Protests

Sat Sep 28, 2024 5:21 pm

Seen a few saying we need protests against this owner.

Forget about it, won't happen.

Sadly there are too many of our fans who will just sit by and watch him take us down to League One.

The time for protests was 2012, it’s pointless now and will just look like sour grapes as we’re bottom of the league.

That's also very true.

Time for protest was when we were turned red. Only 150 of us returned season tickets. Why did 99% roll with it? I will never understand how you did.

Because they support and love the club. For most it’s in their blood not something we cut ties with.

In the best interests of the club you support a stand should have been made to show the board what they were doing was unacceptable and as a fan base we were not for moving. It was the premiership dream why people rolled with it even though turning red was indefensible.

And it’s never too late to protest the board/owner. Only way that’s going to happen and more people get involved is for protests to start in one form or another

It wasn't the Premier League dream for me. It was about supporting my club.

I will never have a go at those who walked away but also wouldn't expect anyone to have a go at us who stayed.

If it were to happen again, I would make the same decision.

I have no regrets about standing by my club, regardless of the owner.

The only traitors in that rebrand were the people that wore the red shirts and actively encouraged it. I have full respect for those that chose to stay and maintain the blue and have full respect for those that boycotted (like I did).

Many of Our fans have let this happen and have backed these Clowns and have not stood up to them and never did during the worst days in our history, The Despicable Rebrand, so I can’t see them doing anything now.

I’m a man of principle and couldn’t go along with the debacle. What would have me turning up done? Absolutely nothing and I’d do it all again.

The fact we are still having these conversations shows the real problem for me. Tan has split the fanbase, ruined the club and until he leaves we will never be able to move on. In fact I’m not sure him leaving will help.

You're probably right, at least for now. But no one can truly predict the long-term consequences of a new owner. Remember when we thought things had improved when he saved us? Without him, we might not have a club at all.

Though I suppose that doesn't matter much to you, since you've stood by your principles and no longer follow the team anyway.

That's also very true.

Agree and I thought that last time; mainly because our owner was neither listening or concerned with our thoughts…

And the creditable Sian Branson apart, the end organisation was poor and misguided after a certain element seized the opportunity to use events for their own nefarious ends and it all fell apart with some ugly scenes…

My honest opinion is that little will sway the owner until someone stumps up an acceptable (to him) amount of cash, or he simply decides he has had enough; and sadly neither of those appear imminent…

Which leaves us with the only real option of boycotting the ground; but what genuine CARDIFF CITY FC supporter really wants to do that?

Certainly not me; but I am getting more disillusioned and there could come a point at this current rate… :cry:

Re: Protests

Sun Sep 29, 2024 9:19 am

Merthyrfunhouse, you’re making it out as if walking away from the club was an easy decision after supporting them since I was 13 years old. It wasn’t, I walked away when we were arguably in our most successful era and getting to the supposed “promised land”.

I’ve been through the worst times with Cardiff and I’ll be there again. Tuesday at Millwall and Sunday at Bristol.

I’d say any genuine fan would want to do what’s best for the club in the long run. If that means boycott then so be it.

I don’t think whatever we do that Tan will give two shits. He’s made it very clear that it’s his club and we’re merely customers.

Re: Protests

Sun Sep 29, 2024 9:31 am

Boycotting the games is not the answer there' s enough staying at home as it is

Deby county had full stadiums knowing full well they where struggling,
Tan choo and dalhman and sky sports,
need to see the banners protest in the stadium otherwise we will go down without a whimper.

It's disappointing to see you resorting to insults.

So, it wasn't the entire rebrand that went against your principles, just part of it? There's still plenty wrong with the rebrand overall, yet your principles seem fine with the rest of it?

Re: Protests

Sun Sep 29, 2024 10:02 am

The protest could have started by fans not buying season tickets. Many people believed the bullshit again, pushing for the top 2 or playoffs, don't make me laugh. It now may be too late to save us from relegation, however Tan will now take a financial hit the hard way. Unfortunately it means playing in League 1 for us. When Tan goes, we can fully get behind the club and push back up the league. With a new owner we can enjoy the football and the match day experience once again. I hope for them days to return. :bluescarf:

Re: Protests

Sun Sep 29, 2024 11:37 am

Protests at ground does not work other clubs shown that! We've seen Teddy bears tennis balls and numerous other things thrown on pitch all it does is disrupts team... tan is fully aware of the distane fans have for him as he reads this board apparently.... I Don't want relegation but that would be most powerful message that what he's doing and how he's running club is failing? The financial hit is extreme for him and he will have a decision to make...nothing else seems to effect him
