SOME CONFUSION ON LEAGUE RULING RE KIT

Mon Aug 13, 2012 8:46 pm

There is an active post on MM's site and some KCB members are saying that if VT can be made to change his mind then the kit can be changed back at a whim, well not according to the League rules they can't, so protest as much as you want to (keep it legal lads) but the kit is red this season whatever happens.

He isn't goin to change his mind though.
I'm sure he is delighted with the response from fans tbh, I think changing back is the last thing on his mind.

Well I have for all the games we played in Blue, hopefully if they can get red shirts in my size i.e. extra medium, then I will get one for home games as well.
As a fan, I try to support the team and wear the colours they play in. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

And protesting twelve months before the next season starts will achieve what, surely it would make more sense to protest before next years kit is decided and submitted, may be bit more fresh in the mind. :ayatollah:

Wearing the blue kit this season is the best protest and keeps it active.

True but let's be honest the success of the red kit will depend on the form of the team, sad and fickle but true.

Lots of people I've spoke to planned on wearing blue but now decided to go neutral become of some of the comments made by KCB recently or those trying to support them.
I'll have my blue top on tho.

This whole thing is still a farce. Those that want to wear red, let them wear red. Those that want to wear blue, let them wear blue. Cardiff games are a place of free speech. I won't begrudge anyone showing support for either colour of kit provided they do it in the right manner and don't act like knobs.

I'll be wearing blue at every game I go to this season and hope many others do. Hopefully the red shirt sales are pretty bad at home so VT is forced into chainging it back. :ayatollah:

What use is it trying to generate an income abroad while not generating one at home?

Does anyone think that selling City shirts in the far East has been a major part of the plan, the money they are after is in sponsorship, advertising, naming the stadium and stands, TV rights and possibly when ready selling shares on the Hong Kong stock market.

If you ever go further East than Dover, you will soon see that of every one hundred Man United shirts you see being worn, 99% of the will be hickey and the club earn zilch.

IT AIN'T ABOUT SELLING SHIRTS, don't think a one hundred million pound investment is base around selling a few thousand pounds worth of shirts. :roll:
