According to the recent survey 85% are against the rebrand,so you then have fans who want tan out believing this one eyed survey to promote their protest on Saturday.Now Imo they've successfully painted themselves into a corner because going by the survey we should see about 20,000 on the march :lol:.

Lets get back to the real world ,If there's not more than 5,000 20% on this protest then you can't deny it's a failure especially with all the publicity surrounding it.

I reckon over 3,000 will march and to me that is good as many people in society moan but never do anything about.

What an incoherent mess, I can't see the logic in hardly any of it. The only thing shinning through is your hatred of this march for blue pride ;)

I thought about 5'000 at the main entrance, Annis is closer to it and says 3'000, to me that's a little disappointing but still not bad.

I won't be going as I've finished my traumatic breaking-up process with the club after the poor attendance of the Man City march, i won't ever be going back, our fans are pony.

I'm saying at least 3,000, but would like to see of course 5,000 and thats what could be at the main entrance :thumbup:

what is it that makes this survey "one eyed"? it was a decent sample size and asked a simple question...could you please eleborate?

5k would be amazing as its such a significant portion of our fan base but honestly i really can't see it being that many. 2k tops IMO...hope im wrong

It wasn't me or those on the BU who gave up............even if you get back the colour, when the team does well you'll be in a stadium singing grand songs about how great CCFC is.......90 percent of those singing don't really give a f*ck and proved it when pushed. I'm not saying people had to storm the pitch or kick down the chairman's door, just simply turn up and keep the clubs culture alive by marching for your colours. I hate to say this but 1,000 turnout is shameful, Burn;ley would do better.....

No one can ever tell how many have marched unless your all given a number like running a marathon :lol:

so are you saying "hardly anyone will turn up...its shameful...thats why im making it one less by not turning up"?

you're sayin people arent doing anything and using it as an excuse not do do anything yourself. its obviously up to you what you do but mass apathy is hardly an excuse

I admire your passion and wish you success in having something you believe in, we are in a time where people believe in very little, other than shopping for themselves, what I'm saying is that the victory isn't worth winning, the war is over. Tan hasn't exactly won but CCFC have definitely lost. This event will scar our reputation forever & more importantly, it will scar how we see ourselves, nobody can truly say we are a great club, our hardcore can match most but as a whole our fanbase is a joke.

Great Idea, turn it into a fun run and gret charitable status.


I was thinking that it's more like a pub crawl than a *march*, nobody will be marching, unless there's a few ex-squaddies with a Rambo complex, so why not move the finish line to the Sand Martin and call it by it's real name..... *A football lads pub crawl*. 10,000 turn-out minimum

i get what you're saying but i think if we do get the blue back/tan out this will be little more than a crazy story we tell our grandkids about "those crazy few seasons we played in red"

and re: what you said about our hardcore...i think its the same for most clubs, only about 20% would stay if we plummeted down the leagues, same with almost all other PL teams IMO

Bluebirds Unite managed around 1200 for one march, so we should get at least 2000 for this one. I am hoping it will be closer to the 4000 mark though as the starting location at the Napier will allow fans drinking in Canton to make a spur of the moment decision to join and this will boost numbers. Previous marches from BU starting at the castle put a lot of fans off, myself included. The Napier is a good meeting location and we will pick up more fans along the way walking to the stadium. Let's be honest, if we fail to get 2000, we deserve everything we get from Tan. Are we going to put in an effort, or are we going to continually do nothing and allow Tan to continue destroying our club? It's up to us!

All the best to you, I respect each and every one walking from the Napier. BECAUSE THE NAPIER IS SHITHOLE.

I hope my posts havn't come across negative towards true bluebirds, just for me, it's been and gone i have nearly moved on.

Are you really so naive as to think only the attendees of the march are the only objectors ? There are many who dont want confrontation, unable to walk far, disabled, elderly, or do you imagine they are all opposed?..............................tw*t

Two thousand on the march and about 4 thousand outside the entrance doors, some wont want to march but will be quite happy to protest outside the stadium, nothing wrong with that :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

IMO, About 800-1000 will "March" then there will be a lot of people, just like last time, watching from a distance at the 1,000 or so chanting at the reception area.....
