We need tans money and be careful what you wish for as we might end up with no club.

It's a ridiculous statement because if we go into liquidation a new club will form. AFC Wimbledon (a small town) now have planning permission for a new stadium and look likely to go up into league 1 this season.

My point being if a small town can do it why can't a Capital City? In fact I would say an AFC Cardiff would attract outside investment because massive profit could be made.

Just a thought #nobluenorenew

It's not as simple to just end it and start again, if you were a genius in your thoughts surely this would happen all the time!!

Our stadium now holds 33000 and would have to close if the club folded maintenance must cost a couple of million a year so a newly formed club would have to start somewhere else it is possible to start again other clubs have proved that but it would be a long hard slog with a lot of hard work and a United fan base all mucking in for the cause.

I honestly couldn't see a problem with us letting us back in. There are already welsh teams in league and we would only be taking our own place back. The FA would be hounded by the media if they never supported us getting our club back

ok let's give it a go...oops, didn't work out did it, never mind, sounded good in our heads and hearts, but whatever, at least we're playing in blue...in Pontcanna fields.

My avatar should tell everyone what my views on shirt colour are - blue and white for me (yellow is a rebrand from the '70s)- but boys, sometimes I do wonder if some of us take any thought into what we are typing on here :oops:

Perhaps I need to get back on the Bow - everything will make more sense then :lol: :ayatollah: :thumbup:

Good question that Wez.

I would say it would be down to how it is organized. I would be confident that CCS stadium would be the venue for the new born club. It will be fairly empty but its possible, look at Milton Keynes or if the supporters remain Glasgow Rangers. Totally depends on what business case is put forward.

I agree with corky that the ccs would be too big ,the problem is that us Cardiff city fans have never been able to agree with anything over the years ,it would have to be organized well or it just wouldn't work

Corky, the way I have felt the last 3 years,I'm not so sure thats a bad idea after all. I am so fed up and broken by the Regime of our club,I just dont enjoy it anymore. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Wez, Ive seen worse football than this,way worse than this,but our fans were passionate,our club was close and we all cared,its hurting going there nowadays,in 43 years Ive seen terrible times,but not a broken club like we are today.

Funnily enough, I am sick of listening to "supporters" like you. I have never read so much twaddle in my life.

We can't even become united as a group of supporters on something like our colour. How on earth do you expect us to start a new club...

Re: Sick of the people who say......

Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:34 pm

We would start in the 9th tier. So you would know before we started if we are allowed to join the English pyramid again. Is that right?

That is how other clubs have started

it's probably more like 100% blue but a large percentage went along with red for the money but tan hasn't converted which is starting to piss some off including me

Why do people have this delusional assumption that creating a new club is piece of piss?

Re: Sick of the people who say......

This is a totally different scenario to AFC Wimbledon and i know that I will not be able to support AFC Cardiff. This is my club and i want it back how it was so that i can fall deeply in love again...sounds romantic and pathetic but thats how i feel.
