Please everyone support the team show the blue at 1927 and stop the insults to the club

agree this


No I think it's shit because I think it looks shit no secret agenda. My support whilst in the ground has been and always will be fully behind the players. I agree 19:27 must continue. :thumbright: :bluescarf:

Im sure something could have been done so that the roofline was a continuous one, even if it had been along the lines of angled joining pieces.



its due to fact stand already had planning permision in its present form, so unable to change design or would have needed new planning permision! dont forget other two ajoining stands can be changed in same way. as in original build it was designed to expand easily. :thumbup:

The only thing I don't like is the ayatollah on it. It looks bad. Although I do think it's a good idea, just hasn't been done that well

In my eyes it look pathetic and I'm sure every other fucker that visits our stadium will think the same.

Truly embarrasing, even in blue the ayatollah input would just look embarrassing, whoever designed this must have been the same people/person who designed our badge. Primary school children by the looks of it.


Get a grip. It's not embarrassing. It's something to be proud of. Or would you prefer open air toilets on the bob bank again? Oh wait - you probably would. Dinosaur.


No mate you get a grip, if you're fine with us looking like a mickey mouse club then that's up to you but those ayatollahs and red seats spoil what should be a great looking stand, it's f*cking cringeworthy. Are you genuinely happy with it ? Do you think it could've been designed any better ?

By the way those open air toilets were part of a stadium that had real soul and character. Times move on and I'm all for progress but I'm not ashamed to say I miss Ninian Park.


Tosh. Pure and simple 2. Ive been a supporter for 45 years, so probably longer than youve been born. I dont miss Ninian Park at all. Im not a sentimentalist. Im a realist.


I asked if you are genuinely happy with it ? and do you think it could have been designed better ?

Everyone is different I suppose but because I miss Ninian Park and think the new stand looks pathetic doesn't mean I am not also a realist. We are different in another way though, I respect traditions and you clearly don't, like I said fair enough that's up to you.

By the way well done on being born before me, great achievement that. Dinosaur ? :?
:bluescarf: :bluescarf:


Yes I may well be older than you, but I'm no dinosaur. I've accepted that as a club we have to move with the times or die. It really is as simple as that. It's dog eat dog in today's sporting world. There's no room for sentiment. It's survival of the fittest, it really is a case of being compared to evolution. Those who adapt to the environment, survive. Those who don't, become extinct. Do you REALLY think that fan's bluster is going to have an impact? Do you or anyone you know have a spare 15 million quid knocking about under the mattress, so that you can buy City and turn it blue again?

Tradition has it's place - It used to be a tradition that I would help my folks put up the christmas decorations when I was younger, but I am older now and my father died, so that tradition ended.


Jumanji - absolutely right. Time and circumstances marches on. Whatever happens though we do not lose (or disrespect) our history and the current events are simply new history being written. We are still Cardiff City FC and I really don't see any prospect of that changing.

Re: New Stand - Those Seats Go In Quick

Thu Jul 10, 2014 9:19 pm

Nobody would have picked red seats but the stand does add something to our flat pack stadium style.hopefully one day soon the seats will be full of blue clad vociferous supporters but in the meantime take it for what it is an impressive extension to our ground with seats that can be changed and the ayatollah design in the future. Don't buy any of this if you go to the games or sit in a red seat you endorse the re brand shit and frankly it's been done to death. Hate the re brand and what it's done to our fan base but love watching my team more, even if its in a alien colour and shitty badge.

What a first class knob you really are.

I am not a red 'lover', I have not said this once in my posts. I don't disrespect our history or tradition. I would love to see us in blue again. But. Its. Not. Going. To. Happen. You need to get over it or move on like The Lone Gunman on the other site. Stay away. Take up fishing. Golf. Anything. Because unfortunately, being a realist, I can see that protest against Tan is not going to make the slightest bit of difference. It wouldnt matter to the man, if the stadium was empty each and every game. He is not going to change. So either go with the flow, or go away and do something else. Otherwise you'll end up having a heart attack. And what good would that do?

Why should people just "get a grip" or "get over it" or be labelled a "dinosaur" just because they wish to see a football team playing in it's rightful colours?!

Why should people "go away" just because they disagree with something the club have done? :? Did you ever disagree with a club decision? Did you disagree with Ridsdale telling people ST money would go on transfers & lied?

If so, did you "go away" then? Or are you just a hypocrite?

Did I state that? You can read of course.

I have never said anything of the sort.

What I was pointing our to you is that the use of that phrase may not be overtly offensive, but it is a very personal phrase to use, as it demeans someone's stance. To illustrate this, I used it towards you, and you immediately replied. Thanks for proving my point.

It's all about context.

The new stand is not embarrassing, it is something to be proud of. The rebrand is embarrassing but people need to differentiate.

You wouldn't call the team embarrassing over the last few years purely because they wear a red shirt.

Focus your anger on getting the shirt back to blue instead of going off on things we cannot affect every time a picture appears showing progression.

Rightful colours according to who? You? Who makes the laws regarding colours of football kits? Blue was certainly not the original colour of the club as you well know.

I want blue back as much as the next man, but there we go, Im a realist. I'll live with the red til such time as the club reverts back, which it inevitably will one day. In the meantime, I'm saving myself the stress of worrying too much about it.

I've never agreed with anything the club has done incidentally, its been a litany of disaster from the day I started supporting them, (Toshacks last hat-trick), but I've never turned my back on them. Not once.

Because it's my club. And always will be. Blue. Red. Pink with purple polka dots. :thumbup:

Cardiff City as an entity have ALWAYS played in blue, since they became Cardiff City in 1908. We are the Bluebirds. A huge part of our identity, history and tradition are bound up in the colours, badge and nickname of the club.

It certainly isn't inevitable if people just sit back and do nothing about it. That's fine that you aren't too bothered about it, that doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't have to be too bothered about it and should be refereed to as dinosaurs by you.
