Thinking of Boycotting

Next few games and then see how that makes me feel, if I still feel as frustrated, annoyed and embarrassed about the Malaysians running of our club, then I am finally getting rid of my season ticket after threatening numerous times to do since the day the rebrand was official. Most of my gang of mates have stopped, my passion has wavered in the last 2 years big time, sick of being in the news for the wrong reasons, and sick of red at CCS, and sick of Tans decision making and ignorance and zero dialogue towards us fans. Ole and Slade have been the final straw, even if Slade wins over and succeeds, it's just not the same any more, I don't want to sit in that stadium again until we are once again playing in blue. Though come next home match, my love for our club might still drag me reluctantly to the game. We all deserve so much better, I so wish this was not happening to us. Watching CCFC is a massive part of my calendar and planning it with a family, I can't imagine being without it, but I am on the verge, This man has single handedly ripped the heArt and soul out of Cardiff City.

Ditto here brother , nearly fifty years they have been a happy part of my life , but unfortunately no longer

Do it mate, it's the only way to get the club back. Hardest decision I've had to make but it's the only way

If you have a season ticket you'll be with us every league game.

Who do you want ? Or were you happy with Ole ?

Frustrated, annoyed and embarrassed - exactly how I feel mate and to be honest ANYBODY that is a real supporter of this club should feel like we do. As much as I hate tan for what he has done I'm even more pissed off with the people that have embraced the red from day one...not just those that have bought a red shirt, but also those that have passively just accept it - absolute tossers!

As a club and fan base we were stronger when we had 4000 loyal fans that we are now with 16000 arseholes telling tan it's OK to destroy our club.

I haven't been to a game since the day our club died and turned red and will not be returning until someone brings our club back. I've not even brought myself to watch games on tv - it's not Cardiff City.

We have been turned into little more that a Malaysian version of MK Dons playing in Cardiff.

In the short term it will hurt you not going pal, it hurt me, but I do not regret for standing up for my club and what's right for the real fans (not the five minute brigade that have just shown up).

We can live in hope that one day or club will be brought back to us - until then stay strong and stick to your principles as a bluebird!

For f**k sake grow up and support the club f**k the colour or the owner if you was a loyal fan you would support the team regardless who's in charge or what colour they play in remember you are watching cardiff city which hasn't changed

So the rebrand, constant bad press from Tan and doing shit under Ole wasn't enough, but a manager you dislike (even though you know hardly anything about him) is enough to make you boycott?

And don't give the 'this is the final straw' bollocks, as this is nothing compared the above!

He's not my 1st choice, wouldn't be in the top 10, but he deserves a chance and we should get behind him!

People have always stopped going down the city, for all sorts of reasons. First one I can remember is selling Toshack.

Nothing new under the sun. Only difference now is that we have social media to tell each other about it, and call it 'boycotting'.

If you don't like it, just don't go.

Carry on, if that's how you feel, at least the ground will contain one less moaner. Some of our fans are acting like spoilt kids.

Stick with it mate!!

You should have done it before now but no, you wanted to see Cardiff in the PL albeit in Red.You've waited til you were struggling and then reacted.No respect for 'fans' like that.The likes of ELY BOY and Sugarman are the true fans of your club not the fickle (I'll wait til we're shit) lot.Too late now, Tan is in balls deep.

It's because CArdiff City HAS changed that loads of us feel the way we do. I am a loyal supporter, those who know me know I am as passionate on the terraces as they come, I have stuck with the club during these cringeworthy rebranded times while my mates and many many more have jacked it in waiting for the day when City go back to blue and the bluebird badge to return to the club. But it's this naïve inconsiderate ignorant megalomaniac dictator of a chairman that makes my blood boil even more thAn the artificial soulless sell out of the rebrand. Slade might yet surprise many and let's be honest ole without doubt was the worst manager in my lifetime and we have had some buffoons. But the thing is Tan is once again using ourselves as some sort of opportunity for inexperienced and untried level at the top 2 tiers. When that's already failed previously, no lessons learned, now is not the time just like when Solskjaer wAs appointed, no dialogue with the customers the fans. Completely ignores even calls for compromise. That's why I want to boycott, empty seats could be the way to protest the running and direction of our beloved club. I will be 100% behind anyone employed to manage our club, and Slade will deserve that, I just can't stomach another rookie after the last one blew our premier league status and took us down to 17th in the champ. I may feel come next home game that I just cAnt go through with staying away, and get down the City, it's happened many times during the rebrand, such is my devotion to the club that will never die, my patience however, is.

Actually sir, I said from day one that I would rather be blue and do a Portsmouth than red in the prem, and would still welcome that, and yes I did enjoy the football at PL level. But it all felt just not the same, artificial, soulless. but I stick with it and hope for common sense to return. And to Langley, I am not a moaner (much!) on here and certInly not at games, I was still trying to sing out and motivate others to do the same When Norwich got the fourth. Just using a football discussion forum to spout off my feelings. As I said Slade will get my 100% and will get welcomed by me if I decide to go next game, as someone earlier said, fickle is a word aimed at stay aways, it means not constant in your loyalty or affections. Yep, my loyalty is being tested my affection will never wane,

Tangledupinblue, Bluebird_27, Elyboy, Philstantshoot2kill.

There are many more who feel and say what you have said, me too boys.

I don't think some understand where we are coming from when we say how we feel on here.

We are all 100% Bluebirds and will always be Bluebirds boys.

I and many others have written on here many times about my feelings for what Tan has single handedly done to our great club and great supporters - we are a laughing stock. BLUEBIRDS PLAYING IN RED WITH A MICKEY MOUSE BADGE - with an owner who through arrogance and/or South East Asian superstition, Wont listen or back down or be seen to loose face.

Been a city supporter since my father took me down Ninian to my first game at the age of 8 in 1969 - always proud to wear the blue scarf and bobble hat , then through the good and many, many bad football years, but we always stuck together in blue, even on those damp rain sodden evenings with pie and Bovril.

You know when we were in supposed meltdown before Tan took over, a few voiced no opposition to the red and badge But I would say the majority of us accepted it with great reluctance as we were told there was no other way forward for CCFC.

As for those on here slagging people off and calling them bad supporters or trouble makers (I don't include those who verbally abused the staff at games) for voicing their opinion on the dire situation at our great club - what gives you the right to do that to genuine people who only have the future direction of the club at heart (notwithstanding that we all have an equal voice here).
That's why Most of us come on here, to say how we feel and make suggestions and constructive criticisms.

As most, I think the appointment of Slade is the wrong one, but I will carry on and support our fantastic club and the majority of our brilliant supporters.

Just saying how I feel (but do not agree with boycotting).

Blooobirds Forever !!!

Just do away games it's much better. The fans don't moan as much and it's a better laugh. More of a chore going to home games these days

Winding up orders
Ticket scams
Most banning orders in the UK
Move from Ninian Park
Shit badge
red shirts

but you don't like the new manager who you never heard of a week ago.....

Rubbish.

True fans support their club whatever. They don't pick and choose because things happen they don't like.

The true fans were there yesterday - 1500 of us singing our hearts out for the club and they will be there Tuesday and Saturday too, supporting WHOEVER is manager of the club.

Haha. You are a cracker. I support Cardiff no matter what. They are my team. Wait til they're shit? We are not even a tenth as bad as we were 20 years ago.

This.
My favourite players in the past have been leyton maxwell, John Robinson and Richard carpenter and don't start me on Jon schwinkendorf and Jason Byrne, when we were shit!? Yep was there and kind of loved it!!! My boycott feeling was an initial reaction to Slade after being so hopeful on Pulis and more importantly that there would not be another inexperienced at higher level appointment. I have since read into Slade since starting this thread and I like a lot about what I read and was wrong to pre judge, I still feel it's the wrong choice and as usual hope to be proved wrong , and now feel maybe I should be there to welcome him to City, will I grit my teeth and turn up next game? Or stay away for a few games? It's irrelevant, if your not enjoying something don't do it? My club upsets me constantly since the rebrand, based on that emotion the important thing is from a fans perspective Is that I am very much in the majority.

I was in the same boat as you yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised by what i read.

I am strangely detached from the club at the moment. I go down because my daughter loves it and it gives us quality time together. Amazed how simple it is not to buy a programme, a drink or go into the club shop. 1 transaction a year with the club (season ticket) as i buy the away tickets through ccsc.

Took the plunge this season after 21 years for me and my family.
Still see the sellouts with their red scarves on that match. That was the end for me. They showed Tan how the red seats would look and then he showed them. All for a free scarf.
Lee.

I follow Cardiff and wales home and away. I hate this rebrand bollox and everything else associated with our club. I miss Ninian park. But at the end of the day, once a bluebird always a bluebird. Ive followed my team over 30 years and I ain't stopping now.

We are not the Bluebirds anymore. Stop kidding yourselves, to make it feel better! It's not modern football that's ruined the club it's that man tan and all you closet sheep! The players could not care less about the club as long as their bank accounts are healthy. Too many have sat back and let it happen ! Big respect to the fans who have called it a day! It's the only way to get the message across!

Cant argue with this, its been my feelings all along. The rebrand should have been the tipping point for any real fan with an aversion to boycotting. Those that boycott at other silly little things are just using it as an excuse.

If we were top with 100% winning record this subject wouldnt even be here and if football fans boycotted everytime a manager a fan didnt want was linked to the club then the terraces would be empty across the UK.

Im not one to boycott, never have been not only is it my passion but also entertainment and always find it entertaining in some capacity even if we lose and are rubbish. But if i felt like boycotting was annoption for me then id have done it instantly. I find these threads a bit cringeable. Why renew in the first place as nothing has changed from last year other than an underperforming manager has been sacked.

The Premier league dream took hold of most fans and so did the need to keep up with the Jacks - we asked for this, we must live with it.

Feck it, I'll be there with my little pick and shovel for two massive home games this week, as usual, singing for blue, getting behind the team. Once again , I Can't stay away even when I say I am going too, I just can't, it's in me. I despise the rebrand, despise the way Tan refuses to compromise or enter dialogue with the fans, mourn Ninian Parks passing, I hate the way it doesn't look or feel like my Cardiff City, and ultimately because of that, any other issues that come up that I disagree with, like being told the job was Slades, I feel ready to pounce on and tell myself it's time to stay away!!!! some fans like the afformentioned Sugarman get respect for staying away from day one of the rebrand, while I don't get any for fighting my feelings and opinions and staying loyal to the club funny that. Even if I have felt many, many times to rip up my season ticket or boycott, well I haven't. Though once again there's that awful feeling of cringing at the thought of another inexperienced manager being appointed. And leading us the wrong way down the division. Once again as I had with Ole , hope I am wrong if it is Slade, most managers in all four divisions would do a better job than Tans last appointment, the likeable Norwegian was simply erratic and baffling.

Hope you got the attention you were looking for

Carry on, if that's how you feel, at least the ground will contain one less moaner. Some of our fans are acting like spoilt kids.

Some of our fans have every right.Tan is a nutter.A crackpot.I am pissed off with it.But its not just about going down the City for me.Not living in Cardiff anymore'its about seeing my old friends that i would also miss.Its a social thing.So i do the protests and the marches.After 54 seasons'it would be a massive change to my life.Tan wont be here for much longer.He is not just a laughing stock over here.His opponents and enemies at home are also laughing.They see that he can be a failure after all his hype.He has failed massively with Cardiff City.He has lost the Midas touch'and in so doing has started his own demise. Sell up and p/ss off TAN.

Disagree. For me, the "true fans" of the club are the ones who support the club through the good AND bad times..

Secondly, I find it rich that any Swansea fan would bang on about boycotting against an owner, when Swansea fans themselves didn't boycott when Petty was around.

In fairness - I watched their movie the other day. Petty, of whom I knew little about before hand, was quite clear in saying that it was the Swansea fans that made him leave and he even had his car bricked. I think they made their feelings known in other ways. Petty wasnt taking over with the long term in mind either so a boycott would have been useless, come seasons end that club would have been no more they had to be pro active. Fair play to them, it worked.

As for us, 80% of our attendance is ST holders. It would be pointless, he would still get the bulk of the cash.
