WOULD MISSING FANS COME BACK IF...

Tue Apr 23, 2013 3:13 pm

...we changed back to blue?

I fully respect decision of those who stopped going due to rebrand.

I hugely dislike rebrand but am grateful for the investment and would never stop going.

But if we went back to blue would those who have stopped going return or is there now too much bitterness? Getting tickets won't be easy either.

I would love VT to say we'll be in blue for our first season in top flight for over 50 years and end the divide forever. :ayatollah:

The thing is, they would have to go as walk up crowd and hope for the best now, as all the season tickets are sold out.
Next season, existing season ticket holders get first dibs too.

There wont be much availability next season as per Carl Curtis Update so a minimal walk up each week.The ones we have lost seemed to have been replaced.

Relegation would change that.

Well you don't pick and choose when you support a club.

Yet if he continued to go, many would brand him a hypocrite.

You can't win, eh? :thumbup:

It's great to see people saying they would come back.

They certainly shouldn't be laughed at because most are long standing supporters, many of whom used to go away.

They may well be replaced this season but how many of the new fans would keep going if we're relegated?

I'm all for attracting new fans but let's not lose older ones too.

Just as there was no reason to change to red, there is now no reason to revert. Although ALL would love a return to blue, NEARLY all have no qualms with accepting red if that is the only way they can still watch Cardiff City.

The only people affected by a return to blue would be those who walked away, lets hope they would be given a small window to renew ST's in a new filled in corner of the stadium.

I would sincerely hope those who had the conviction to walk away would live up to their word and stay away. I would respect them for that :ayatollah:

It is only my opnion (well, maybe not only mine ;) ) but they ceased to be Cardiff City FC supporters the day they let the colour change affect the way they view their so-called beloved club :(

Each will have their own opinion/reasons on 'why' they see the change to red as such a bitter event and no-one can really argue with their personal views but it still amounts to the same thing; abandonment of their so-called beloved club :(

Having said that, I have far more respect for those that 'walked' than those who stayed yet still won't accept they have 'accepted' the red by default (i.e. simply by paying money to watch next season) :lol: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I agree with this - no need to mock fans who have stopped going - the club should do everything possible to get any who were ST holders and gave them back to return to the club, in my view :ayatollah:

The only ones I've got a problem with are those who continue to use the mb's with a clear agenda that is against CCFC, but most don't do that.

In fairness mate I can't really think of anyone who has an agenda against CCFC apart from Jacks (and Jacks perporting to be CCFC). We've all got City in our blood, every one of us, from the reluctant accepters through to the True Bluers)

Having spoken to a number of the disillusioned I get the feeling the anti-red/rebrand is as much about 'against modern football' as much as the colour change.Perhaps it's also to do with the current economic situation and general lack of money.
I would guess that for quite a number, a change back to blue would not matter.

Ok but tell them to shut the f**k up and stop making a fuss over it, if they don't want to go dont go.
People need to stop attention seeking.
