We are BLUE

We are blue again and all I can think is what a waste of 3 years or so of the rebrand. That’s what can happen when you have a foreign owner who just doesn’t understand football and the fans love for a club and its history.

Any owner can do what he likes once he has control of a club and it’s within the rules of the Football League. All you need is to pass the 51% ownership mark but you need the fans on-board for your plans to work. The meeting went well according to those attending. With everyone on massage even the clubs hierarchy seem to realise Blue was the way forward. However, in the end the decision was in the hand of one man, Vincent Tan.

I don’t think there is a Cardiff City fan who won’t have wanted to be a fly on the wall at today’s board meeting. Only as recent as Christmas Day on Sky Sports News, Vincent Tan was announcing forcibly “the Bluebirds were staying red” and was unmoved by the fans protests. Again the rumour mill is suggesting that the possibility of fans not renewing their season tickets in number and the record low attendance for the recent FA Cup game at the Cardiff City Stadium (4,194) had a bearing on the decision.

Waiting was hard I was just hoping it would go the right way so everyone could get behind a united and happy club. Our colours must return to a blue home kit with a prominent Bluebird badge the red kit can then revert to being the away kit.

Chairman Mehmet Dalman is asking the fans show a respectful level of respect to Vincent Tan. Sian Branson, of the supporters’ group Bluebirds Unite, said, “I think we can show Vincent Tan how great we can be as fans and how great this football club can be. They asked me, ’What do you think the atmosphere would be if we went back to blue?’ I said, ’You won’t see a party like it in this city.’

“We’ll have a march and I’ll walk up the front of that march with a banner saying: ’Thank you Vincent Tan’ if we go back to blue. We’ve still got to wait but I’m positive.”

Most if not everyone was happy with Vincent Tan acquiring the club but for the rebrand and a few crazy appointments. Football fans can be demanding when I comes to their club. Tomorrow the Bluebirds will run out as the Bluebirds after the Football League gave their permission.
