I can't deny that it confirms my summation.
90% red but still felt divided with a hostile feel to the air.
Wasn't the cleverest of PR stunts.
Like they say after joking about a tender subject "Whoops?! Too soon?"

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Amyone who thinks that tonight split the club is on another planet. As the game kicked off a lot of people held their red scarves high, I counted maybe 20 blue scarves. The whole ground was awash with red, face it folks, the overwhleming majority of people want premiership football in red rather than chmapionship in blue, FACT.

Ooooh! how many pro blue on there? they are ounumbered by the in excess of 22000 that wore their red scarves tonite.

Ah, I see, you're just going to ignore the sentiments of people who were at the game today. Or you just don't give a fuck about the club's support being split.

I think the muted response to VT's birthday told a wider story. We'll wear your free scarves. We'll support you and the club. But we won't celebrate it with gusto.

There was a hell of a lot of red worn tonight. Even the pro-blue acknowledge that in those tweets. Majorities are often quite silent aren't they? Why rant on twitter when you aren't outraged at all?

Nobody I know who went to the game are proud to call themselves a city fan tonight. A below par city performance they can take. But allow being surrounded by a bunch of lipstickle shithead 'fans' with their new scarves though, fuck that.

The problem for me is how the majority are just wilfully accepting it, no qualms whatsoever. I'm not going down the city until we change back to blue, and the fact that that may take sometime saddens me. Yet if it saves me having to rub shoulders with the average city fan then I say good riddance. Bunch of obsequious twats.

My cousin will surely be showing off his new scarf the next time I see him. He's 28 years old. First season ticket bought in 2008. Was a Cardiff Blues season ticket holder before then. Muppet.

Your ludicrous and irrelevant comparison sure sounds ridiculous enough to me.

Why? Labour has been historically linked to the colour red for decades. People would be outraged by the change from tradition. But would it make an iota of difference to how they would handle the business of running the country? You know the important thing. The future.
I don't see how being a different colour makes a difference to the important thing at Cardiff, making it a successful sporting club and a sustainable proposition.
Tbf even compared to every other "soulless bowl" modern indentikit stadiums I've visited (see Reading, Leicester, Arsenal, many more etc) the atmosphere at your new stadium was without a doubt the worst by far out of em all, and is so sad to see... give me an old-skool ground (or even a new one that has any kind of character) ANY day !!!
The change of colours is not just the only problem at Cardiff City atm, and I'd HATE to see every football club turn into such a monogamous "franchise club"
FUCK MODERN FOOTBALL !!!
Cardiff fans should be fighting this every step of the way. 1927 your attitude towards all this bollocks is an utter disgrace, you're nothing but a plastic sell out, you have NO right to call yourself a real supporter whatsoever !!!

I miss Ninian Park. I really do.
The choice was a high capacity bowl (holds loads cheaply) or low capacity stadium with crowd control issues and very little income to fuel any sporting ambition of note.
Hate The FA, Fifa, UEFA, Sky etc. who create the rich poor footballing divide. Not the poor clubs caught in the trap of play by their rules or be doomed to insignificance.

For your comparison to make any sense at, the change would be coming from an foreign investor who had no idea who Labour were until recently and he'd not only be changing their colour; he'd be changing their entire branding and inventing a whole new made-up strapline to represent the party.

They change their slogans regularly
2010 - A future fair for all'
2012 - One Nation
and have been bankrolled by foreigners.

Q. How many times have they changed their core colour scheme, changed their logo, changed their entire branding and changed their strapline all in one go, all on the whim of one investor?
A. Never
Want to try again now?
Gromit
International Man of Misery
The question was. If they did would be stop voting for them and would they be ridiculous for doing so? If their aims for political success remain ambitious.
Or would they go support the green party instead who'll never make it into the big leagues but at least they can't change their colour.

Sorry but this specious comparison is too daft and irrelevant to be bothering with.

Like Tony Blair coming from a different class, pushing to ditch clause four, moving from a red flag to a red rose and changing it to 'New Labour'.

Me tbh. I'm unemployed right now. A free season ticket would be a godsend.
Knowing how much time swiss darning that extra bit would have taken, I can only applaud their dedication in finding a way to fold the words instead.
