Mike, I was at the first ever meeting and it was stated that night in front of all of us that there would be no longer a Blubird on our badge, then it was given back to us a mini one days later. all Facts.

What TG has said is nothing less than patronising bllx!

Takes away our identity with one hand then tries to pacify us by THROWING a token bluebird onto the bottom of the badge with the other....I'll never trust them again

Was this a thread about Bluebirds and therefore identity?

It's undeniable that they've spent a fair bit on playing staff...but until that debt to equity promise is fulfilled then they have just increased the clubs debt. So less of the 'lols' mate, I'm entitled to my opinion as you are

The principle of this story is: the bluebird was put on there as a 'very' last resort. The long term plan of the owners was to call us The Dragons, thereby completely extinguishing our identity.

To be honest I'm glad you're getting annoyed . Some emotion on this subject is better than the abject apathy that some have shown ;)

TG also said we would stay in blue this season...

"In the light of the vociferous opposition by a number of the fans to the proposals being considered as expressed directly to our local management and through various media and other outlets, we will not proceed with the proposed change of colour and logo and the team will continue to play in blue at home for the next season with the current badge."

THEY'RE ALL LIARS AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED!! :evil:

He told the initial meeting that the colour would be changed and showed the new proposed badge which was the new badge minus the bluebird, which you probably knew. Playing in red, with the crest being a lone dragon....the mind boggles as to what the new nic-name would have been! :o

Boo Hoo :roll: who cares if we're not called the bluebirds any longer? so long as we have CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB is all that matters. Without the malaysians, there would be no more cardiff city to even have a nick name. although sam hamman did try his best to loose our identity when he took us to the brink not so long ago. Will some of you wake up.

Being Bluebirds is massively important to lots of people, probably the vast majority. We won't actually be the Cardiff City known to most if we cease to be the Bluebirds as well as not playing in blue..I suggest its you who needs to wake up sir.

Can you direct me to any statement from the Malaysians saying that they wanted to call us the Dragons?

I'm not saying you can't but I just can't recall seeing one.

The point I was trying to make, perhaps unsuccessfully, was that they planned to take the bluebird off the crest, to actually REPLACE it with a dragon and to change the kit to Red. We are already being referred to in some sections of the press as 'the Dragons' ( and thats WITH a small bluebird remaining!) and the reality being that we would have been known as 'The Dragons' given that nothing resembling a bluebird (logo or colour) would have remained. I was making a point regarding what their plans were for us without consultation and without regard for our heritage...despite what they've said since.

My apologies sir for putting it as a statement

Re: TG - We will always be called the Bluebirds

Let's make no mistake tho, the press have always hated Cardiff and by calling us the dragons is no mistake and just a dig at the fans and to gather further attention and reaction (which they get).
If anything I would think the minimum our fans should know is the press talk shit.

People can call us what they want, to me they are and always will be the bluebirds irrelevant of the size of the bluebird. No media quip will change that.
