GREAT COMMENT FROM THE OTHER BOARD!!!

Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:59 am

I was born blind and so colour is not the reason I have supported the city for 42yrs. It's the the noise, the smells, the crack the my mates. In forty two years my heart still flutters as the boys come out of the tunnel. funny thing, my local pub was painted with a different colour last month, and the beer still tastes the same?

Should be placed on the front pages of the echo and billboards and buses. Some people really need to get a life and think straight instead of themselves.

There are still issues to be concerned about but the direction of travel is forward not backwards.

Most sense I've read on this board for ages in relation to the changes.

That would be amazing, especially if he genuinely thought we played in yellow and for all these years none of you lads actually told him otherwise! :)

If he's reading these replies, then I'll Stick my neck out and say he's full of shit!

But, in all seriousness, it's a good and very simple point to make for everyone to understand and attempt to empathise with.

If anything, the match day experience has improved for many of the previous few years moving to the new ground. Hopefully with the plans to promote our history more throughout a 100% Cardiff City FC stadium, and the promise of squad improvements, the match day experience shall be improved this season too.

Seem to be quite a few people blind here. Not least about being fxxxed up the axxx!

Hope you enjoy the merger with the Jacks when it arrives. And £70 tickets or home matches in Malaysia.

No disrespect but this arguement holds no water. If a person cant see does that mean it makes no odds if the side plays in pink dresses? Im glad the gentleman gets great pleasure going down the city and he explains powerfully the senses he uses to enjoy the day, but for a lot of people the team playing in blue evokes equally strong emotions....:
