Tim Hartley
Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust Board member Tim Hartley has held talks with Swansea supporters, both clubs, supporter liaison officers, the police and Show Racism The Red Card ahead of the south Wales derby.
Following the success of the joint anti-racism action earlier this year, next month’s match against Swansea City has been allocated to Show Racism the Red Card Cymru.
The match has also been allocated to our campaign of ‘Rivals on the Pitch, United against Racism.’
· Both clubs, their supporters’ trusts and clubs will publish social media posts in the lead-up to the fixture.
· Educational workshops in schools celebrating Black History Month will be held.
· Selfie boards from South Wales Police will help raise awareness of hate crime.
· Show Racism the Red Card will provide T-shirts for the players’ warm-up.
· The clubs’ joint pledge of ‘Rivals On The Pitch, United Against Racism’ will be used on the day of the match and in the match programme.
The Trust believes that there is no place for racism in football nor in society. We must all stand up and call out any such behaviour.
