A forum for all things Cardiff City

It's getting to the point where I cant even bare to look at cardiff anymore, and i'd genuinely rather credibility over wins and playing in the championship. When are people going to wake up and realise that the only way we're going to be taken serious off the field is if we start playing hardball and staging walk outs or better still ; Boycotts?
You needn't reply to this thread if your answers going to be "I want to see cardiff in the highest league because i've done my time in division 3/4". This kind of response is whats holding the club back.

A mass boycott was needed when it was announced but the vast majority accepted it.
Boycotting now would make us look like sad bitter losers having a moan now things aint going right.

Agree. If we boycott now then its clearly not for the right reasons. The time for boycotting has passed years ago, the ones that felt that strongly did. It seems whenever results arent going well we start getting murmurings of protests and boycotts which given the reason, shouldn't be results based.

Correct Luke, it should of been done nearly 3 yrs ago,but money talked and false glory,so our numbers were always going to be low,we discussed it at meetings.

But things aren't right, and they're not gunna get better by sitting by and doing nothing. I feel like we have two options :
1.) Make a stand by boycotting
2.) Let tan carry on, be obedient and watch him throw the club in the gutter when he's had enough in a few seasons time if we dont get promoted this year
I think redemption will only come with admission of us fans not doing what we should have and holding our hands up. After that, that's when we can start getting the ball rolling with protests, boycotts etc

Tan will have a reality shock next years when renewals for season tickets will be dramatically down. Fans are fed up of overpriced tickets.
I will still be going to watch Cardiff but not for the football anymore but my pre match drink in Canton.

You are right that it should have been done earlier but we can't go back now. Running this forum and being well known gives u the power to arrange a boycott. Build it up from now for a January game. Plenty of time for the message to spread. This is an important season to tan but then our colours were important to us. What goes around comes around. Let's do it.

No because our fans want to see every single minute of football they've paid for, even if it's just for one game.
And people can say about how it should have been done ages ago but there were many who said they wouldn't want a refund for their season ticket that tear, they would just carry on for that year and that was it. However when we got promoted they all forgot about that

The answer is no.
With lots of work & advertising etc. there may be a hundred or two willing to do it but who will even organise it? You?
It's needs thousands to do preferably when the match is televised.
It'll never happen.

I was hoping by mentioning it maybe Annis would take the reigns as he has a good contact list of influential fans and supporters groups.
I genuinely find it alarming how so many people's attitudes are so apathetic. At times its soul crushing. That may sound melodramatic but I genuinely feel like i'd rather save a bit of money and go watch merthyr in tier 8 play (which i did saturday before last).

I respect your feelings over this but Annis will never take this on IMO.
I can never remember anything like this happening in British football in the past to any extent.
Like I say, it would take half the stadium to not attend/walk out to make anyone stand up & take notice & that will never happen.
Tan would probably just laugh to himself!

I agree that we're about 3 years too late for a boycott. It should have been done when the rebrand was happening but people (not everybody, but enough) shut up and saw Tan's money and the Premiership and they wanted that over our history.
Yes, Tan disrespected our traditions, and that's bad... but it's the majority of the fans who "believed" in those traditions who gladly sold them for the top flight who should really be ashamed.
I'm all for protesting, and keeping the Blue drum sounding... but I really do think a boycott is too late. Everybody keeps saying we're the laughing stock (we're not) but imagine what we'd be seen like by other fans if we did that now...
Oh. Cardiff fans are all boycotting because of their rebrand
Really? didn't the rebrand happen years ago?
Well, yeah. but they were winning then...

Years ago fans would have come in to the pitch to protest, a game on TV would have been the one as it would have more attention. In some ways it's a shame this doesn't happen as it would surely have some affect. A peaceful protest, even that's not allowed these days. 5 year ban now is it? The fans who would have dared and cared aren't there anymore so I guess the silent sufferation just goes on....
