Was it worse than the Rebrand?

[Pedro de la Rosa]

This was always my feeling on the red shirts. We were over a barrel. We had no chips in that game of poker, so we took a reprieve.

I honestly couldn't get worked up about it, knowing it would all be a short lived fad. It didn't look right on the eye, but I knew it was still Cardiff City FC. Fair play to those who felt more strongly, and who campaigned, but for me it was enjoy the moment and the investment.

The crowning moment is still that time if / when we get promoted and play in our more natural colours in the Premier League. It won't help our chances per se, but it will go down on that list of kits that is bandied around on here.

Of more concern to me personally, is we get enough fans through the gates this season to FORCE the doors open of the extra tier, giving us 30k plus crowds.

I wasn't so sure it was temporary, and I'm sure others felt like that. If we'd stayed up, we might still be there now and we'd be in red still in all likelihood; and I wouldn't have a football club to support. For me, I thought getting relegated would be the only way to reverse the rebrand. I'll admit to being extremely bitter but there were some days, I'd see the score and were happy we'd lost. I wanted to be big enough to get over it but I was too petty, and remember feeling very conflicted when Cala scored the winner against Southampton. Anyway, all in the past now, onwards and upwards!
