Trust News

A couple of Trust members have spare tickets available for the Ricky Tomlinson evening at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday, September 16th. Dave Jones is doing a Q&A and a comedian is also appearing.

Part of the ticket price will go to the Fred Keenor Statue Fund as will the proceeds from an auction of soccer memorabilia.It should be a great night.

If you’re interested please contact Graham Keenor at gkeenor@btinternet.com and Tim Hartley at tim.hartley@s4c.co.uk who have the spare tickets which cost £25 each.

The Fred Keenor Statue Fund Committee is delighted to announce that the message boards football match raised a fantastic £1,105.70.

This includes £17.20 donated on the day of the match between Mike Morris’ and Annis Abraham’s message boards. Mike’s team were victorious 4-2.

Fund Press Officer Phillip Nifield said: “Our appeal is a true grassroots campaign led by fans so we’re really delighted at the great efforts made by those who organised and took part in the fundraising match on Sunday, August 22^nd. Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work. They showed what can be done.

“Their contribution gives a great boost to our efforts to raise the funds needed to create a permanent tribute to Fred Keenor and the rest of the 1927 FA Cup winning team.

“We’d also like to encourage fans to become involved in fundraising. We have supporters running in the Berlin and Toronto marathons to raise money for the appeal but would like more to organise their own events. The more that can help out the quicker the statue will be erected at the Cardiff City Stadium.”

The Fred Keenor Statue Fund Committee would like to thank all those players and supporters who turned out at today’s messageboard match between those who use Mike Morris’ and Annis Abraham’s message boards. Mike’s team were victorious 4-2.

We’d also like to thank the team at Cardiff City for organising the stadium  tours and allowing use of the stadium facilities, including the changing rooms. And also to Scott Young and Jason Perry who attended.

We’ll let you know how much was raised once we receive the info.
