Respect

Thu Feb 21, 2013 1:13 pm

I started watching the City in the late 70s with my old Man and on my own in the very early 80s . Now since then I have Laughed with you all, I have cried buckets, and we have stood together. We have always looked out for each other even though there has always been in fighting. We always had the respect of the opposition fans even though we have always been hated. A trip to Ninian Park used to be terrifying for them but we always had that respect.
And the thought of other fans taking the piss was a no no. But now all the above has gone for me, we dont have any of those traits any more, And every set of fans this season have taken the piss but no one cares any more because all that anyone sees is the Premiere.
I dont recognise Cardiff fans any more, The blue means nothing ! There is a difference between being a reluctant red and total backing and wanting the changes.
We have now become a standing joke amongst the footballing world and that has broken my heart and i am now expecting the abuse to come but i am just writing what i feel.
Tuesday night was the night the final nail was firmly hammered into our coffin that was once proudly the Bluebirds :cry:

Yes Craig i have but if at anytime i feel i cant do this anymore i will sell my ST to the highest bidder. Therd was a time i would not of made a penny out of a fellow Bluebird. But now there will be many of a glory hunter or a Manure fan willing to pay over the odds .
Sad i know and i feel ashamed even thinking like this but there you go :cry:

Sorry Nukes you can't complain while you have renewed you ST. You are just as bad as those with only eyes for premiership! Stick to your principles, if you hate something so much don't pay into his pocket. I am shocked that such an anti red like you has even contemplated buying a season ticket!

If you think the bluebirds/Cardiff has died then you shouldn't go anymore, the passion isn't there. You are a good man Nukes but what your saying doesn't hold water while you have willingly signed up to Tan and his vision.

I just don't go along with this you should not go if you don't accept it. I believe in fighting the cause from within. However from last Tuesday night I'm questioning if the cause has been lost.

Petitions and protests won't reach Tan, your money will. How is he meant to know hes pissed off a fanbase while people still turn up next season, even the anti reds? He's won, he now knows that he can do anything to the club and the antis will still buy their season tickets and support the club. Its not what you all want to hear but it's the truth.

We have no voice.

Well then the fight is lost because so I'm told by the red I can be replaced 10 times over.

No thinking about it I'll spend my money buying a season ticket, deny Tan a few quid more he could charge a newbie, refuse to spend another penny in the ground and most of all wear the blue which he does not want. Just a shame a lot more don't think that way.

Tan won't care that your wearing blue, the majority of the stadium will be in red. As long as your there, the fight was lost the moment that anti reds signed up to Tan and his vision by renewing season tickets.

Re: Respect

Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:06 pm

The "old" man trying to tell us what to do again?

If we don't go, someone else will & Tan won't even notice it.

You complained about Tuesday night - I can only assume you won't be going anymore?

Thing is, you can tell people you've stopped going & still go, because you're pretending to be an old man & nobody knows what you look like. :roll:

Is there a right or wrong way here Lads ? However you want to show your displeasure is up to that person i will not have a go at no one o what ever they decide to do.

I'll agree to disagree with you as you are pretty competent and polite unlike Chuckles who is devoid of all intelligence. I am of the believe that we have no voice at the moment regarding the rebrand, he hasn't listened has he. What voice do we have now?

I probably will renew myself but you won't here me moaning about it after, I know what I am signing up for this time, no excuses.

So, the pretend old man moans about people renewing and calling them hypocrites - then says he probably will himself. Priceless. :laughing6:

Aren't you understanding me chuckles, If I do renew I have agreed to forfeit the right to complain because it will be because I am backing Tan and vision. I have been man enough to admit that, are you?

So by the same logic if people are unhappy with how a country is run they should just leave the country or should they protest towards the government as a collective union to fight for change?

No, because as an ambassador, I have the right to air my opinions on the running of the club, just as any other ticket holder.

You are allowed an opinion on things, this isn't North Korea.

Don't worry James, if he sticks to his own preaching, he won't be here much longer as he will have stopped going. :wave:

Got to love how you are ignoring my question.

Are you man enough, like me, to admit that a season ticket renewal is supporting tan and his vision? Because that IS HOW TAN WILL SEE IT.

If I renew I will have to reluctantly move over to the red camp. What voice to we have now Barnett/Chuckles? We don't! Our voices haven't been heard otherwise we'd still be in BLUE.

Men like Tan don't listen, they don't see petitions and protests, they see balance sheets and on that balance sheet it will read season ticket renewals.

"They love me in Cardiff, they love the red!"

Peole / supporters can do what they like. But will i sit there and behave like a modern new Cardiff Dragons supporter ? No i wont. My heart is torn in two i would not expect you or anyone else to understand that. I have had a few texts this week one being from a pro red fan saying Chief you have been right from the begining Chief. And anothed from a blue diehard who says he wont be re newing his ST . All very very sad
