Re: May 7th, 2012. Ten years ago today

Let me ask you a question: if Cardiff City had stayed up in 2013/14 and subsequently established themselves as a Premier League club, do you think Vincent Tan would have reversed his ridiculous re-brand?

No

Yes. He wouldn't have wanted to but ultimately it would have been up to the fans who carried on going to keep embarrassing him-and embarrass him they did on a world scale. I remember the game at anfield where sky were mocking tan and a few others being in red at anfield but the entire away end was blue.

As long as the fan base was dressed in blue (an act mocked by many at the time) and singing blue songs etc I do think it would have been reversed.

Yes.

Fair enough. I think there's zero chance it would have happened, but there we go.

Do you think we would have gone Red if we beat Blackpool in the play off final.
In that sort of respect

Wasn't it down as someone's first post and lots of speculation of who it was - wrongly berated/abused at the time if I remember rightly

Shit period in our history but personally I don't think anyone was wrong or right whatever they decided to do in terms of going/not going - it was a personal decision

Re: May 7th, 2012. Ten years ago today

I didn't want red I didn't want to buy anything red all I knew was it was for a limited time.
I'm not knocking anyone who gave up or who kept going.
All I know is a few that bought the red shirts don't go anymore and a few that stopped going have come back and a few that didn't have not come back.
All I can say for myself at the time was when we lost it still hurt and when we won it still felt great.
If it didn't I would have given up

^^^^ this

I didnt buy anything red, though my mum got me a car sticker ( well its on suction cups ) as she does every year, this year it was in Red

we were still Cardiff City, still the same fans , in the grand scheme of things nothing had changed in that aspect, we just played in a different colour shirt ( which was wrong )

I just threw a dead cat like you do when you haven't got something to come back with.
Plain and simple.

Let's be honest it didn't take much to get him to change his mind anyway did it?

It lasted another half a season after relegation.

Oddly enough, it took poor results and seriously dwindling crowds before he changed his mind. He was onto his third manager by that point.

Re: May 7th, 2012. Ten years ago today

its amazing that 10 years on it still effects people even though they profess they dont care about the club anymore

10 years, might be time to move on and let it go life's too short
