Return to blue imminent?

CoymayI couldn’t make the meeting held between the club and a group of what I understand turned out to be about 100 fans last night, but through the wonders of the internet, an audio record of the meeting is available, so people can get the next best thing.

Although there are plenty of reasons for optimism – for example;-

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2902537/Cardiff-owner-Vincent-Tan-consider-changing-club-colour-blue.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-verge-return-blue-8409793?

a final decision will be made following a Board meeting today, but it’s been emphasised that Vincent Tan will have the ultimate say on any return to blue.

Therefore, it seems best for me to leave things at that for now and then do a fuller reaction piece on here when there is more definite news either way – in this case though, the glass seems almost full to me!
