Not Saying Bluebirds Last Night ?

Sat Aug 18, 2012 11:57 am

Why wasnt ali saying the bluebirds last night then ? When the teams come out instead of saying "representing the capital city of wales cardiff city the bluebirds" he says cardiff city football club, also when we scored he didnt say "goal for the bluebirds scored by number 5 mark hudson" he says goal for cardiff city ? If we are still called the bluebirds and TG has come out and said we will always be known as the bluebirds why has he stopped saying it ? Has he been told not too ??

We noticed that last night, my son and I. Strange. Was that Ali's subtle swipe at the rebranding, maybe?

Yeah we noticed that. I reckon he has been instructed and it's part of the plan to keep moving away from blue and to promote red

My view is that, when football club owners treat fans as consumers rather than fans, then we should act like consumers. If you don't like the product offered, don't buy it. With that in mind, this may be my last season, although it's difficult to say that and follow it through after 36 years of loyalty.

I thought he done it vs newcastle, maybe h done it because TG was there? We will find out next home game if thats the case

I thought he did say it. Didnt listen to the goal announcement, but thought he did say it when the teams walked out as the person next to me said "at least they're still calling us that then"....

New league regulation apparently when teams walk out.....thats what one of the boys said last night :? . After that you can refer to the team as Bluebirds.

didnt hear him at half time, but he 100% said cardiff city football club instead of cardiff city the bluebirds as he used to.

If that's right I can't see what the problem is with him carrying on saying what he used to as he says Cardiff city first then the bluebirds ?
