doesn't spring to mind as much as the bluebird, everyone knows it as it's the nickname of the club :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: a unique brand other clubs don't have

It wouldn't surprise me if we went back to Blue but I'm guessing it may come with a condition.. I. E. Certain level of season tickets.
I still think Tan is bailing out I don't expect any further major investment in the near future.

I just don't see it happening think we are all going to be left disappointed with the outcome, hope I'm wrong :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

The meeting is to confirm a return to blue, thus giving Tan a smokescreen for:

A sell off of all players of any value
Recruitment of a lower league journeyman manager to pursue a lower (i.e. cheaper) standard of football
An off the scale increase in debt to around £150m
Tan apparatchiks with zero experience of football to continue running the football club
Confirmation of reneging on debt to equity
Confirmation of reneging on a new training ground
A never to be used white elephant stand extension, complete with red seats
Pocketing of all future parachute payments
Heading off any pesky protests so that season ticket sales are at least partly upheld

Doubt this lot will be on the agenda somehow :roll:

The simple truth is you don't know, so don't give the impression that you do. It does you no credit! :roll: :oops:

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

I know the rebrand is being discussed but nothing has been offered or promised yet , I'm quietly optomistic will wait and see what is said. Would be good if someone be there updating on the meeting (on here) as it happens so we can all find out what's going on here?

Fantastic news if true, our club needs a huge boost on and off the the pitch, our fans will be able to do that :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Ill be paying to watch games next season if this does happen.

Return to blue & Badge

Season ticket will wait until it would actually happen.

But I do believe when a fire is lit the smokes goes anyway the wind blows but be careful as the wind may change and leave you in a cloud of smoke.

Good Luck

Guess nothing is finalised , but credit to Annis if the rumours and information is accurate , simply a return to Blue next season will be wonderful news and bridge the gap with our owner tan.. Annis Ile be over the moon to renew my season ticket if Tan makes the gesture to return us to our true colours Blue and this would be significant to the fans and club uniting some what... Hope your right Annis , as if not I hope you dont renew as you have indicated as this will further mean Tan continues to play games with us ...
Guess we have to be optimistic and view this move as a positive development and CCFC potentially showing us some respect as the fans make the club......

Fingers crossed and Ile be first to renew and be delighted to have our Bluebirds back......

True, but guranteed someone will kick off if something they don't like is talked about. If Tan say's he cutting investment off, then you know someone would rather that than seeing us back blue.
