The worst night of my life watching Cardiff City, I actually

Postby Forever Blue » Sun Jan 10, 2021 2:12 pm

The worst night of my life watching Cardiff City, I actually cried and walked out at h-t with my oldest daughter :cry: :bluescarf:


That’s one of the main reasons why I will never forget/ forgive and we still have a despicable badge .

"HORRENDOUS".Still makes me sick just thinking about that night.I walked up the stairwell and couldn't believe what i was seeing(i thought i was in anfield).Made my way up to my seat,saw people who have supported city for decades wearing red scarves and loving it.Watched about 10 minutes then fucked off over to the cornwall pub-that night still haunts me. :bluebird:

I made sure I wore my blue and white scarf that night but got a few strange looks for that and when I refused a red scarf from the boxes of them which were being handed just inside the turnstiles.

At least there were a few floating in the urinals at the end of the game.

:bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: I am convinced Annis had I been at that game I would of walked away for good. Remember I came down with flu and I couldn’t even get out of bed never mind to the ground.
But I remember the reports coming out during the game and I was in disbelief at what was happening but I was more sickened with our fans for turning the stadium red.

But now I realise it was the best thing that could of happened as it was the turning point and the final nail in the coffin for that despicable Red. It made people sit up and realise what have they done ? Many who took the scarfs suddenly realised what they done and it hit them like a hammer, our Blue had gone.
You have heard the saying you got to hit rock bottom before you can bounce back and that was our rock bottom.

Never forgot what happened and by who but just as we were getting our identity back it still left a fractured fan base. I really couldn’t see a way back for us all but then came our messiah Sir Neil Warnock who I still believe was the only man that could unite us again. :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Cardiff red gave me a two and a half year break from the club id watched since 1975. To inflict it on a club with a colour related nickname was even more despicable.

Not a great time. But let’s get this in to some perspective people are dying left right and centre that is terrible. People are having they basic rights of meeting loved ones taken away that is Terrible.

I’m not a tan malky warnock Harris Sam Risdale fan. But I am a Cardiff city fan.
I can’t understand what all this recent purge of super negative anti Cardiff posts are about.

I’m a very straight and honest man please tell what the agenda Islas I don’t want to presume anything that is incorrect.

TBH the scarves were given away so none of those seen on the picture paid for them. It was stunt which didn't work as hardly anyone wore them again and certainly no-one wears them now.

It is an episode best forgotten. Being bitter about it 6 years on achieves nothing and will get us nowhere.

I'm more concerned about our form and would rather concentrate on that.

I've supported City since 1962/3 and love the tradition that comes with following a team in the Football league, but the over-reaction of grown men to a change in the colour of shirts for a couple of seasons is beyond me. Bellamy, promotion, Premier League - shirts aside it was fun..

We marched with pride and passion and love for our club and identity :thumbright: :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Those who don’t care that’s up to them, but I was personally heartbroken.

Exactly.

It was easily a third of the fans at the game.

It took time but the fans finally turned on the red.

Well said monkfish.

What I don’t get is no ones bothered that we not allowed to go to watch city play anymore. That for me is way worse than a change of shirt colour. Which Also no cares about when we play in our second or third strips when we not playing another team in red.

It boggles me it really does. People more upset up history that not be allowed to watch city today.

If you've supported city since 62 you would have noticed the clubs nick name is the bluebirds.to put them in a red shirt and dragon badge was totally disrespectful and embarrassing.As regards an overreaction it was an under reaction.if it had happened in a lot of other places there would have been murder.

I don't really get the gut wrenching worst night of my life supporting the City stories on here.

Personally, I've always loved the club because they represent the city I was born and brought up in. One of the reasons I could never be a plastic is because I've got no attachment to another place other than Cardiff.

Whilst I was glad we reverted back to blue, I never felt the pain some did when we played in red. For me, it hurt so much more when we had defeats against Hamburg, Stoke in the play-off semi and Blackpool in the final.

I get annoyed when people choose to watch the game from the Canton Stand and don’t sing. This game would have destroyed me. :lol: I’m glad I was living abroad at the time and missed it.

Yes and that was the sad part of it. People were prepared to take it for success. To many success trumps anything else.
But to defeat the red we had to do badly sadly and us that fought for the blue back knew that. And I have said before had we stayed up we would still be red today.
But many protested differently some walked away whilst others including me stayed and made ourselves a pain in the arse which pissed of the red supporters.
It was bleak times where fans got threatened including one fan being told I know where your kids go to school. Me I was threatened by email but I would never back down.
In fact that email tore friends apart in some cases. But I’m glad myself and thousands of others fought for what was right and Annis saying the only time he sang wasn’t to sing we will always be blue and that is true. And don’t that time I never saw him celebrate when we scored either.
I think I was very close to walking away when it was reversed and many time I thought about I was more angry with fans that totally accepted it.

I heard those rumours about " I know where your kids live". I have my suspicions who made those calls though but can't prove it.

A certain individual dropped his mask when he said to TLG and his good friend Tracy after a meeting at the CCS that there were guys from the Rhondda who were not happy with the 2 of them and it was said in such a way that it made it a threat. When asked if he was threatening them he backtracked and said I'm only saying to forewarn you. There was no one from the Rhondda on their way but it showed you how this guy thought. He no longer follows the club and I say good riddance to him.

It was bleak times where fans got threatened including one fan being told I know where your kids go to school. Me I was threatened by email but I would never back down.
In fact that email tore friends apart in some cases. But I’m glad myself and thousands of others fought for what was right and Annis saying the only time he sang wasn’t to sing we will always be blue and that is true. And don’t that time I never saw him celebrate when we scored either.


I think I was very close to walking away when it was reversed and many time I thought about I was more angry with fans that totally accepted it.


I heard those rumours about " I know where your kids live". I have my suspicions who made those calls though but can't prove it.

A certain individual dropped his mask when he said to TLG and his good friend Tracy after a meeting at the CCS that there were guys from the Rhondda who were not happy with the 2 of them and it was said in such a way that it made it a threat. When asked if he was threatening them he backtracked and said I'm only saying to forewarn you. There was no one from the Rhondda on their way but it showed you how this guy thought. He no longer follows the club and I say good riddance to him.



Ian,

No rumours sadly true.


80% of posters dont really know how bad it was for those he stayed loyal to our identity and those who spoke out got threatened.
