Is Blue, white and yellow now history?

Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:15 pm

In light of the fact the club has now tweeted a picture of the new stand with its red seats, I see no way back to our original colours anytime in the near future, I think people need to accept the fact that yes, we all want our original colours back, but Tan is not going to allow that to happen, and now the seats are going in I honestly think, that red, in some way will be part of Cardiff City's future in the long term, even if Tan was to leave.

Tan talked about compromise on colour, well I honestly believe what was assumed by many will now become a reality, Tan will propose a red and blue home kit for the 2015/2016 season, I mixture of what he wants and what he see's as a form of compromise to the fans, that being a prominent amount of blue on the kit, which will fit in with the stadiums mixed colours.

Through the Premier League season, I feel the supporters put a reasonable amount of pressure on Tan to go back to Blue for this season, In my opinion this tells me all I need to know, it isnt going to happen.

Personally I feel more dejected with the anomosity between fans than I do about the relegation back to the Championship, I am sick of people trying to force an opinion on the masses, Sometimes I think 'feck it' I'll never stop watching Cardiff CIty, but perhaps it would be easier to avoid this forum, where we get to hear every scrap of rumour, rage and lies about the club we are supposed to love, and just get on with turning up on a matchday with my pals, and my kids and enjoy whats happening down on the pitch without all the petty bickering, arguing and infighting we are forced to swallow by following the club so closely on Social Media and internet forums.

I really want to enjoy the forthcoming season for the football, I dont want the club politics to drag it down for me, and Im sure many fans would agree with that.

I know some fans will say im a 'red' and blah blah blah, well feck it, if avoiding the politics and enjoying the football makes me a red turncoat tw*t, then thats what I am.

Hate red. Hate Tan. Love blue. Love Cardiff City. :thumbup:

Disagree. 6000 red seats means f**k all. Weve pkayed in red with 27,000 blue seats so if we turn back to blue with 27,000 nlue seats and a stand of 6,000 red seats its not as alien as a red shirt.

Can't disagree more Gavin. We do not and will not except the red. Maybe you can, the the vast majority can't and will not. It's time to up the protests ten fold. And definitely by not excepting the red or buying Tans shite merchandise. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Gav you may be "fed up" of the fan fallout but not as "fed up" as I am of the red. I can stomach it no longer. Im out for the forseeable future,

Re: Is Blue, white and yellow is now history?

Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:26 pm

I don't like the seats and wish they were blue but they are the last thing on my mind when thinking about Cardiff city. It took 2 years for any kind of real protest about changing our identify so a few red chairs is hardly going to tip me over the edge. They are to be sat on at the end of the day.

It's laughable Chris all this hate tan bullshit. Just don't go to the games as it's the only protest that counts.

I respect that Polo.
Ive got 2 kids who have got the Cardiff City bug, clearly they now nothing of the rebrand, my oldest boy who is 10 obviously asks me about the chants etc and I explain the basics to him, but I wont let that get in the way of his growing passion for football and CCFC, no chance.

I agree with Nukes Hmmm

Steve, you went to games last season, but said Tan had virtually ruined your club, true or not?

At least we went in BLUE :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

It's borley nukes but I remember what I was like after my first pint. It's tans club and he will do what he wants so as far as I am concerned you buy a ticket and you are supporting the regime . Ten thousand less season tickets this year would seem to back that view up.
And for what it's worth borley would never encourage people to boycott games

Thats fair enough. I got 2 girls who have no interest so I dont have that conundrum. If I had a lad it may be different with regards still attending but I would draw the line at red merchandise kids or not.

Sadly ive come to that conclusion. It will be dificult once season starts but a full boycott is the only way he will ever take notice.

And you were also the man along with me who said you would give it one season in the premiership in a conversation with me and then call it a day if identity wasent restored.
It took a while for it to sink in but dave sugarman and TVB were right from day one

I agree, many times I thought about not going again, but unless there is a 85% stay out, its pointless, but what is hurting Tan the most is the BLUE protests in the ground and your protest next season is finally not going again and not renewing,I respect it totally Steve :thumbright: mine is to continue the BLUE protests in the ground and not just for 20 seconds :bluescarf: and I am so glad we have done this as the Red was taking over and thankfully on the terraces we are winning and its making Tan looker an even bigger Clown, now that does make it worth while :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

If a new owner took over Tan but didn't change us back to Blue, would the fans hate him?

Nukes I hardly speak to steve about the football these days and don't have a clue if he makes anything out of the club these days as he sold his shares to tan as he had agreed along with the likes of PMG.
One things for certain before Sam or tan came along he used to put money in every month to keep the club alive and never took a penny out in consultancy fees etc like other chairmen so he will always have my respect for that.
With regards to the demo's I don't see that holding a scarf aloft for twenty seconds once a game is going to have any effect on tan whatsoever but I respect what people are trying to achieve.
There's nothing wrong with being loyal to friends either nukes. I am the same with steve as annis was with Sam in that if I think something is wrong I will say it
Have a good evening

Fair enough Steve so you can't confirm either way that Mr Borley is making massive money out of CCFC now ? And we are talking many millions. Not denying he put money in years ago just now he is making a mint out of us. To him it's worth the red then ? Hmmmmmm

Re: Is Blue, white and yellow is now history?

Blue white and yellow is in our history...

But it was in our history prior to the rebrand..

I support the club not any particular colour..

I don't like the red, and think of blue when I think of Cardiff..

But What I hate more than the red is the fact our fan base has turned on each other and blamed one another for what is basically one mans decision. People accepted or rejected it for a host of different reasons but they all had the same thinking (they made the decision because they love the club regardless) behind their choice.

Friendships and supporter groups spanning decades have been destroyed in malicious and volatile manner, due to differences of opinions, opinions caused by one mans decision.

I do not hate Tan for some of his business decisions,however I do not understand as to why his greatest weapon at this club he choose to completely ignore and instead of using it to its fullest potential,he turned it upon himself and pulled its trigger.

But supporters "putting reasonable pressure on tan" - i think deep down you all know that isnt true.
