http://keepcardiffblue.co.uk/wp/?p=95“You can have any colour you like, as long as it’s red!”
You couldn’t help think of the old Henry Ford quote when the club sent out last week’s laughable pretence at supporter consultation that was their survey. Clearly an empty PR move given their refusal to engage with supporters ahead of destroying the club’s century long identity, it’s about as successful as putting a bandage on a severed leg.
Work your way through all the waffle about what photos you want deep in the concourse of the stadium out of the view of the pitch and if you want a brass section to go with that gawdaful drum and go to the only question that really means anything;
Section 3: Future Kit Development: This section will follow at a later date and will be design driven. We will work on a number of kits with Puma, working within set paramaters from which supporters will get to vote on the 2013/14 Cardiff City kit, based on red home and blue away. “
There it is, yet again the club’s message when it comes to the vital issues is “You get what Vincent Tan tells you”, the “paramaters” (we’ve left the spelling mistakes made by the club’s high-flying commercial team in, btw) are still defined by this clumsy, insulting rebrand forced on us on the whim of someone with no feeling for football or Cardiff itself.
But don’t worry, we get the chance to say what kind of dragon we want on the badge? Isn’t that good of them? We can even vote to keep the miniscule bluebird currently on the tragic new badge. Aren’t we lucky to be allowed such a say in our…sorry, it isn’t any more is it… in
VINCENT TAN’S club (and don’t you forget it).
So we look forward to the “working group” being “randomly selected” (yeah right, we’re sure a wide spectrum of supporters views will be represented) to make the hugely important decisions regarding the club like what colour toilet paper is provided. Meanwhile the real important visible issues regarding the club are solely the domain of one man and his subservient board.
There’s only one question that matters and, if the club ever actually asked it, they’d get one response;
KEEP CARDIFF BLUE!
