Ali always used to say it when the team came from the tunnel when all the fans are there so why not now ?

You don't actually believe it's "league rules" do you![]()
It's Tan's rules, anyone who thinks differently is deluded.

Then why does Ali say it at other points? Any why have other clubs stopped also?

It's not a conspiracy. Ali has been announced as "Cardiff City - The Bluebirds" for years. As soon as tans evil plan comes into play, he stops saying it. In fact one of the members of the CCST has stated that the previous CEO confirmed that Ali was instructed not to say "Bluebirds" when Tan and his guests were present (as the teams come out for both halves) in case it upsets him "so as not to inflame the position".
Earlier on in the season he also announced a goal by saying "and the second goal by the Blue.....erm... Cardiff City.....scored by Frazer Campbell".

Yet you are more than happy to believe RFMH when he says it's "because of football league rules"?

i dont know what that has to do with my last reply but surely same goes for you because a member of the trust heared it from someone?.. it looks like we are at a stalemate.
im not going to carry this on its our biggest week for god knows how long and instead of reading post of people exited im having this back and forth with you, none of us are going to agree with each other, we would all like the blue kit and our badge but its not going to happen

Only just picked up on this thread , but just to clarify.
The question was asked (by me) of Alan Whiteley in a regular meeting between the Trust and the club`s senior management about dropping reference to Bluebirds when the team comes out at the start of each half. It was categorically stated by AW and confirmed by Julian Jenkins and Wayne Nash who were there at the meeting that Ali was being actively discouraged from making the reference because Vincent Tan had said he didn`t like it and they didn`t wish to "inflame the situation". Ali himself has also confirmed this to be the case.
In a subsequent direct conversation with Simon Lim , the new CEO/Chairman ,he also said this was the case and was reluctant to even raise the matter with VT for fear of upsetting him.
As for League rules , there is no rule whatsoever preventing teams being announced by their name and/or nickname (I have just checked direct with the League ).
