The Supporters Club have this evening been represented at a hastily convened meeting at Cardiff City Stadium, also attended by members of the Cardiff City Supporters Trust and reps from Cardiff's independent travel groups and messageboards. In attendance from the football club were Alan Whiteley, Julian Jenkins, Wayne Nash and Barry Macauliffe.



The meeting was called following internet rumours regarding a re-branding of the club which appeared over the last 24 hours and the following details were confirmed:



Cardiff City's home kit next season will be red shirts with a black flash, black shorts and red socks
The new badge incorporates a red dragon in a shield, with the words Cardiff City FC, est 1899
The away kit will be blue
The bluebird will not feature on any replica kit or official badge
The seats in the stadium will remain blue
A total investment of £100m by Vincent Tan, as equity not debt. This investment is on the proviso of agreement being reach with Langstone (agreement is very close). The investment will wipe out all debt as well as fund a state of the art training complex, stadium expansion to 35k and an increased playing budget
The club have no plans to offer refunds to the 16,000 season ticket holders who purchased tickets prior to this announcement



The meeting was told that the change to red kit and Welsh dragon badge was non-negotiable and there was no viable alternative for the Board but to accept the proposals as the club could not survive financially without the investment.

The majority of attendees spoke out against the proposals and some stated they would prefer the Malaysian backers to pull out rather than lose our identity and take whatever consequences, however some were happy to accept the change to guarantee the future of Cardiff City.

This is a fundamental change to our football club and now we need to canvass the opinion of our members as soon as possible to gauge the strength of feeling towards these changes, which are being implemented without any consultation of the fans.

Please email your thoughts to info@ccsc.co.uk and include your name and CCSC membership number. We will take all of your views on board and make any decisions based upon your feedback. Remember, this is your football club, so do make sure you let us know your thoughts, good, bad or indifferent.

So the only person who can stop this is Sams Langston consortium :o

Basically its going ahead, no doubt about it. Its a case now of people deciding if they can support a newly branded Cardiff City FC :twisted:

I'm very very unhappy about all this. I cannot see how I can support a Cardiff City I no longer recognise.

The whole change makes no sense whatsover - just the work of a crazy Malaysian dictator in my eyes.

An action plan is required.
