Cardiff City are a blue football club and fans must stand together for our history, heritage and identity.


if your only displeasure is the colour we play in, then this protest is for you.


A football club is nothing without its fans.


http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/foot ... ue-6863356? :ayatollah:

I want the younger fans to know that we are a blue football club and that, should the change back to our traditional colours take years, then we must keep blue as the overriding colour in the stadium until that change comes.

But we could have stayed blue all along, VT was willing to let us play in blue, he just wasn't prepared to put his money in. Oh yer enough fans kicked up a stink, we're willing to accept the rebrand for the money and now he's splashed the cash they want the blue back. Only at Cardiff City, you just couldn't make it up.

Totally agree!
We must never give up.
Our younger fans, old fans, other teams fans and the media must not be allowed to forget that we are a blue club.

never give up,, i think we cardiff fans have been too slow in raising the steaks with mr tan and its now or never to have the club returned to blue , which i suspect will only happen when tan leaves,, so we know what our mission is TAN OUT
i will be joining march tomorrow for our colours and true identity the bluebirds................
cardiff city will always be blue.... hopefully not too long before we return to our rightful colours... shame indeed mr tan has not listened to us fans and created a meaningful partnership, which has been his biggest failure,,,,,,,,,

He can be arrigant , he can be undermining, he can not listen , he can be dictertorial he can pretend also pretend that 90% support him , but this approach will not succeed and the sooner he leaves the better, eventhough i suspect it will mean lower league football, but we can return with a improved infrastructure to the club we all love.....

That's why I won't be marching. Despite pleas to make it Blue only it's defo going down the anti Tan line and that won't get the blue back in my opinion.

Heritage and history - we lost that when we moved to legoland. Alot of fans I speak to are quitting next season, because they're bored shitless in that ugly piece of crap we now call home.

I agree that stadium is awful, it seems to absorb all the noise instead of bouncing it off the stands. are all modern stadium like that? When building, It wouldn't cost much more to employ an architect with acoustics in mind seeing as it's with us for 5o years or so. I fear the only way to save that place is a huge standing terrace behind one of the goals and ofcourse a shirt that the fans actually know and love.

WTF Borley and all the PR clowns were talking about with all that state of the art crap - anyone who'd been to Derby or the Ricoh could smell the impending disaster.

You're right tho' chief, two ends need to be demolished, and big terraces put in.

The Jacks have a new stadium and are loud and intimidating when we play there. It's got nothing to do with acoustics - our 'singing' fans from Ninian Park are spread out over the Canton / Ninian / Family stands and very rarely get a decent chant going.

A return to safe standing areas is what we need - right next to the away crowd. It'll never happen but it's what we need

Too little too late! Love the fact that now it looks like we ar going down everyone is getting together to protest about our change of colour and identity and when we were top of the championship not a word was said.it should of been done a long time ago!
