few rumours knocking about that cardiff's Malaysian owners are to enforce a change in colours and cardiff's stadium will have red seats and their home kits will be red. thoughts?

    Could this be spin to take focus away from another play-off flop?

    Sam Hammam tried to change them a decade or so ago. Never happened.

    They'll have to change from the bluebirds to the robins (or the redstarts, red breasted mergansers, red kites, redpolls, redwings or redshanks).

    Isn't it right that you don't get bluebirds in the uk, let alone Cardiff?

    Bluebirds to Red Dragons. Shows what feeling these foreign owners really have for the history of the club. Hope the Cardiff fans tell them where to poke the red anything. Unbelievable.

    This is just stupid! What a joke. I'd like it if they gradually faded the kits through purple to red and pretended it never happened.

    Bluebirds to Red Dragons.
    Red Dragons? ..... sounds like their Ladies vets team.

    Changing kit colours has been a regular feature of professional football. Palace has changed colours umpteen times, Millwall wore all white for years, Leeds changed from Gold and Blue to all white, CAFC had the white pyjama top with the red bib for a few years, Notts Co and WBA have gradually lost the stripey look for a more 'blocky' kit. Name changes: Palace from Glaziers to (don't laugh) Eagles, Sunderland from Mackems to 'Black Cats' (I detect a bebop influence in there somewhere). I don't really care if Cardiff is rebranded as 'The Birds of the Blue and Red Paradise', it will still be a tinpot club with more ambition than a sense of reality

    Well that's very kind of you Lincsaddick.

    I'm sure their supporters who have to travel into England every two weeks and follow their team through thick and thin see it the same way.

    To be fair to Sunderland they really had no choice but to change their nickname. They weren't called the Mackems, which is just a general nickname for people from Sunderland (like Scousers/Liverpool, Geordies/Newcastle, Cockneys/East London, etc.). They were known as the Rokerites, which they couldn't continue with one they no longer playered a Roker Park.

    The feelings of Cardiff supporters are totally irrelevant to me Uncle Tom. If Cardiff fans find the trip to England too arduous and they don't want to visit England then let them stay in the land of their fathers and play Bangor, Llanelli and Caernavon on a regular basis. We'll see what the Malaysian investors think of that.

    Travel to away matches for Cardiff fans is hardly more arduous than for most clubs, is it?

    Bristol City v Cardiff, 30 minutes.
    London clubs 1 hour 30 mins plus; Midlands clubs not much more.
    The industrial wastelands of the north? no more arduous than our own journeys.


    Now the fans of clubs who do have it arduous are Plymouth, Exeter, Carlisle etc.

    Local derby: Carlisle v Preston, 47 miles.
    Argyle v Excreter, 47 miles; Argyle v Bristol Rovers, 100 miles.

    And Carlisle and Plymouth must be grateful that they don't play each other for a while!

    I should add that Bristol City (more than 100 miles) and Cardiff (even further mileage) are my 2 nearest Charlton fixtures for the coming Champs season.

    Oh well (puts on rose tinted specs), it'll be even worse when we're back in the Prem.......!!

    Can't you get a ferry Oggy? As the crow flies Cardiff must be fairly close.
