NO shit stirring just a genuine question

Will be people be chanting red army or blue army?

People will say the fans always chanted "blue army" at away games when we played in a variety of colours but the reason for doing so was because the colour synonymous with Cardiff City was blue. As this is no longer the case surely the chant should be red army or is that a bridge too far for some people?

I honestly dont know.

Don't think anyone will be chanting red army

In my opinion the 'blue army' chant will become a thing of the past, or reserved for away days, don't think 'red army' will catch on, at least for a couple of years anyway.

From what I can tell is we are red and we are blue. Albeit red might be the home kit to aid with marketing purposes neither colour has precedence over the other. That is what I have seen embedded in the ethos of the club on Friday at the stadium launch, so to be honest I don't think it would matter if you sang either.

Red Army is the nickname of my Sunday League side! So that's where that is going to stay for me. It's Blue Army and Bluebirds... same as it always has been tonight for me. :)
