Use the new stand to our advantage.

Wed May 21, 2014 8:26 pm

Tans scarf gate was a massive own goal. We can also use the new stand the same way. Just leave the stand empty it will constantly be known as the white elephant, it will be embarrassing for Tan. It takes City fans a while to work out how to turn something to our advantage but it's simple really. Saying they will cover those seats is a cop out.
Boycott the stand and let it be a constant reminder of his failed re branding bull shit.

good idea, but considering people have already bought season tickets in the new stand before the seat colour was confirmed (but lets be honest, it was always going to be red), it sadly wont happen!

I agree Nukes, lets leave it empty as Nash told me this section of the New stand means a lot to Tan. :thumbup: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

people don't want to go through the hassle of ringing the stadium up, swapping over seats, extra payments bla bla bla... club knew what they were doing by not telling people the seat colour so people would buy the seats up there!

They will still sell even if the club said there was going to be red seats. It's a new thing and fans would want to see what it's like in the concourse and view ect.

If we are winning matches and are near the top of the league people won't give a f**k about colour of the seats just like no one really cared the season we went up

Yes agree we all knew what the colour of the new seats would be. Even those going up there. If we want our identity back we need to be more savvy and clever. Turn this new stand against him simples and it doesn't stop anyone from supporting the team. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Sadly Ralph he is partly correct. Success will cloud many and it has done in the past. To get our fans to really turn we need to sadly struggle :( :(

Give it up nuclear your starting to embarrass yourself now,only a tiny childish minority care about the colour of a seat ffs.

What a lot of nonsense.

I am blue through and through having supported City since 1968 and have been a ST ticket holder for many years. What on earth has the colour of a bit of plastic got to do with Cardiff City? I do not agree with the rebrand or the change in shirt colours/ badge etc however how far do you take it. ( never use or wear anything red ever again?)

We moved from another part of the stadium to get a better view not knowing at the time what the seat colours would be. Why would anyone decide to choose to sit in the corner of the ground rather than on the half way line with a great view? Because of the colour of a bit of plastic. I am against the rebrand and I am totally blue but where do you draw the line?

Surely what is more important is to wear your blue, support the TEAM and enjoy your good view! Never mind about a bit of plastic.

Red or dead you love your red so bollocks.
Bridgend bluebird he is steamrolling us and it's another step in his re brand shit. We need to hit this guy where it hurts and this new stand is his red pride and joy. You get an excellent view in the Ninian as it stands. But hey everyone has the right to do as they please and sit or stand where they want but don't moan when you look down from your excellent view and complain that it isn't your club any more. To you it's just red seats to Tan it's another step forward in his rebranding you say you hate :(

What on earth are you on about? I am blue through and through. Just grow up. Either support the team or if you do not agree with the rebrand stay away from the stadium. Where do you draw the line? Never use a red item of clothing again, a red pen, a red cup. We oppose the colour/ badge change bur how can be anyone be in the wrong for wanting to sit in a decent seat with a great view NOT knowing what colour seats would be in place? What's more important is to wear your blue and support the team.

Re: Use the new stand to our advantage.

Wed May 21, 2014 9:30 pm

We soon filled the stadium out when we were looking good for promotion last time around,....."rebrand an all" same will happen next season if we are looking good for promotion. Success brings crowds. If we are struggling, then you may see your empty stand. Its just the way it is

Don't give me you didn't know the colour would be red you can't be that naive Chief. Yes I agree wear the blue and support the team but the screw needs to be turned other wise get used to the red. Now is the time to stand or let the blue fade into the history books :(

But this is the whole divide, fans who attend get jumped on for either sitting in the wrong seats, or the pro blues believe they are better than any other fans.... Why can't fans be allowed to simple watch the game we love?? It's not hard is it?.

It's a game I'm slowly falling out of love with. A season in the Prem that was ruined because it wasn't my club out there. Sorry chief that's the way I feel.

What a load of Bollocks, what next Blue Gestapo Police strip searching you before you go in to see if you are wearing red bundies, f**k that, personally I am getting pissed off With the shit about red or blue, I just want a successful football club, and compared to what we were sixty years ago, whether some of you like it or not we have had a hick up, but we are successful, and I for one hope to see us go back up this year, by the way If I am the only one in my red seat, that's because everyone else has given in to intimidation, but I don't think that will happen, because most fans just want to see a game of football.
Most people in this City of ours are for Tan, and don't give a rats arse about the colour of a piece of cloth or a pretty little badge.
