KCB NEWS TAKEN FROM FACE BOOK

Keep Cardiff Blue
Like This Page · 2 hours ago

With City's first League game against Huddersfield on Friday 17th August, all our attention is now focussed on protesting at that game.

Attached you will find poster/flyer/sticker artwork for a pre-game protest planned for 18.45 outside the main entrance to the stadium. We urge all of you who can attend to be present at that protest, even if you are not intending to attend the game itself. Please also print out the artwork and use it in any way you can to publicise the event as widely as possible beforehand. With Sky cameras present we need as large a presence as possible to be gathered at 18.45. If you are able to make and bring a Keep Cardiff Blue banner, so much the better.

We urge everyone to wear Blue to the protest and if attending the game.
Those who have a Blue Malaysia sponsored shirt might consider taping over the sponsor's logo with "Keep Cardiff Blue" to make your point.

If you are entering the stadium following the protest, please try to take a Keep Cardiff Blue banner in with you. If you don't have a banner, please take in with you an A4 Blue card, with Keep Cardiff Blue printed on it, if possible. These banners and cards can be held up in unison when the players enter the field of play at kick off and following half-time.

Because Cardiff City's first choice colour has been Blue since 1908, we have chosen the 8th minute of the game for a one minute, in-game protest. When the clock reaches 8 minutes, please display your banner and/or card and take whatever other protest action you see fit at that moment. We have no desire to damage the image of Cardiff City (the re-branding has contributed so much to that already) so at the pre-game protest and during the game, please conduct yourself with dignity and respect fellow fans. The KCB campaign has always maintained that we will protest in peaceful, non-violent and lawful ways.

The televised Huddersfield game represents a huge opportunity for all of us who cherish Cardiff City's identity to make our feelings about the re-branding abundantly clear to the Club and the media.

PLEASE ATTEND THE PRE-GAME PROTEST IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN AND USE THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY THIS FIXTURE PRESENTS TO DEMONSTRATE OUR DETERMINATION TO KEEP CARDIFF BLUE

As a spokesman for the TMP (Too many plastics) I fully agree with this.

our first league game, and that ain't gonna distract our players is it, and this crap about keeping us blue, they can't keep us blue, we are registered for this season at the very least as a red team, League rules will ensure we can't change this season, so how are we meant to keep blue.

What are they hoping to achieve, other than piss our investors off, what are they hoping above all hopes this achieves.

I see Gwyn finally joined KCB...

I think doing anything during the 90 minutes play time seen as disrupting the players is asking for trouble.

"We have no desire to damage the image of Cardiff City (the re-branding has contributed so much to that already"
Isn't that saying that they're going to do it anyway since it's "already been done" I'm sorry but it hasn't damaged the image at all. I'm fed up of them trying to deface the image of Cardiff City, not only will it give the club a bad image it will give a lot of Cardiff City fans bad image, I hope it's a really small turnout because their views don't match the whole fan base, they only speak as a small minority, I'll be annoyed if some person next to me is waving Blue card or trying to protest while I'm trying to watch the game, protests don't work, NUFC vs Ashley, MUFC vs Glazers and BRFC vs Kean/Venkys.

Doing anything during the game seems very stupid because it will get on the pitch and we all know what happens then,anyone booing and protesting next to me in the 8th min will get a few right hooks, outside i couldnt care less game time everyone should support the team outside do as you please, inside its game time ffs

Doing anything during the game seems very stupid because it will get on the pitch and we all know what happens then

true... if inside the ground i would rather have a protest like 5 mins prior to kickoff, with all banners etc up. to do it during the game doesnt get my approval, b4 the match outside is fine, as long as its respectful, non-violent etc

I said in the first KCB meeting that we shouldnt do anything as soon as the clock starts.......really dont think this is the right thing to do

I get everyones pissed off but we have been given red even though i hate it, this season we can not do anything about it even if im stood there with a keep cardiff blue banner outside the ground it will not change f**k all. I know the club have said they will listen to fan group this season about the badge/colour maybe thats another cock and bullshit sotry, but surely the only way to prove to VT is not buy the shirts then he has to see it was a fail from the word go or do people think booing and chanting KCB will help the players. Seriously protesting inside the ground will get us nowhere it will cause fights kicking off everywhere thats as the team will be playing, I get the outside thing but inside well i want no part in that due to watching us play and getting behind the team like everyone should be.

I said in the first KCB meeting that we shouldnt do anything as soon as the clock starts.......really dont think this is the right thing to do

Agreed craig what idiot thought of protesting inside the ground i would like to know. tbh, f**k all to do with me or KCB if this is how they want to roll.

Completely agree - this is a waste of time ( and will be piss poor in terms of numbers involved )

I don't remember you saying that Craig?

Not only will it cause trouble inside the stadium but spoil the match for me as well. Go nuts outside form a circle holding hands around the stadium but leave it outside.

I agree all protests should be kept outside the ground and peaceful,I believe everyone wearing blue in the ground will say enough to Tan.

Daz im sure even you see that protesting inside the ground would get on the pitch

Sorry but our owners knew what would happen with this re brand and the division it would cause. Dont blame either the red or Blue side just vincent Tan. There was no need to do what he has done just for his own ego.

agree... inside (as stated) only like a few mins b4 the teams come onto the pitch, but most def not during the game. it might distract the team and as its just another excuse for the pro-reds that we are not cardiff fans and that we dont support our team...

Yea but nukes its while the teams playing wheres the sence in that

I want Cardiff to be blue,, but we should accept it this season now, and concentrate on supporting the team.... All these protests will just distract the players etc, people need to grow up

i am 100 per cent KCB, however there must be no protest during game time , for all 90 minutes we should support the team. any time prior or after the game we can protest about the colour change , but only then.

Sorry but our owners knew what would happen with this re brand and the division it would cause. Dont blame either the red or Blue side just vincent Tan. There was no need to do what he has done just for his own ego.

Yea but nukes its while the teams playing wheres the sence in that

I am not involved in that. Just respect the one's that do. Its there choice

our first league game, and that ain't gonna distract our players is it, and this crap about keeping us blue, they can't keep us blue, we are registered for this season at the very least as a red team, League rules will ensure we can't change this season, so how are we meant to keep blue.

What are they hoping to achieve, other than piss our investors off, what are they hoping above all hopes this achieves.

Although my personal way of protesting is to refuse to buy any of the red kit and probably to always wear blue to home games (if I can find an old replica shirt that still fits me ) , I see no harm whatsoever in others protesting as the suggest here.
As long as its kept peaceful then I can`t see how the manager or players (who don`t believe in the colour change themselves) are going to be distracted. As players , they are going to be supported by all the home fans . Chanting Bluebirds throughout the game shouldn`t upset them either , as this is the nickname (at least for now until stage two of the imposed changes are brought in) of the team.

On the registration of the new kit , in fact the club could have changed it back to blue at any time over the last several weeks ,and could still do so now if they really wanted to , because kit changes have to be registered in the close season which is still in place until the first league game is played.

The odd thing is why the club chose to register the kit change far earlier than they needed to. As you know from the meeting on 8 May that you and I both attended , we were told it had already been registered , even though season 2011/12 hadn`t even ended by then. So , between this and telling Vince as early as the end of March , was this a deliberate effort to get the news leaked out to "test the water" of fan reaction? If this was not the intention, why bother telling Vince or notifying the League far earlier than was needed?

I 100% percent agree with this protest before the game, if not during it.

KCB, why don't you do us a favour and f**k the hell off!!!!

If I see anyone protesting inside the ground, I will personally tell them exactly what I think of them!!!

Also, if it distracts the team, I will go f*cking nuts!

Arrrrrghhhhh this shitty f*cking group really gets on my tits.

Gwyn, any room in your gang mate
