Cardiff City board will discuss return to blue after fans' meeting

Cardiff City will hold a board meeting on Friday where the club will discuss a possible return to blue.

Club officials consulted a cross-section of fans at a meeting called at Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday by owner Vincent Tan.

Tan has been at the heart of Cardiff's controversial rebrand from blue to red in 2012.

"I think Vincent will give this a great deal of consideration," said Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman.

Tim Hartley, chairman of the Cardiff City Supporters' Trust, said fans had given a clear message to the club who he felt were listening, but added: "I won't believe anything until I see that team running out in blue."

He's agreed. Great win for their fans.

In a statement, he said he had reflected over Christmas and the New Year.

Tan said spending time with his family had "a profound effect", and credited his mother with reminding him of "the importance of togetherness, unity and happiness".
Cardiff City Football Club is important to me and I wish to see it united and happy.

With the guidance, blessing and influence of my mother, I asked my Chairman, Mehmet Dalman and Chief Executive Officer, Ken Choo for their advice and to consult with a good cross-section of the fan base.

This meeting took place last night, when some seventy representatives of our supporters were present. My thanks and gratitude to those who gave up their evening and time to be there. I am informed that this was a very productive and frank exchange of views, but all with the same objective to strengthen our Club. These views were also added to by a large number of emails that were sent to the Club over the last 24 hours from our wider supporter base.

To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, “Let us never compromise out of fear. But let us never fear to compromise.

Tan confirmed Cardiff City will play in blue kit for home games for the rest of the season, with a red kit for away games.

The arrangement will continue for the 2015/16 season.

I have a lot of friends who are Cardiff fans and they are absolutley delighted with the turn around!!
 
Fantastic news for them. I was in Cardiff recently and spoke to quite a few of their fans...it's disgraceful what Tan did to the club. I've noticed he's requested a new badge which, though it will feature a large bluebird, will still 'incorporate elements of his beliefs'. Still, not a bad price to pay overall - safety from administration and a season in the top league over having a different badge. We're lucky our owner isn't mental.

I wonder what they're going to do with all those new red seats!!

Badges do change and aren't quite so integral to the club identity is the main strip colour though.
