CARL CURTIS URGES FANS TO BACK IDENTITY RESTORATION

By Carl Curtis

And yet again Vincent Tan has his timings ridiculously wrong.

I, nor any other supporter, have absolutely no need to apologise to Vincent Tan for wanting our identity as a blue football club restored.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/foot ... ts-6759576?

Tan pledged he would turn his debt to equity once the Langston deal was finalised if he had his way over rebranding the club and changing the colour.

Why has the conversion of debt to equity not taken place?

I reluctantly went with the rebranding because of the pledge to make this club a debt-free one.


http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/foot ... ts-6759576?

But I will continue to campaign for the return to blue and would urge every City fan to back a campaign to restore our identity

good luck carl all city fans should unite behind this but i think as long as tan is our owner we will never play in blue at home again. you can see in his interview the mans a crack pot :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

A pointless exercise Carl. Tan is not listening and he's digging his heels in. Only one thing will stop him and that is an organised boycott of the stadium (the more that join the boycott the better), everyone stay outside the stadium during a match calling for him to restore our identity :ayatollah:

I think a fan boycott of the stadium would be the best way to protest. Flying banners and chanting against our owner is pretty pointless and to be honest also rather embarrassing .

I fully agree that we need to do something
However it needs to be done in a very focused
And Orginized way this shows tan we are
As one and not divided this I think would
Be harder than the demonstration itself
To arrange, all interested groups who have
tried And for various reasons in my option
Have lost their way should all come together
Forget the politics and become one major
Force this includes the supporters trust
I for one would get involved
Just a thought

My only concern with a boycott of the ground is if there is a good percentage who go in to the game will this reinforce his deluded opinion of the 10% shit. It would be hard for the parents in the family stand to tell their kids were staying outside or not going today. Also there is potential for more division within the fan base if people want to watch the game they've spent their hard earned money and are bar racked by someone picketing the queue. Not saying it would happen but unfortunately this is a more emotive issue to some more than others. Carl are there any plans for the likes of the forums, trust and supporters club getting together to plan anything jointly to pool the resources at your disposal for any event protest to get maximum effect

Hi Carl, I've got some good ideas and thoughts for a successful focussed campaign. Give me a call later if you like.

Any ideas should be taken on board your never going to get 20 odd thousand people agreeing on everything.

True very true but everyone needs
To have all ideas and thought to make that
Decision that's one of the problems
Lack of real information

Me and my kids would definitely stay outside I am 100% up for it

Why dont all us Blue lovers organize ONE big, highly visible demonstration of our will yo return to blue. For example boycotting the last game of the season against Chelsea. Its a big enough game so it might be on the telly. Ok the reds will turn up anyway but they probably would only fill half the ground. If we could organise this successfully it would be a powerful message to Tan and the world that its much more than 5% against the rebrand. The Chelsea game is high enough profile and it gives us time to organise it.

So is Liverpool but I think we should
Look at the bigger picture people will want
To go to the match whatever colour
And the fact they paid for it
I'm sure there's a better way

It's fantastic to see to many people wanting to protest and get involved, including a few people who were pro red. What I will ask though is why have you left it so late to get involved? However come one come all, TAN needs telling and with an alleged figure of under 10000 season tickets sold it appears people are talking with their feet. I sense this protest at the Liverpool game will be massive since Tans latest statement. Bluebirds unite!!!

Best idea would be the blue scarf give a way as you approach the stadium that the supporters club where going to fund, turn the stadium blue :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

This is nothing to do with Bu so keep your drunken racists away from this protest.

I also remember Carl urging for calm when the rebrand was announced in an effort to get Tan back onside when he threatened to leave.

Its 2 years too late I am afraid.

These rallying calls should have been 2 years ago not wen we are about to get relegated.

It's Never to late, We've kept the BLUE going for the last 2 years and its increased every game, that to me goes a long way in keeping our Identity alive :thumbup:

As to the Demonstration, Sky, BBC and the worlds media will all be there for this and we had approx 1,500 on Boxing Day according to Police figures, if we can double that this time, that will also a long way to showing the World that we have not all rolled over to the Dictator :thumbup:

Instead of all moaning just come and join us v Liverpool " A peaceful demonstration " :thumbup: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Apart from a few though who went on TV against him ie TLG we did roll over because these protests should have been happening at the announcment not appealing for calm.

If everyone is honest with themselves we had 3 years of being so close and heartbreak and with the Jacks already up in the PL we wanted a piece of it.

Wether you did personally or not this forum did i couldcprobably dig up the threads if i wanted to.
Im guilty of going with it myself this is not a personal dig at anyone I just find it all a bit lame appealing to protest now its 2 years too late.
