Whats so funny is everyone keeps saying "rather be blue in league 2" yet nobody is willing to boycott any games. Its the only thing Tan will take notice of.

Lots of people Talk a good job. Only very few actually mean it. Rather act a better fan behind a keyboard.

FFS change the record. Fed up of reading your drivel.

Would have gone to many more games this season. Decided not to give Tan my hard earned. However, I love Cardiff City and could not keep away completely. Always wear blue. Suspect many fans feel/do the same.

Rant over

Craig to many its best to be vocal in the ground. Look how much video coverage and support we have had via the media. We haven't had that by boycotting. But then again many would love us to dissappear so the red army of plastics can enjoy the limited time of glory.

Problem is nukes, the songs have been sung for nearly 2 years, wearing blue to.....what difference has it made to Tan? He has said he will go if he gets his money back, so he cares about money. If people boycott it hits him in the pocket.

Its like wandering around Tesco shouting how much you hate it, whilst filling your trolley up and going to the checkout.

If people truly would rather be blue in league 2 then where is the problem in bboycotting games now? It doesnt matter about supporting the players when you'd rather see them in league 2.

Not sure boycotting is the answer for a couple of reasons:

1. Sadly I feel only a couple of thousand will boycott.
2. Those who boycott will easily be replaced.

By having the blue brigade in the stadium at least that plays on the minds of those who are all mouth but no action.

All to late now ian as I have said to annis this board was the perfect platform to start something going along with kcb but the reality was the hierarchy and prominent members were asked to step back by Sam because of his fears of losing his money.
It's all well and good people bleating about driving him out now but if you want a sustainable football club we have to have a plan to replace him with an owner or consortium who in reality care about the colour of the shirt as I am not a believer of him having stole our history or to some extent identity.
To me a name change is the stealing of our identity as I see it and so that's where I suspect he gets his 90% approval stats from.
To me his attitude despite being stubborn and arrogant gives me hope that he is actively looking for a buyer although I suspect failure would not sit well with him and the obvious loss of face and money would grate with him as well.
That interview was the actual turning point for me based on his claim about getting involved in transfers next summer.
I believe that the Zaha loan was instigated by tan and his son and whoever had been in charge including Malky would have seen him at our club in January.
After 47 years I have not renewed my ticket along with my wife's and will look to spend time with my 5 year old grandson instead on a Saturday.

Steve, that is really sad to read.

Steve, As you know from day one of the rebrand I've not stepped back once from wanting our True Identity back and Sam nor no one was going to stop me.
Steve you look back to my posts on this forum and FB from day one of the Rebrand, I have been very Vocal and never stopped :thumbup:

Prominent City fans, many your friends and others from this forum threatened the KCB group and sent them under.

Myself personally I've let my true feelings be known from day one and taken it to every City game.

Is it to late? it's never to late to in my eyes the more that stand up to this Dictator the better.
I urge you and every City fan to turn up v Liverpool and let Tan know what we think. The more that turn up, the more the World will be shown the demonstration.
Steve, the more well known fans like yourself who join the protests the more we will get ourselves heard.
We must never ever give up :thumbup:
We've kept the BLUE going at the matches and many have been threatened over it as you know.

Nukes is right, we never had enough fans who would boycott the games, so the next best thing was to wear BLUE and it's worked in my opinion :thumbup:

Its not about boycotting (not going near the ground)its about all you blue wearing scarve wavers staying outside the ground during a game and protesting,if it means that much sacrifice a few games.

As a lifelong Bluebird fan you should be looking forward to taking your grandson to the ground. It is a real shame it has come to this.

I have spoken to many a fan on this subject over the last 2 seasons and the opinions vary just like the weather. If I was asked the question what is the agenda of the average Cardiff fan it would have to be on the lines of let Tan poor his money into the club then when everything settles we say thanks but no thanks. I personally could not accept this as I feared apathy would win the day and I'm afraid my fears are coming to fruitition. I spoke to a number of older heads last season and the common reply I got from them was its too late now. This is one of the main reasons I didn't renew because if this is how the old heads were thinking then we are onto a lost cause. Yes I put the blame firmly on our old heads for this predictament we find ourselves in.

I continue to watch my club due to the rise of organisations that have held onto the belief that the blue will return. Sadly I have witnessed the statement conquer and divide between the organisations which has held the blue cause back. Fortunately this has been counter acted by Tan statements. So the fight continues and it is always left to the same one or two to lead it.

People only seem to care a out the here and now and the prem. bollocks to it for god sake the bigger picture is we were blue for 100 years and it about pride belonging and showing real passion for your club.

We all need to maintain and protect it from this idiot. Its not about the prem or champ it about cardiff City as a whole and for me 35 years of devotion to this club and ill never turn my back on my club its true identity or my fellow fans.

Some people need to have a long hard think

I think it's fans like us who have supported the club for many years and had season tickets when we were in the bottom divisions who care most about our history, and returning to blue. A lot of people who follow the club now, do so to watch premier league football in general as much as to watch Cardiff in particular. I don't think they feel the same way about the club as us old die hard fans, and couldn't care less what colour our shirts are. Unfortunately, I don't think there's enough of us who really care to make much of a difference, as we are in the minority. If we end up in the bottom two divisions again then those who care will be in the majority as we won't see the thousands who have arrived to watch us being a top championship and then a premiership team.

To be honest, it really saddens me to read/hear so much bickering between city supporters (Craig I apologise for my earlier outburst).
The bottom line (I hope) is that we all love Cardiff City Football Club and want the best for our club. Tan has clearly split the fan base over the re-brand and ANY set of supporters would have been similarly split in our circumstances. Many obviously disagree about the way forward ... maybe that will be clearer come the end of the season?

I respect those who have completely walked away. Hopefully they'll come back when Tan has gone.
I also respect those who wear blue but go to the games to make their voice heard.
For those who wear red I can't really agree with your embrace of Tan's re-brand but if you genuinely love the city I'll stand with you when we're back in blue FOR THAT DAY WILL SURELY COME.

Well I agree with you, boycotting and embarrasing Tan on Sky TV sending a message out to the world let alone the UK would have more impact than poncing around with protestests that Tan couldnt give a flying f**k about

I want Tan gone and a return to blue. I understand that some feel that by going to the games then Tans rebranded version of Asia FC is being funded but if a blue fan goes then a red one comes in. By being Blue and being visual then Tan is getting the message as we discovered in the recent interview. Well done lads keep up the good work!

And so will I, I won't be giving up. There's three weeks to get the word out there, all fans need to hear about it and then they can make their own minds up. All fans who are against the way Tan is running our club should make their voices heard.
