Bluebirds Unite.

I can't support this for the simple fact that they are going along with this 'against modern football' bollocks which every single one of them was more than happy to embrace before Vincent Tan came along and changed the badge and colours.

Were they against modern football when we got to the FA Cup Final?

Were they against modern football when we reached the Carling Cup Final?

Were they against modern football when we had our other trips to Wembley and the Millenium Stadium?

Were they against it when we were spending money on players under Sam and rising from Division 3 to the Championship?

Were they f**k, they rode on the crest of a wave like every body else, your argument is against the change of colours and badge which I fully sport, its nothing to do with modern football, that is just a convenient side argument.

I'm against the Red as much as the next man but cut out the 'Against Modern Football' stuff guys.

Are you saying that if Vincent Tan said, listen, I dropped a bollock here, I am going to go back to blue shirts and old badge.

What will you fight against then? Modern Football? NO, the fight will end. That will make you the biggest bunch of hypocrites ever!

Drop the AMF stuff ladies and gents, its not the way to go

I know, 16-17 year old kids that haven't got a clue what football used to be like. Modern Football also stands for things like, better and safer terracing, family areas, better matchday experiences! nah....f**k modern football lol

Sort of insulting every 16-17 year old who supports City, you know the ones that still go to the games whilst the older fans sit back and moan on how it's not like its used to anymore? Our away support is quite youthful. I'm not against modern football or anything at all. Certain aspects such as ticket prices I don't agree with but I guess some people can have a grasp on what it was. People are not against modern football, they are against certain aspects of it. Ridiculous f*cking comment

Basically modern football has attracted big business. Most clubs that have been fortunate to gain the investment of this have been allowed to keep their traditions, One or two of these clubs have not been so lucky.

So your not against modern football then but against the rebrand otherwise if we were against
Modern football we would have all knocked it on the head years ago.

These people who are against modern football
Are making fools of themselves mate.

People who have been going up untill last season are suddenly against modern football.

Hypocrits to a man

They see the rebranding as a part of the whole "modern football" package. The rebrand was the last straw for them I guess.

There's aspects I wish we could return to & there's aspects I much prefer now.. On the whole, it should just be anti-rebrand, rather than anti-modern football.

Well actually I would like you to elaborate on what you call Modern Football.

To some people it is players wages, the amount of debt and the atmosphere. All related because the real passionate fans are being priced out of the game therefore effecting the atmosphere.

All the above is usually the result of a take over.

Personally I just prefer to say you are against the Prices, why put it in a category.
