If any Portsmouth or rangers supporters were looking at this board with arguments over what colour our club should play in next season, would be probably knocking their heads against a brick wall.

Surely we need to all settle down and see the plans before shouting the odds??

At least we know we will be kicking off the season in August. There are a few clubs who wish they could say the same.

All I'm saying is let's just be mindful of this.

I will support and follow my club until the day I die regardless what colour we play in, what we are called and who is in charge. To me we are now and always will be cardiff city and I for one will always be proud of this.

Exactly, we need to be careful of what we wish for.

It's more than just a colour, it's our nickname and emblem.
All sold down the river to a liar who obviously cares nothing about the supporters, our city or our country.

Slippery slope if this happens.

Any of you really think this will be the end of the changes?

I guess this is how every one of you will feel eventually but in the meantime you're all well within your rights to push the panic button.

Lets be honest though its this or the League of Wales as a new club.

with 70m of debt we would have no chance of coming out of admin, it would be liquidations unless another billionnaire comes in which just wont happen.

If they started an FC Cardiff I cant see them being allowed in the English system, so its to the LOW.

Very sad state of affairs indeed

we should wait the 2 weeks that Carl mentioned BUT i feel that they have taken this way too far. Too many EXTREME changes which have upset a lot of fans which may not be attending next season or seasons to come.
i don't want to judge to quickly because it may not go through, but i'm already wondering what i will do IF it goes ahead.

Neither has an identity similar to the bluebirds. Changing the colour of their kit would make no difference as they would still be "Pompey" and "Gers" respectively.

Re: i may get slammed for this but.....

Tue May 08, 2012 9:33 pm

I agree.. we have no option to support this, otherwise we wouldnt cope with the massive amount of debt

Its painful to see Cardiff's blue tradition go.. but for the sake of the club going forward, its a decision we will all have to accept

With you on this one mate. Glad to have CCFC still alive. People will soon change their tune when the £££'s get pumped in on new signings.

I understand your point and we all want the investment but I think they have gone a bit extreme with this idea and i'd say 90% of fans are against it. there has to be some ideas put forward by us fans. because a complete change is ridiculous

Spot on, Vincent is in charge and parting with HIS well earned cash to keep us afloat. Not happy but I think this post is spot on.

Cardiff City, 100m investment 35k stadium, new players, top class football, Wales on the map. Let's not forget that the dragon and the red top means a lot to us welsh guys as well!!! It could have been worse we could have played in white...

Face it,it could have been any colour.You're at the mercy of an Asian businessman and if his favourite colour was purple then that's what you'd be.

Re: i may get slammed for this but.....

Tue May 08, 2012 9:45 pm

Is it any worse than our away kit being White? Does the colour White remind you of any other team?

Remember we were called riverside....and have you seen what colour we used to be then?
