That's the thing he isn't going to walk away he never was, it was never Red or dead Chief. Alan Whitley has said so much. VT wanted Red we rolled over, he is used to getting his own way and red shirts we got.
VT is interested in us for one reason and one reason only and that isn't for his love of football as he doesn't even like football or Cardiff City. He wants us in the Premiere where there is a pot of Gold. His plans are or were the same weather we played in red or blue and no different IMO.

Cardiff City fans opposed to radical changes to the club’s colours and badge have set up a campaign group to fight the change.


The group, called Keep Cardiff Blue, was founded at a private meeting at the Ninian Pub on Monday evening.

A group of 50 fans were invited to discuss their response to changes linked to a £100m rebranding sanctioned by the club following its proposal by Malaysian backer Malaysian Vincent Tan.

Out of the discussion Keep Cardiff Blue was formed and long-time supporters Mike Roderick, Clive Fussell, Scott Thomas and Mark Watkins were nominated to co-ordinate the group’s activities.


Mr Roderick, 55, who has supported the club since he was nine, said they hoped to promote a “menu” of activity to put pressure on the club’s owners to revert back to blue.

Mr Roderick said: “What we want to do is try to appeal to those people who have reluctantly accepted the red and explain to them there’s no earthly reason why we should do this.

“We should be suggesting various actions people can take to put pressure on the owners to come back to blue.

“What we want to do is put together a menu of action people can take – the entry level is if you go to games make sure you wear blue.

“We would also suggest people don’t buy anything from the club shop, don’t spend any money at the stadium on food and drink – those kind of actions that anybody can take.

“For the more serious among us, we would encourage them to ask for a refund on their season ticket, ask them not to renew their season ticket.

“All of these actions are suggested as ways we can put pressure on people to return to blue.”

By yesterday, the group already had a central email address keepcardiffblue@mail.com and a website is expected imminently.

Scott Thomas, of Keep Cardiff Blue, said the formation of the group was the first chance fans had to have their say since the rebranding was leaked six weeks ago.

He said: “It’s an umbrella organisation to channel what I would say is pretty strong opposition.

“I think, to a certain extent, the support has spent time being a little bit shell-shocked and let the club get on the front foot.

“Monday night was the first chance for various strands of support to talk about things.”

Don't 'knock' it quite yet, as it looks like some "new" faces involved ;)

So long as they can stick the agreed aims and outcomes and keep it "on the level", it could be worthwhile :thumbup:
