Musty. We are no different to supporters of any other club, and being a Bluebird is a state of heart and mind and doesn't depend on the colour of a shirt. The nickname is nothing more than a nickname. I agree with cracker in as much as we musn't get overly critical toward the fans who are not welcoming of the change, but for me, anything that makes the most of our welshness is OK by me.
I'm 58 next month and I'm with you Pontprennau, those of your age are the future we need to keep getting young supporters and your oppinion counts.
Old git! Absolutely right Rhondda. Our history is safe and can never be taken away. It's time for this club to stop looking longingly into the future and start to start a whole new and exciting era - I think we are doing just that.
you are once again on ignore, your comments are silly and un cardiff, you are the only moron on here, bye bye con fuse
some strong opinions on this thread...... you're entitled to opinion pontprennau whether your 9 or 99, we are all bluebirds (even musty probably) and all want the club to succeed. each to their own but i'd be very embarassed to walk about in a red cardiff shirt!!!....
Kenny grow up whether red or blue I'm city through and through and if sombodeee has a problem with that you can sulk about at home when I'm watching the pride of our great country I front of 20,000 people
I can contently live with people not liking the change and buying the away shirt instead of the home one. Take the positives... He's buying a shirt! (He said he doesn't usually) so happy days! Even not buying a shirt and still turning up is absolutely fine by me. But trying to disrupt the club? No.
It's all a bit of a sideshow for the press now during th quiet silly season. Wales on line were trying to stir it by quoting some poll of the Supporters Trust - a poll in which less than 40% could be bothered to reply. Not exactly representative of us is it? We're going red (at home), we're getting funding, we're paying to get rid of Sam - just live with it guys. Move on for Heaven's sake!
Iggy, The trust have 688 members (yes I'm one) they came out against the rebrand before any polls yet they could only get 145 memers to vote no, I think questions should be asked as they are not in touch with their members.
This is the most sensible, realistic and level headed article I've seen on the whole issue. Well done H bomb.
i said 'each to their own' - each person is entitled to their own opinions. mine is that i would be embarassed to walk around in a red shirt. if you are happy to do that then i never said that makes you any more or less of a fan than me. and no i wont sit at home sulking, i'll just turn up in my blue shirt and enjoy the match whatever colour the team plays in.......we're still cardiff city......
Wise words for one so young! Seriously though Pont, I've got a good few years start on you but feel similar. Due to geography I get to very few games and most of those away, so I'll see them play in blue and won't notice the difference. We all have city in our hearts and follow / support them in our own ways. I only missed 2 games all last season, unfortunately all of them were listened to on the radio. Wearing a shirt or not, being mambers of the supporters club or not, season ticket holder or not (was for a few seasons many years ago, probably before you were born Pont), doesn't make us any less passionate about our club. It hurts when people mess with tradition, but it would hurt more if we ceased to exist.
Tom looking forward to getting his new Red Shirt, he's 13. I hardly ever buy a shirt, last one i bought was for the ECWC against Baumit Admira Wacker in Vienna 92/93 season, still got it with the South Wales Echo as the sponsor, however my point is this. I asked Tom how many in his school are wanting the new shirt and the reply was, All of them. Onwards and upwards, change is inevitable so lets embrace it together.
Well explain why has this thread in any connection to do with a sweaty sock who claims to follow swanc?. You might be once again on a ban son ,you ever thought of that now sit and behave.
