Today's Kit

First topic message reminder :

I think like most other founder members of this board, I was never a fan of the red kit and would have preferred blue but didn't see it as a huge obstacle to my enjoyment and watching of the City. In fact I was grateful to Tan for pumping money into the Club and making us successful initially.
However, I think there has been a wind of change blowing through the Club this season whereby previously moderate supporters are wondering what the hell the powers that be at the Club (i.e. Tan presumably) are doing. Now the feelgood factor has gone, it would be so easy to say that a change back to blue is on the way to bring 99% of supporters back into the fold (the former 'in crowd' will never be happy until they are back 'in').
Consequently I have been disappointed with the pig headed refusal to consider any form of compromise. Sadly, today's kit is almost the last straw. An away game against a team wearing red is the perfect time to turn out a team in blue to cheer up over 1,000 supporters who paid good money to travel to Bournemouth at an expensive time of year. What did they get? - All white with red trim!! I really think that was taking the proverbial and raising two fingers to supporters.
I have been watching the team a long, long time but are now feeling more disillusioned than I have ever been - I was around when we near the bottom of the Football League but it was still fun and it was my team. Sadly, I don't really feel like that any more and have been going less and less this season. I spoke to a friend today who is also a very long standing supporter and his comment to me was 'I'm losing interest, the Club is dying on its feet'.
It's all rather sad.

No ulterior motives in the decision.

..........but why lie about a colour clash, when it is so easily disproved.......

Can't understand why they came out with that reason, unless they didn't have the brainpower to answer correctly.

It's not brainpower that's the problem - it's just a complete lack of human decency. We're supposed to sit down and do what we are told and then be appreciative if we get thrown scraps.

Am I the only one who still doesn't care?

Nope. People het up over nothing. They should be having a go at the morons who attacked fans on Saturday, not about the colour of a shirt.

I don't like this sort of accusation - that being angry about one thing means I'm also unable to be angry about other things simultaneously. It's like saying because I'm angry about the shirt debacle I'm therefore not angry about the Taliban murdering children, as an extreme example

Like most on here, I've never been het up about the colour of the shirt although all white is a step too far.
However, I am getting fed up with the lies and misinformation which the Club seems to put out these days.

Granted, that is far more irritating in my book but I'll be honest and say I've never known the club to do it any other way. I was pretty oblivious to such things as a kid but for the last 15-20 years it's been a fairly constant stream of bullshit coming out of the PR Department.

I'd like to see Bartley Wilson back in charge. It's disgraceful that he used to run the club honestly and succesfully but since Tan took over he's just a mascot.
