A definite victory for the fans, showing that peaceful protest and opposition sometimes does pay off! Well done to everyone involved in getting a bit of their club back.
Have to give a bit of credit where credit is due to the owner (Tan) and the club for going ahead with it with immediate effect.
Story short is that 2 seasons back, Vincent Tan (the CCFC owner) demanded the club changes it's club colour to red (from blue) and he would inject many millions of pounds into the club. This has been opposed by the clubs fans heavily ever since the change.

More like Cardiff got diddly squat in shirt sales from Asia, given the likes of United, Liverpool, Arsenal and many other teams playing in red dominated the market. The amount of real fans who refused to buy a red shirt probably meant that shirt sales revenue was actually worse off than before the decision was taken; I don't think he can dress it up as rediscovering the club's roots. It's great news for the supporters of course, but the reasons in my view are borne out of finances, not altruism.

More like he switched it to red for good luck and they got relegated. Plus it can't feel good upsetting the Welsh.
