First topic message reminder :
It appears this is genuinely happening. They have a 200 follower strong twitter account and are applying for entry into the non league ladder.
The name. The name. The name. It gives me far more embarrassment to know we're going to be linked to causing that then anything Tan has done or potentially ever could do.

I wouldn't imagine there would be a problem, Manchester United have numerous trademarks etc over their name yet FC United of Manchester cropped up just down the road

I doubt we would have copyrighted the bluebird. That would be very costly and until you're a prem team there's no need really...unless this happens of course! Although Tan probably wouldn't see the need in protecting it

Exactly this. FCUM is ridiculous.Slumdog's Son™ wrote:It's quite an exciting thing to do and I wouldn't wish them any malice either, however if it does become the anti-Cardiff City bandwagon I believe it would, it becomes difficult to support it as much...
Regarding the formation of FC United of Manchester, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned the loyalty of fans who decided to form the splinter club and the motivation behind the forming of F.C. United in a 2006 book:
"I'm sorry about that. It is a bit sad that part, but I wonder just how big a United supporter they are. They seem to me to be promoting or projecting themselves a wee bit rather than saying, 'at the end of the day the club have made a decision, we'll stick by them'. It's more about them than us"

And for that reason, so would a Bluebirds team created out of spite, simply to draw supporters away from the City

I personally think this will be an ill informed crusade for personal rather than altruistic reasons which will not affect the support for City one jot... However if the previous City fans who support this idea can get it off the ground it will be as close to a win-win situation in the current circumstances as there can be

I offered to help them, something to do to kill some time whilst Im back in Cardiff as I have experience in creating forums, etc. but they declined. I saw their forum and it's laughable and not done to any seriousness.
I still don't get their plan either and the bluebird im pretty sure is protected so they could end up in court if that is actually the case as using even part of a copyrighted image in your own works is not allowed.
Surely it would have made more sense to get the club up and running and then start having fan pages and forums and so forth so people could get behind a physical entity rather than something that is just in the planning phase and may never get any further.
They're already banning people which I feel is hypocritical given they feel that Tan is doing what he likes yet they are treating potential supporters the same.
Im willing to give Tan the benefit of the doubt. If the name stays the same my respect for him will go back up for staying true to his word on that. He's never said that the bluebird will remain in the summer so that's not something I can use against him. If there is a compromise on the badge or it stays the same and the name does I'll be happy enough to plod along.
Setting up a new club is akin to setting up ASDA because you no longer like TESCO's way of doing things or their owners. As the organisation gets bigger it goes on to be a rival if anything else so its a waste of time. The only way I'll possibly show interest in it is if its in the Welsh League. If its in the English system its a rival to the club I fell in love with and the club I once hope returns.

This seems like a silly comment after Barney's words of wisdom there, but I just wanted to suggest... if those fans really have an issue and want to support a team that is at the bottom, but are giving things a go again, why not just support Barry Town FC?
They could do with a few more fans. Sure they have a dragon on their badge but no red in their kit instead a little bit of blue?

Totally agree.....but it seems some have a need to support a club that they can pretend is still 'their' Cardiff City - a high capacity for self-delusion.Kate1 wrote:This seems like a silly comment after Barney's words of wisdom there, but I just wanted to suggest... if those fans really have an issue and want to support a team that is at the bottom, but are giving things a go again, why not just support Barry Town FC?
