For posterity I thought we best have a dedicated thread for today's events. Any updates throughout the day should be posted here.
Currently nothing has been announced, but here is what is what we are hoping for:
- A return to the blue home kit - perhaps for the beginning of next season.
- A new crest - thank the Lord for that! Possibly with a predominant bluebird on it.
Well I'm about to go to work and won't be done until about 6:30pm - I'm hoping to read a lot happy posts later on.

Presuming everything goes as it seems it will, there is a further suggestion this morning that City could apply to play in blue next Tuesday against Brighton. That would be the one game this season they could do that.
Given the "Scarfgate" game two years ago was also against Brighton, this would be an appropriate gesture...............

I was pleased to read last night that every single person who attended that meeting was well behaved... (i had a feeling a certain someones cretins may have kicked off)
I still cant help but feel.... (as i said previously)... that if we do return to blue there will be Terms & conditions tan will put in place.. i cant see him holding his hands up and saying 'ok guys i was wrong to change you to red ill change you back to blue'.. without a cost!

Latest from Walesonline is that City could play in blue at home for rest of season, provided opposition and match officials agree.

Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has confirmed the club is returning to blue with immediate effect.
The Bluebirds chief made the announcement in an official statement less than 24 hours after a meeting between other club officials and around 50 fans’ representatives at Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday evening.
Cardiff will wear their traditional colours for tomorrow’s Championship home clash with Fulham, and for the rest of the 2014-15 season, after gaining special permission from the Football League this morning to make the change.
Tan’s statement also confirmed:
* Cardiff will wear blue, not red, for their home matches throughout the 2015-16 campaign as well
* The club crest will have a prominent bluebird on it as the dominant image
* Season ticket prices will be reduced for those outside the five-year price freeze. Those who have been on the price freeze deal will see what the club call a minimal increase.

Full Tan statement:
The Christmas and New Year period has given me time to reflect on the events of the last year. Spending time with my family had a profound effect upon me. My mother, Madam Low Siew Beng, a devout Buddhist, who attended Cardiff City Football Club to watch them play, spoke to me on 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.”
My wish is to unite and make the Club successful and in order to achieve this I fully support the Board’s decision to implement the following changes:
1. Starting from Saturday, 10 January 2015 and until the end of this season, our home kit shall be Blue. Our Away Kit shall be Red. I would like to thank the Football League for their approval to facilitate my request.
2. For the 2015/16 season, Cardiff City’s home kit colour shall be Blue. Our Away Kit colour shall be Red.
3. The Club badge will be redesigned to reflect the dominance of the Bluebird, while celebrating the proud history and heritage of the Club. I also wish to incorporate elements representative of my culture and beliefs, which I hope are respected.
4. As the Chairman has explained, the debt to equity resolution is not straightforward.
We will deal with this in due course, with all decisions made in the best interest of the Club.
5. For the 2015/16 Season, Non Price Freeze Season Tickets will be reduced and Price Freeze Season Tickets shall be adjusted accordingly to match these prices.
I very much hope these steps will bring unity, success and happiness to our Club. The challenge ahead for us is enormous and I truly believe we will overcome these obstacles as a united Club. I believe with divine blessings, Cardiff City Football Club will achieve great success.
Warm regards
Vincent Tan Chee Yioun
