get people from those areas more involved and supporting the club. Although the clubs in those areas might not like it it would make more sense than dragons.

If Tan wants dragons then just the nickname FFS and he can put the dragon logo on Asian TV to appease the people there. If he puts dragons or anything like that in the name it will be a disgrace.

I would accept a name change but never incorporate a nickname within our name. That is just wrong.

Cardiff FC is fine

James, you're gonna either have to admit that you have been WUMing again (despite promising not to) or that you're opinions change more than my underpants do....
