just don't like the fire and passion bit too much


Bluebird too small, dragon too big :thumbright:


Also looks as if Tan's dragon is attempting to eat the Bluebird. :lol:

anything to try and get supporters to renew season tickets very shortly, that's all it is about! :old:

I'd love to have the old badge back before rebrand, I think if there is another change of badge then the word "bluebirds" along with Cardiff city should be present

Of course debt to equity is completely off the table. Rightly so.

Imagine the badge if it was just the bluebird like the old days but maybe with a white background.

The blue shirt back and decent badge would make me proud to support Cardiff city again :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

If we get blue I'll be delighted. Remember the word compromise..one thing at a time..get it back' then ask for more.

Yes he's attacking the debt in other ways, ready to sell presumably in time. :thumbright:

I think he will go blue with no more investment or red with personally

Re: ' UPDATED ' ' They are even now saying '

As nice as it would be, I can't see Tan turning around tomorrow and saying 'back to blue' with nothing in return! I wonder if the price of season tickets will be mentioned as a compromise!! Back to blue and prices go up... Stick with red and price freeze/reduced costs of season ticket... Something for the 'chosen 40' to think about before the meeting! Id definitely be happier paying more and watching them in blue! 100 mile round trip to watch a red team in a lifeless stadium is becoming quite tedious!!!

Changing to blue will not guarantee a good atmosphere.

Why? They should be behind the team anyway. At least what's the propagandaists say.

Re: ' UPDATED ' ' They are even now saying '

There may be catch..........back to blue only if we sell 22,000 ST etc to pay for the reverse of the rebrand etc.

I never said it would guarantee a good atmosphere but I've been going for 23 years and watching my team play in our colours and everybody around you is in the same shoes, is a massive part of the day out! And I hate, hate, hate that all my kids know and have experienced is Red! Even if the atmosphere stayed flat I would be happier on a personal level, taking my kids to watch the bluebirds play in blue and talk about something other than the rebrand!!
I don't post much but as I own a business myself, my point is, what does Tan want in return? I know no more funding has been mentioned, I'm just intrigued as to what is the catch?? There has to be something...

Re: ' UPDATED ' ' They are even now saying '

Wed Jan 07, 2015 7:08 pm

Annis if this happens, and we return to blue and a bluebird, will it change the way you think of Tan? How do you think the majority of the supporters will react?
Personally I hate the rebrand as much as anyone else but also recognise the fact we survive as a club because of his money (like everyone else ;-))
Will it be the end of the ‘Tan Out’ shouts and beginning of “Oh lord tan the Man?”
Has he caused too much damage and disrespected the fans so much its unforgivable or will we want to take him to Canton and buy him a few pints of Dark

Paul, I can only say what Ive been told and why we have been invited there,what I dont know though is,if any conditions on this?

Ive put it all out,because it has come from people who are involved in our club etc and I have never felt so positive for years, I will feel worse than sick.if it does not come off and I will state now," I wont Renew my season ticket if we now dont get our BLUE back for next season " :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:


They can promise all they want but we will be asked to renew before the club has to submit next seasons colours.
Would you renew based on a verbal promise from Tan?

Re: ' UPDATED ' ' They are even now saying '

Wed Jan 07, 2015 7:33 pm

If Tan done all of the above, blue and bluebird badge, do you honestly believe it will make a big difference to attendances and atmosphere after the first few games?

Or do you think a few bad results and people will feel disheartened, and we will slip back into the trap we are current in during league home games??

Of course I'd be delighted if Tan reverted the colours but I think the rot is a lot deeper than that, I honestly don't see a long term solution.

modernising the brand should of happened years ago, the brand is Cardiff City Bluebirds :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: the Bluebird is synonymous with the club, anyone tell me what Stoke City's emblem is? me neither......Cardiff always had an opportunity to market itself better
