Would you like us to go back to blue?

Sun May 26, 2013 12:34 pm

I believe that pretty much 100% of us would love to see us back in blue, but our fans have to stop buying and wearing red. Tan is desperate for us to start wearing red, he proved this fact by spending thousands of pounds on scarves and trying to get us to wear them by giving prizes for doing so. Despite this, other than the Brighton game there have been less and less scarves on display. There are of course those fans that will always buy the home shirt no matter what, but if you have to buy a shirt next season, it would speak volumes and really help the cause for a return to our traditional home colours if you buy the blue away kit.

Tan can make the players wear red, he can change the website to red, he can change the stadium to red, but he cannot make us fans wear red.

It is the most simple effective way of getting our point across.

BLUE ARMY!!

Do you really think Tan cares what colour the fans wear? I doubt he cares if you were bollock naked as long as you paid the entrance fee.

Like many others i believe the best way to get him to change his mind is through dialogue. The quickest way is to vote with your feet in the thousands and refuse to go to matches.

You are completely right but unfortunately some of our fans don't care. There will be more red than last season considering all the new plastics coming along and our new all red Premier League home kit going on sale soon.

If fans care enough then they will wear blue, they shouldn't need to be told to wear it.

If our fans refused to buy red merchandise from the club it would be making a statement. I'm not saying that in itself would make tan change his mind, but it would certainly help the cause.

Boycotting will never make a difference as there will always be fans waiting to take their seat.

You could well be right. I live in hope.

I do Craig, otherwise he would not have done the red scarf thing. Also, his comments about wanting fans to wear red and sing red songs at the supporters dinner would show that he does care.

This is right. As much as I respect those fans that refuse to go, there are not enough to make a difference. The only chance of a boycott working is if we were to boycott a single game en masse. A near empty stadium on TV would get a lot of publicity. This could be something that is feasible but it needs organising and the reason that so far any protests have been ineffective is due to the fact that we have no one single organisation that is taking the lead and that we can get behind.

This is what the trust is there for, if we could swell the membership of the trust, then we would have a much better chance of getting something done.

If he cared that much hed refuse to sell the blue kit

True, but the points I mentioned showed that it certainly bothers him, at least a little bit.

Re: Would you like us to go back to blue?

I think that all Cardiff fans would like to play in Blue but at this time it's not an option.

The question is would you choose to play in red in the prem. with a good young manager and more signings on the way.

Or

In blue in league 2 with a team of has been and never will be, a second rate manager and any half decent player queuing up to jump ship.


I'll take the red.

I'll take the red, a team the people of Cardiff and surrounding areas can take great pride in, with attendances of 27.5k week in week out.

In reality you don''t deserve respect for being in League Two nowadays, Plymouth fans say how embarrassing it is to be in such a league, when in reality they should be in a higher league. Fans of Luton think even worse of the conference, they don't sing and dance about it, they want to be out of the conference as soon as possible

That isn't the question though, how do you know we would be in League Two if we didn't change to red? You don't, that's just a massive assumption.

The fact that you would choose Premier League football and embarrassment over identity and dignity says it all.

Before Tan was here we had several winding up orders on us.

Tan said "he may leave"

My son had a red kit last season only because it was released way before the blue one. Im hoping the away one goes on sale the same time as the home this year. Im sure alot of people do the same and I feel if they did both go on sale the same time there would be alot more blue.

I would still buy the red one to be honest. Both kits are blemished with the modern badge so its not like we can get away from it. Best thing to do is embrace the red and get used to it because its going to be around for as long as Tan is here and thats going to be a while. Theres no point fans continuing torturing themselves mentally thinking Tan is going to turn us back to blue. Dive in the deep end, wear the red and learn to swim.

The club want more people to wear red though so I'm sure they will release the alternative kits later on after a month or so of the red kit selling well.

No assumptions,HMRC wanted us wound up.
We were struggling and pretty much robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Us fans had been deceived and let down by the people who were trusted to run our club.

Then Tan stepped in...
