Yes your sort of right 300 turned up, but not when it mattered. I never went and I know many others never went. Now that they have dropped the against modern football side of it and are only interested in uniting to try and get our Identity back and reminding the fans that we are really Blue, I will be supporting them 100%.

As to the numbers that turned up, you have to start some where and it was a non football day, they gained good media coverage and it all went well. At least they are trying, you might not be bothered about our identity, but I am and so are they. :ayatollah:

Best for you to just embrace the Red.

I went last Sunday and to be honest it was a good afternoon with no problems and was a joy to see a sea of blue everywhere. The reason why I went was because I want Cardiff City FC to be playing in it's rightful colours at home which is Blue and to have either our old crest back or at least a modification of it. I was a bit confused at the banner I saw though, "Against Modern Football", as far as I was aware this march/get together was to unite all Bluebirds that want to get our traditional Blue colour back NOT to protest against modern football, the other thing that confused me was the "Keep Cardiff Blue" motto which was on the same banner. How can you keep Cardiff blue when it changed to red a year ago, the best fit motto imo would have been "Bring Back Blue for Cardiff" or words to the like. I'm not knocking the organisers of this one bit and I do applaud them for doing something about the situation but personally I would have had a banner saying "Bluebirds Unite" and "Bring Back Our Blue", that would have looked more fitting. I understand that the "Against Modern Football" statement has been dropped so I will now give this group my whole support. Thank you once again to the organisers for standing up for something 99% of our fans want.

""Bluebirds Unite""? Damn right we should!!! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Steve, All I have heard about last Sunday was nothing but good. A couple of City fans brought a banner with them against Modern Football, but they've all chatted about it since then and it's been totally agreed, Bluebirds Unite Now only stands for, getting our rightful identity back, BLUE :ayatollah:

I am 100% behind them now :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

A "tiny" bunch of fans who think they represent the vast majority of fans.

You are making fools of yourselves. Just because you set up mb's or facebook pages it doesn't give you automatic status as "leader."

You were like sheep when the colour change came about.

Thanks for your support all & BU is about Uniting all Bluebirds who wish to return to our identity.
The banner was produced by some members as we're many and it was at the front as it was the biggest.
The Echo called us Keep Cardiff Blue and we are Bluebirds Unite.
Apologies for any confusion this has created

Like most organisations that start up mistakes are made.

At last I do believe we have a setup that us blues can get behind. Well done to all those involved and are now leading this. I look forward to seeing this grow of which it will and becoming a focal point the the blue supporters to turn to.

Re: ' Over 1,600 Members and rising '

To clear up the guys who produced the against modern football banner did so because they don't believe that fans should be powerless and not consulted over decisions at the club.
However I have spoken with these members and they agree that they will not be focusing on the Against Modern Football in any future Bluebirds Unite features.
We are focused on returning the Pride, History & Identity of the Bluebirds
Thank you all
In a meeting all day so apologies if I do not respond further

Which is why it should be done on a proper website with free membership and not on a gimmick piece of shit such as Facebook.

Doesn't matter if they are a tiny amount of fans or a huge amount of fans, they are standing up for what they believe & good luck to them. I'll certainly back their cause. I've been a fan for many, many years & strongly believe we should play in blue however I support Cardiff City FC regardless as always.
I see no point in being sarcastic or criticising them. If you don't agree then where your red.

Mmmmmm what to do, what to do?

I would love to be back playing blue and getting back to our true identity.

I won't buy anything red or anything with the new badge.

I will always support Cardiff city regardless of the colour or badge.

I have a concern about getting involved in something like this and I am worried we will drive tan away.

Is that the aim?
