Question for one of the contestants was “ In 2015, which football club was forced by fans to change its shirt colour from red back to the traditional blue”
The contestant, chaser and Bradley all got it right.
Unless my memory is shot, was it really the fans who forced the u-turn? I thought the majority bought into it when we went up to the promised land?

Yes. Lucky guess by the contestant. He thought Erik Ten Hag was Japanese!

Not sure of the definition of 'forced' but it sounds about right to me. The protests only grew and grew until the rebrand was reversed. I despised the rebrand and the protests were one of my favourite times as a City fan, weirdly.

Do you support the Club or colour of the shirt? There are many Clubs that have changed colours, City did in circa 1909 from chocolate and amber to blue and white. Leeds are another so-called big club from blue/gold quarters to all white at the insistence of Don Revie who wanted them to be the Real Madrid of England. It’s not a big deal.

I think you're in the minority with that statement.
Along with many others, I continued to wear blue throughout our "red" period, and I believe our continued protests did force Vinnie into the change back to blue.
He put out the story of his mum telling him to do so just to try to save face ("it was mu mum, not you fans")

If you think cardiff city changing their colours was not a big deal then you are either delusional or being daft for the sake of it

Don't think they've ever changed kit colour.

Imo, if we’d have beaten Blackpool in the play off final, the colour change would never have happened.
If we’d have stayed up under Malky, and kicked on a bit, we’d still be in red now.
The biggest protests seem to start when we were struggling in the prem.

It was after we got relegated and the numbers dropped like a stone.
The vast majority of the away support remained blue all through, so not everyone bought into it.

I seem to remember we went back to blue almost immediately after an exceptionally low attendance on tv. So arguably the chase question is correct but I’d say the change was forced through apathy rather than action

It wasn't just the fans, but they definitely had a say in it

I don’t think many bought into it, but it’s funny what success can do.
