And without new players etc how long would those 20k have still turned up. we are still losing money witb crowds in excess of that.

If he did it is written down in unwritten law that everyone teases him about being a bandwagon jumper, glory hunting Johnny come lately.
This is pretty much the case for any of our little crowd who miss a match and is trebbled if more than one in a row is missed. Along the lines of sorry have we ever met before?, I don't recognise you, do you need us to explain any of the rules to you? Offside etc? That guy there is known as the referee. Etc etc.

Oh, please do tell why that might be. Love to hear this fascinating code of conduct that suddenly makes it 'out of order' for passionate, live long Cardiff fans to go watch a game. Or should it be seen as a form of punishment for failing to clap along with Tan's whimsically trashing of the club's heritage and tradition?

Maybe we'd drop a division or two but at last be free from the whims of our foreign owners who have already shown they don't give a flying fuck about the club's tradition.
But seeing as you're such a big supporter of our new overlords, perhaps you might detail the actual benefits that have been brought about by of us playing in red, or having a badge turned into a Wrexham knock-off or making the club play under the ludicrous strapline of Fire and Passion? They've no said that the investment would have come anyway, so why have you accepted it without a whimper?

But by your own admission you are no longer a passionate Cardiff City fan. If you cant be arsed to support the club this season how can anyone take you seriously if you suddenly want a ticket if we reach a cup final? cant you see what might be wrong with that?
editor

I'm not a passionate supporter of the rebranded RedBlueDragonBirds CCFC 'Fire & Passion' experience and I'm not stupid enough to blindly go along with Tan's ego-driven whims.
I'll always love the club though.
Now, how about you detail the actual benefits that have come from all these tradition-shredding changes?
1927
Funnier than he thinks he is.
You wont be wanting any cup final tickets then will you?
I would have thought the squad we have assembled was evidence of the benefits.
editor
hiraethified
Tan has said that the money would have come regardless of the rebranding.
So, please could you explain the benefits of us playing in red, having a sub-Wrexham badge and a shit corporate strapline? You went along with this, so please tell me why.

Also the fact that it says Fire & Passion with a bloody ampersand instead of the word "and" really really does my head in! It is embarrassingly poor

It could only happen at Cardiff. users of ccmb demanding that Malky provides and explanation of his transfer policy as we have £3.5m worth of player on the bench in Kimbo and Veli whatshisface that cant get a game. If we were bottom fair enough, but right now i dont think he has to explain fuck all to anyone.

Its got nothing to do with cardiff City tho, its a football league thing.

Oh, OK. So you think the fans shouldn't expect to be be involved in any aspect of the running of the club, yes?

Do customers of Tesco expect a say in the running of a supermarket?
editor
hiraethified
The fact that you're comparing a football club to a multi-national supermarket chain speaks absolute volumes.
So just to reiterate: you believe that fans shouldn't expect to be be involved in any aspect of the running of the club, yes?

If you don't like what's going on at Cardiff ed, why don't you just go and support Sainsbury's instead?

Aye. I remember them when they were just a corner shop grocers.

I wish I'd wake up and we were back in Div 4, crushing all before us and heading off for Euro jaunts courtesy of the Welsh Cup.
Infinitely more fun than following the cash-extracting, corporate-rebranded monster business we've turned into.

No. i am just being a realist. Football clubs ceased being about community years ago. Football clubs have tho continued to enjoy a romantic realtionship with HMRC and ther creditors, a sort of protected status that said they couldnt be allowed to go oit of business. the sooner everyone woke up to the fact that that is not the case the better. Like it or not we are now part of the bigger picture and the only way to stay in that picture is to get rich investors aboard.
the alternative is to go and watch Orient, or Leyton Orient, or London Orient of whatever they are called this week. Now that is selling your history. Atleast cardiff have not even been threatened with a name change, apart from when Sam came up with the idea. An idea never opposed by the same people now crying foul!
