Lee Beames Everyone had a choice from day one ' I chose to watch the club I love' many of my friends chose to walk away and I respect there choice' tan could and may one day put 33'000 red seats in the ground but if we fill the place and all where blue know one will ever see a red seat while the games on' keep wearing blue and cheer the players and sing real football songs and tan will feel the stress. Tan is slowly getting worn down. . Blue on 19.27 is great and must be kept going but the rest of the game we need to get back to supporting the team..

Because this is not the true reason for them wanting a refund. If their only concern was sitting in a red seat they would have asked to be relocated.

Obviously just a means to an end.

So they did accept the rebrand in the first instance but now city are in the championship they are sickened by a red seat. So why did they accept the rebrand and why do they think it's not a good idea anymore. Typical sellout supporters if you ask me

LurchCcfc Jenko Tan ain't got a business plan. If he bought a subway franchise he'd make it red. Fuckin clown. With the drop in demand next season, he will have red in his face.

Anthony Parris I doubt many fans will sit on the seats without a blue seat cover
So I can see more and more problems

Joe Mackay Well done Conrad Pheasant. Great stand to take. I'm saddened but glad I haven't renewed this season. I just can't understand why anyone would want to sit in a red seat. Our club has totally sold out. I've had dealings with Gorringe on behalf of BU and he is just tans yes man!!


Wayne Dibs Anderson I've gone up there , and I'm blue , my hope is enough up there to hide them , I'll be taking my flags too , they will hide 36 seats , 18 each

Joe Mackay Let's hope so Dibs, your giant flag should cover a good few rows of red.

Conrad James Pheasant It really is with regret that I am walking away Dibs but the way in which the club lied to me when I queried moving from there or obtaining a refund was the straw that broke the camel's back! I am looking forward to seeing plenty of blue flags up there!:-)

I take it these quotes are from bu's Facebook page.
I'm glad their leaving the club,I'll be in the new stand and the last thing i want is to sit next to fans who do nothing but moan especially about the colour of a seat,good riddance to bad rubbish,Bu rubbish :thumbup:

Re: Updated ' Cardiff fans see Red & demand their money back

Tue May 20, 2014 10:29 pm

Will the same fans ask for a refund if it's a yellow/white seat? Pathetic if you ask me, how is that in anyway a legit refund, because you don't like the colour of the season you want a full re-fund?

Laughable, absolutely laughable, they knew what they were getting into

Re: Updated ' Cardiff fans see Red & demand their money back

It was obvious the seats were going to be red to be honest.

Simple simple solution and it needs everyone to follow and thats everyone to boycott the new stand. But again as supporters we are divided again. It would again send out a visual statement that the red seats isnt wanted. To be constantly empty would send out the message that its a white elephant and another Tan own goal.The Trust, supporters club should of advised its members to boycott. But no this has slipped us by. :(

This guy is just a shit version of Dave Sugarman.

Didnt make a stand when the shirts changed, or the badge changed, or the CCS become a shrine to Malaysia but wants a refund because the new seats are red :lol:

Fair play to Sugarman he stuck to his principles from the start.

Chris, I would love that to happen, but we would get a max of say another few hundred. Its also easier said than done, its hard just to walk away from the club u love so much, we all have different views on that side :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Re: Updated ' Cardiff fans see Red & demand their money back

Seems to me the solution/answer is simple:

People who are not happy sitting in red seats can with ask for a transfer or walk away; preferably without a refund IMHO as it was pretty obvious from the start there was a good chance those seats would be red

After two years of watching a team in the dreaded red (40+ if you include watching in blue), I have to say this all smacks of hypocrisy from those NOW moaning and/or threatening to leave and I have to be very suspicious (as I was with some after the "play-off" loss two years ago) as to some peoples motives for waiting until AFTER we are relegated to start moaning and demanding their money back

Where have you been for two years?

Do you really think YOUR decisions to move to the "new" stand was Tan's fault? :?

Spot on again Sven. or another idea is to buy up all of the red seats so that it is not visible?

Re: Updated ' Cardiff fans see Red & demand their money back

Wed May 21, 2014 10:27 am

Sven yes to me it was obvious what colour the seats would be. I have no interest in that stand. And to be honest for the life of me I can't understand why we don't use this to our advantage. Jesus what statement would it send out if this stand was empty ? It would be another embarrassing own goal by Tan. But hey this is CCFC fans and it takes a while for the obvious solution to kick in. JUST SAY FOOKING NO AND STAY IN YOUR BLUE AND WHITE AND 6 YELLOW SEATS :thumbup:

Well I have made the decision to walk away, havent enjoyed it for a few years now, its become a chore rather than a pleasure and I am not paying £60 a month for something I am not enjoying anymore. The rebrand and Tan making it crystal clear there is no room for compromise has made it easier but this decision isnt soley down to that. Its about modern football in general, I just dont get the same Saturday football buzz like I used to.

My 3 mates who I share the car with are also packing it in for the same reasons and weve done 100 years between us.

I did try to make the break 3 seasons ago to do the same but end up going to most of home games up until Xmas then buying a half season ticket and I dare say when the season starts I will be itching to do the same but at the moment I am walking away.

No I said, if thy dare go any further with the rebrand like a name change.

I honestly feel if we walk away our stadium would be the despicable red for ever, with youngsters knowing no different,we are winning the battle on the terraces :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:
