FAO The newly formed London Bluebirds former 1927 club

I've just come from a supporters club committee meeting and it was brought to our attention that a newly formed Supporters group as been formed in London after the closure of the 1927 club?

The supporters club always enjoyed a good relationship with the 1927 club who were part of our membership for many years until recently where they decided to have their own independent group.

If you are interested in rekindling that relationship with us, we are more than happy to oblige for your group to become an independent branch of the supporters club, and help you get on your feet where we can offer the same benefits, and more the previous 1927 club enjoyed. We have many young members who progress onto university in London and it would be a great for them to know there is a vibrant supporters group in London that is a branch of the supporters club.

We are willing to waver the joining fee for next season to your members to allow you to build up your club both financially, and membership but still enjoy the full benefits of being part of the supporters club,which includes our connections and contacts we can provide within the football club that we believe will benefit your organisation.

Sorry to post this on the Messageboards but I have no other way of contacting anyone involved in the running of it.

Look forward to hearing from you

Lets hope this happens its important that city fans have this supporters club...getting exiles together will save on costs and create friendships so let's wish them well

Great gesture by the CCSC and surely unless they have sole use and protected the 1927 club name, then it should live on, no need for this group to be rebranded as well surely.

What is this? Why should we join your club?

Lol, "waiver" the joining fee.

Why can't they use the old name?

Spelling not my strong point but if you want me to show you how to set out a corner to a three brick thick flemish garden wall bond I will be more than happy to oblige

Or if you wish me to work out some alpha points on a 100 metre kerb radius I can also oblige

Vincent, I'm not pulling you on your spelling. I don't mean to be an asshole either(I know I can be).


I'm just wondering what kind of fee you would have to pay to join this club.

All members who are adults pay just £7 a season and get a great service for that and recoup that with subsidised travel.

Well the 1927 club used to pay half price because they couldn't take advantage of the cheaper travel prices but for those who do use that its £7 adults per season £3 under 18s and over 60s per season. !927 club members pay £3 and £1

Why can't they use the old name?

Because two of the anti blue KCB gang would not allow it, allegedly.

Cheers Vince.

I'll put this onto the Forum and see what's said.

allready done Kyle onwards & upwards now

I found out this off a mate who has access t the private forum run by the 1927 club and he says that Two people against the re brand but mainly Scott Thomas, actively refused 1927 members the option of keeping the 1927 brand unless they all decided to stop following the club and fight the re branding of Cardiff City....members wanted to continue wanting the City so refused...Scott Thomas forced the London members to re brand the supporters club to the London Bluebirds and therefore is the biggest hypocrite of all.

This could be just another bitter fan who knows but that is his view on the saga, he also says he is looking forward to the new set up regardless of names and is just glad the big fat tosser Thomas is not involved.

I do like TLG's stance on this saga;

"It seems that Cardiff City now has supporters who don't care that the club's traditional colours have been ditched by a Malaysian businessman; they don't care that the club's iconic Bluebird emblem has been replaced by a generic, clipart Welsh dragon; they don't care that an identity which had been developed over more than a century has been almost totally erased within the space of twelve months, but they do care that a London-based supporters' group has changed its name!"

Apologies for cross linking but

Vince - you could have contacted me, my phone number and email is still the same, but there we go.

Dave (FatCat) - see my original post on this - http://www.ccmb.co.uk/fudforum/index.ph ... &goto=3709 621&rid=12#msg_3709621 but you saw Robbie last Saturday and he went through it again then I'm sure. It's a simple case of not associating the 1927 club name with the football club until the rebrand is reversed and the traditional identity is returned.

It's not dead, it's not lost, it's mothballed and will be back when the time comes. There was no actual "vote" because the membership was fractured - we had half the actual membership renewals to usual because of what happened, and we had no-one willing to step forward to run it until the eleventh hour. Any actual vote would have been meaningless, and would (in my opinion as someone with the lists etc) have gone against your views. Who would have run it? Would people have believed the results? It was impossible.

Ninianboy1 - I understand your views on this, but I'd also ask you to respect the people who made the decisions, including those going to run the new club. Given the acrimonious way it happened, to try and continue "one club" would be impossible. People would re-join and cause issues if it had been allowed to go on. THere had to be a split of some sort. Glyn, Mason, Aidan - the people who are taking the london bluebirds on have got past that and it has been settled now.

Again, I'd ask that people leave this subject be on here, it's never been my intention to conduct our business on here. I am amazed this week of all weeks it's been one of the top discussion points on here. I'm still on the same e-mail address, contact me if you want to continue arguing the points.

Thankyou

Explains it all.

There were a majority of 1927 club members who agreed with the change, even a fair number of those taking on the london bluebirds were happy enough with the split.

thanks
