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?
You need to try harder.
Did you see the question on the show?Quote:

It wasn't the Fans it was Vinny's mums ideaQuote:

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.Quote:

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 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.

WUM
Ignore.

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.Quote:
