' Letter campaign to Tan / CCS for Blue? '

Sat May 31, 2014 10:45 am

Posted this on the other board, but Just wondering what people would think about organising a letter writing campaign, direct to vincent tan via the CCS abiut the return to blue.




To be honest, any "come late" / stay away from games will not appeal to me as i bought a season ticket - TO WATCH THE GAMES.

However, in the USA fans lobbied TV networks to keep shows like Star Trek on the air - a group of hardcore fans if ever there was one! - what they said was write a letter to the network to show support for the show. CBS at the time recieved THOUSANDS of letters per day and relented.

If the Trust / Echo / CCSC / CCMB messgaeboard / this board all agreed on the content of an open letter to Tan about blue, fans could download it, (photcopy it) sign it and post it directly to the CCS.


They could do it once, or more than once, and even pen thier own on top of it (keeping it clean and respectable of course)and just bombard the CCS with mail until he sees the light.

Its legal, its effecitve, it will REALLY make a point to those at the stadium if they kept recieveing hundreds of letters a day - and it has proven to work in other industries. It also VERY CHEAP to do! 1 1st or 2nd class stamp.

Thoughts?

It's worth doing as part of the larger campaign but needs all the fan groups on board

No one would ever agree on the wording,forget it,just write your own letter.

You seem to be under the impression that Tan cares about what you think. He doesn't. If he did we would be blue now. He's only interested in doing what he wants and his own opinion. All this compromise nonsense is nothing more than exactly that, nonsense. Its to appease fans short term with false hope so that they buy season tickets.

Do you know him personally? Remember there is more than one person on the board it's not just Vincent tan, others would have been pro red also! :thumbup:

Most of those "pro-reds" on the board are not pro-red because they want Cardiff to be red no....all they are interested in is securing their investments. Putting it bluntly they are the sellouts.

Stop talking sense online fella. You know its not allowed. One day the truth will all come out as the financial bubble will burst either sooner or later. Not putting a single penny more into the club whilst Tan is there. He's done nothing more than help destroy this club.

Just wandering would Tan ever see these letters ? Tans arse lickers in the club would dispose of them in an instant.
I do believe everything we do needs to be done in the ground. And the biggest one we could ever do is keep his brand new red stand empty. A visual one which he would see for the whole 90 mins but hey City fans not savvy enough for that.

I don't call people sell outs personally but I think the people who do throw the term around consider "Sell outs" to be fans that dont want to fight for our identity and like to back Tan at any given opportunity.

Regarding the OP I think it's a good idea, something I definitely support. :thumbright: :bluescarf:

COMPROMISE i suggest you look the word up the mans putting in red seats wakey wakey, he has been saying he will communicate with fans & groups ect for two years but send his minions to answer questions they can not answer to start with, just read the minutes from meetings you get " Thats something tan will have to answer or i dont know " answers :laughing6:
