Thanks. Heard it mentioned numerous times but never really knew how it’s made up Not Club employees then or with any representative from ou fan base? Does every club have one?

I believe they are mostly, if not all, from outside the club. It’s possible the likes of David Storr have been involved at the very least as Club representatives. No fan representatives though and they make themselves very difficult to contact and gain access to minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted November 4, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Can someone at the club decide if they want active supporters or not please? Yesterday texts and tweets were flying about encouraging us to take on the FA over this Bailey Wright injustice. Today, I understand Jnr and Dave Storr decide to mess up a display fans had spent 5 hours of their free time creating. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

MrBibs Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 It would be interesting to ask the Cardiff fans who regularly post on here what they would have thought about a cross of St George (and what they thought about the Croatian flag)........ Oh hang on a minute. They lost. I forgot they only show on here when they've beaten us, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH2 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 I asked my Cardiff mate before the game if it would matter to him if we did the St George flag before the game, he said no and couldn't understand the fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 My understanding is that the fans paid for the card, and it was at considerable expense, and this was manipulated into a display more acceptable by the club. I think this is quite insulting. Who usually pays for these sort of displays, e.g. The Leicester Poppy one? I think the club have handled this badly and should offer compensation to the fans group who after all spent their money and couldn't do what they intended, which wasn't unreasonable anyway. The club got a 'nice' display and didn't pay a penny. And that's wrong in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have been bothered about the St. George's Cross display, we get fans mostly singing England songs every week at CCS. No big deal. Unfortunately it looked a mess from where I was which is a shame for those who put the effort into preparing it. Thanks for coming on. I didn't think for one minute it would cause any real offence or bother when I was helping set it up last night - otherwise I wouldn't have got involved. I only did a couple of hours - but one poor lad put in over 7 hours - It was a LOT of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Army Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Rangers looked quiet impressive for remembrance..Its a shame the club messed around with ours and the hours spent..It did look a bit of a mess.The club sometimes makes strange decisions more of late.

Natchfever Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Proper cardiff would have seen it properly. Not provocative at all because we know how many welsh died and still do for the UK Some might have acted like cocks though. It demonstrates that maybe the ultra type displays should interest the club to the extent that it is aware of everything proposed and have a protocol in place. Not knocking the club but such a shame.

Wales has had close links to the armed services for a few hundred years now and has I believe contributed above its weight per capita, certainly to the army. Yes mate no doubt about that.

The Constant Rabbit Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 The thing that shits me the most is that someone A nameless, faceless someone, just decided to do this. Because they could. And used people the club are paying (stewards) to do the dirty work whilst hiding away. This festering unaccountable underbelly seeps throughout the UK, deciding what people can do, when they can do it and never answer to anyone. Bristol Sport need to get the person responsible to publically explain their actions - their name, face and position. The silence was to be respected for all UK servicemen, the cards up later. An English Flag, in England. Banned by a faceless, nameless coward. And the EU wonder why nationalism is increasing. Because of pointless, insulting actions like this, with no-one to be held to account. A disgrace. A total disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
