Cardiff City RedBlueDragonBirds 2012-2013 season

Western Mail and Echo in stirring up shit to sell more newspapers shocker.
We banned them from the ground once and they bought their way back in through sponsorship

I don't suppose those papers might be selling because they represent the views of a lot of fans?

 

[Gromit]

That is our away kit 'Gromit', the away kit has got to be a different colour to the home kit in case it clashes with the opposition kit, 32red is a sponsor.

You said always. Not so long as it doesn't clash with the opposition.

 

[ddraig]

so...
went out to get the paper and Trampie is right!

text reads - Change the name of Cardiff City to the Cardiff Dragons? We say...

text below pic reads - "Tan backtracks from interview which revealed potential name change", "Fans react with anger & disbelief as incredible day of drama unfolds" and "Our poll shows 58% of supporters would walk away from the Bluebirds"

"Our poll shows 58% of supporters would walk away from the Bluebirds"

Gromit and 1927 would still be there though, desperate for SUCCESS at any cost.

Lol you have been away a long time. I protested outside their offices once with the RAMS and the Supporters club who weren't happy with the way they continually undermine the club with negative stories.
They are the print equivalent of internet trolls, whilst saying we're supporters too, we care. Every now and then when we achieve something they flip to celebratory editions rather than negative muck raking.

They fucking love the egg though. Rarely a bad word to say about rugby clubs no matter what shit is going on.

So their poll is a fix then?

 

[ddraig]

there's a big NO on the back page too, under "... and just in case you didn't get it..."
NO

 

[Gromit]

Their internet polls are pretty crap tbh. I've seen them used before to back up some crap that isnt the view of the fans.
Refresh the page and you can vote as often as you like. 58% of votes saying they leave does not translate into 58% of fan opinion. Just those that felt strongly enough to vote.

I'd have voted no too btw. But I'd still go. Yes I'd lie on the poll in the hopes of influencing the owner.

Is'nt Trampie always right ?

 

[ddraig]

no it very much isn't!

 

[trampie]

It's seemingly all kicking off over the rebrand yet lots of the Cardiff fans on here don't even know it.

 

[ddraig]

shut up

 

[trampie]

You were one of the mushrooms 'ddraig'.

 

[ddraig]

wtf?
just because i hadn't seen today's paper?

 

[trampie]

As well as newspapers there's the internet, radio, tv, good old word of mouth etc etc, perhaps lots of Cardiff fans are in the dark ages and have no idea what is going on around them ?, oh hang about that could explain a lot.

 

[ddraig]

either make sense or shut up
please ta

 

[trampie]

Some people are speculating if Sam Hammam is going to be on the Cardiff board again due to the Chairman resigning, some fans on the net think 'SH' will ride back into town others think there is'nt a cat in hells chance of that happening, but lots of fans do seem to think that it is very strange the chairman suddenly standing down like that, which is bound to cause speculation.

 

[Gromit]

What you mean is that Annus Abrahams and crew are stirring up rumours again in the hopes someone will give them their wet dream back. They leap on every opportunity to do so the deluded sycophants.

Tan may give him a silent seat on the board but that's about it. He's been offered honoury life chairman before but all he really cares about is cash or the power to suck more cash out of us.

just about the name change backtracking

[Gromit]

It is a shame that Tan's ego has led us to one PR disaster to the next.

He should have never bothered with scarves or talked to the Beeb. Just kept in the background till this season ran its course.

It's like medieval spells:

“I believe the colour change is positive and will bring good tidings to Cardiff City Football Club."

 

[1927]

that's a shame

Its a pic of kid in a red shirt looking at his dad in a blue shit thinking what a cock his dad looks!

 

[1927]

The 2 biggest anti reds spouting off on here have probabaly seen less live games in the past, lets say 5 years, than either me or Gromit have in each of those years.

Ah, you're reduced to that now. We could do really childish things like see who's travelled the furthest to see City play over the years but that would be a rather pathetic game to play.

There are of course plenty of 'anti reds' who have been to more games than you and gromit put together, so your point is rather pitiful. Aren't you a West ham fan anyway?

I seem to recall you started it by calling out Dwyer for not attending. someone who attends more games than you from 6000 miles further away.

How do you know he attends more games than me?

Difference is we are now in a far better position to repay debt than at any time in our history!

How do you work that out? Almost £70 million owed to Tan. If he walked away and asked for his money back we would be in a pile of shit far bigger than Sam ever landed us in - cos we are in no position at all to pay it back.

 

[Clint Iguana]

Top of the league and we are squabling about shirt colours. THIS is why i hate Tan.

I think a welsh urban social is in order.

ETA - Trampie not welcome

Hae you checked to see how much money we are guaranted next season even if we finish bottom of the premiership?
