The Fred Keenor statue will be unveiled before the Hull City game on Saturday, November 10.

To mark this historic occasion, we will be publishing a 32-page special limited edition commemorative brochure which will be sold on the day – at the ground, the Trust and supporters’ club offices and the club shop and we are looking for volunteers to help sell the magazine before the game.

We intend to sell the magazine outside the ground from 1-1.30pm, so if you can help sell the magazine before kick-off, please email fundraising@ccfctrust.org with your name and contact details, including phone number.

We will contact you nearer the unveiling to finalise arrangements.

Many thanks

City fan and Trust member David O’Mara from Fairwater needs your help to collect as many old football shirts as possible for needy children and young people.

‘Dai Poland’ as he is popularly known has been active for many years organising charity visits to good causes in Poland and the Ukraine.

Dai said: “Outside the big cities things are still pretty desperate for people in Poland, Ukraine and Moldova. The youngsters over there really love football but can’t afford replica kits. They are so grateful when they receive shirts and it would be great if City fans can help put a smile on their faces by donating any old kit they don’t need.”

If you have any old football shirts, they don’t have to be Cardiff shirts, then please bring them to the Trust office before any home match day. Dai will then take the shirts to villages in eastern Europe. You can see a short video Dai has made of his work here – https://youtu.be/arZ0aHwwU2s

So go through your wardrobe and get the family’s old shirts together and drop them off at the Trust office at the ground before the Leeds United game.

Tim Hartley, chair of Cardiff City Supporters Trust, commenting on the passing of Simon Insole, said: “Simon was always so very helpful to me and my family and friends, especially when we have travelled away with Cardiff City.

“He did so much to restore the image of the club over the last few years and he will be sadly missed around the Cardiff City Stadium. We offer our condolences to Simon’s family and friends.”
