\"Say<\/p>\n

It looks like Cardiff City really are going to ignore the wishes of their fans and push through the unwanted \u00a0rebranding of the club in return for a fat \u00a3100m foreign investment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the behest of our Malaysian investors, we’re going to see a\u00a0hundred\u00a0years of tradition going out the window, with the blue strip and Bluebird logo changing to a red strip and red dragon\u00a0badge because –\u00a0apparently\u00a0– people find those colours prettier<\/em> in the Far East.<\/p>\n

So we’re trading tradition for – at best – a future of mid table mediocrity in the\u00a0Premiership.<\/p>\n

I’d rather hang on to our traditions, culture, soul and identity and \u00a0play in the fucking Conference than have us dress up pretty for the investors.<\/p>\n

It’s obvious that the club don’t give a flying fuck what the fans think, but I’ve\u00a0signed the petition here<\/a>. Please do the same.<\/p>\n

Oh, and click here for a bigger version of the graphic above<\/a>, which you’re free to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
