" CARDIFF CITY UPDATE MONDAY JANUARY 12th 2015 "

Around a month or so ago, a thread appeared on this message board stating that there were plans in place for the rebranding of the stadium to go further with the colour red, a company had been instructed to come up with plans for altering the look of the stadium inside the main concourses, the bar areas, changing rooms and corridors of the CCS.

Some may think that it was a load of tosh but I had two conversations at the club before the Fulham match and was told that it was absolutely correct that these plans were in place and work was due to start this month.

Thankfully Vincent Tan listened and stopped the plans going any further.

Another interesting point is that I was also told that the club contacted the Football League some 10 days before the announcement of our return to blue to seek permission to change our home kit mid season and not wait until next season before implementing the changes.

The Football League contacted each Championshio club and all had to agree on the change, which they did, but Fulham and the match referee had to agree for Saturday's game in particular as it was short notice.

With regards to our next badge, I am told that the club is looking through decades of City badges and are intent on having a badge that Cardiff City fans will relate too, there are 5 badges that are being designed and Mehmet Dalman and Ken Choo will present the final badge to Vincent Tan as the badge City fans will want.

This bit is speculation on my part but having been told this, I think there may be a vote to choose from a selection of 5 badges but it is just a guess on my part based on what I have been told.

I was at original meeting when the rebrand was first discussed with 13 fans and we were promised the badge we were shown was a temporary design and the fans would have consultation on the badge the following season but as we know that never happened.

Mehmet Dalman and Ken Choo are mindful of previous failings and have contacted a design agency to incorporate previous elements of our badges and to also include and respect Vincent Tan's culture on the new designs.

The badge we have today was rushed and the powers that be are desperate not to make the same mistake again, they are thinking of fans and really want to get the new designs right.


Season tickets for next season will go on sale in February and the club are hoping to make it just a £25 approximate increase for those who are on the current price freeze. Those fans with season tickets but not on the price freeze will be reduced in line with the new pricing structure.

Any transfer updates?

Good news regarding season ticket prices

All good news there Carl

Looks like season tickets will be a decent price this year then, no excuses for not renewing. Good prices and back in blue

Hope you're right about the badge, all City fans should be involved.

Thanks for keeping us updated

But you need to back up claims with evidence surely? At the bare minimum, some form of research should be undertaken and provided and cited. This is blasphemous.

nice to see all 23 clubs agreed to the change

Well happy with them ticket prices. Lets hope for a nice Blue badge!

nice to see all 23 clubs agreed to the change

When I heard this,it showed Respect and that all the English clubs agreed with us

Blue shirt, prominent bluebird on badge, good ST price... If only our top players weren't being sold, it would be a Carlsberg moment..

You obviously didnt read and inwardly digest what I said? Carl as never says who gives info and 99% of us dont want to know: if you do well go elswhere and get substantiated info?

We are finally getting somewhere the badge situation is what should of happened in the first place we are starting to be run as a football club properly.

A Positive Update

Here is another update
£529 ticket reduced to £429
£399 tcket increased to £429

I have absolutely no doubt that the club had contacted the Football League before the invites to the meeting last week were sent out and that it was the positive response from the FL that triggered this whole process. It's also great to hear that the other Championship clubs accepted the change and didn't try to stop it.

There was gossip that RS had talked to MD after the Watford game about the dynamic within the club asking if VT would consider reversing the re-brand because it was having a massive negative effect on matchday. Is that true because if it is RS deserves a massive thank you.

My FA Cup boycott is over now and looking forward to the Reading game also definately buying my ST now.

Slade is a Top Man.

A Positive Update

Yes, as long as they get rid of the "fire and passion" nonesense.

Mike, I believe they are and I agree with you

Special praise should go to Fulham for agreeing to this too, they knew with us playing in Blue it would lift the fans and create an atmosphere in our favour .. Thank you Fulham and the rest of the league teams .

Replace it with "a house divided against itself cannot stand."

Your right and I believe we would of lost if we had continued as we were and a stadium of fans that had given up.

I agree, and it's nice to know that basicly the football world was behind us. Masssive tap on the back to all us fans who kept
wearing blue and refused to wear the Red...
Ps Annis can you get a tap on the back Smillie

Actually, that is quite something that all the other teams agreed to back the colour change, particularly those fighting relegation, as we were in freefall.

Maybe as we were mid table the teams near the top and near the bottom all thought 'feck it, they're going nowhere anyway'!

It's fate really. If we'd stayed in the Prem, we'd have stayed red and if we were near the top or bottom now, we'd have to wait until next season.

Three cheers for mediocrity and for all our championship rivals!

Hand on heart, I'm glad we were relegated now as this wouldn't have happened otherwise.
