The protest plans for Jan and Feb are way too polite

Thu Dec 25, 2014 9:40 pm

Respect to those who've put the time & effort into organising the protests in Jan & Feb but they are way too polite.

It's pretty clear that Tan regards supporters with utter disdain. Fans need to fight back with real venom. My personal opinion is that it's always better to die standing up than live stumbling around. It's pretty clear that he is incredibly vindictive. City fans may as well do their worst.

Boycotts should be an absolute given. You are certainly not being disloyal by boycotting - quite the opposite in fact. imo, you are being really loyal to the authentic Cardiff City.

Additionally, the real threat of match disruption also needs to cone into play. It's the ultimate form of direct action but if properly executed would create worldwide headlines and huge embarrassment to Tan.

There is a long term plan in place. Only the first 2 events have been announced so far, rest assured that if there is no positive response to the "polite" events, it goes up a gear and there's a lot more to follow ;) :bluescarf:

I agree he has to go. Also agree that a march through canton and scarfs at 19:27 are not effective enough.

if you boycott now, you are a hypocrite.

if you plan to boycott supposedly because of the red, why didnt you boycott when we first changed to red? were you happy to pay to watch us in the premier league in red? any fan who boycotts now is basically only doing so because of the poor football post relegation and high prices, with the rebrand only being a contributing factor.

With a handful of others, I'm one of the few who boycotted since May 2012. That said, people all reach tipping points at different times. Personally, I've no time for anyone packing it in "cos the footballs a bit shit" but i'm prepared to give benefit of doubt to those who genuinely hate what the club now is. Results on the pitch should ALWAYS have been secondary, that's why I've not wanted the franchise to win so much as a throw in for the past two and a half years.

well i have alot of respect for you for sticking to you principles, and i hope you get to return to seeing CCFC in blue soon enough my friend :ayatollah:

the rest, i disagree with you. would those same fans have reached tipping point had we survived and were mid table in the PL? of course not. they are hypocrites.

Agree with Alfie and as Tan has already said today that he's not changing back, I look forward to more a more radical plan action.

Think you need to take a step back and think about the whole situation.

Tan has failed to deliver. The main deliverable was debt to equity. That is enough to justify a boycott.

The real world and the 1927 waving scarves has shown the real world what we want.

As you are so much into the :roll: what are your ideas? Anyone can criticise in this real world.

Yeah this is exactly my thoughts. Apparently there's more aggressive tactics to come but what are we waiting for? We've already marched and we've already done the blue. Again my full support given but I'm ready for more

somehow i doubt people are boycotting over tan not converting debt to equity. the issue itself it does justify a boycott i agree, but why now as opposed to a year ago? a year is plenty of time to convert the debt to equity and tan hadn't done it in time for the 2013-14 season.

i suppose seeing premier league football then was more important than boycotting over tan not converting debt to equity. and now that we're in the championship the football isn't entertaining enough so the boycott is back on, that seems to be the rationale.

Actually it is the right time for a boycott against the none existence of debt to equity as these things take a lot longer than most appreciate. However this is not the real reason why boycotting is on the menu now. I agree with your rationale.
