FRED KEENOR NEEDS YOUR HELP!
The Fred Keenor Statue Committee will next month (April) launch its campaign to raise funds to erect a statue to honour Cardiff City’s legendary FA Cup winning captain. We’ve already had significant support from Cardiff Council, which has pledged £15,000, and £1,000 has also been promised by the Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust board. We need […]
TRUST SET TO MEET TG OVER CITY INVESTMENT
Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust has asked potential investor Dato Chan Tee Ghee (TG) to meet its board members when he next visits Cardiff. On his return to Kuala Lumpur, TG told board member Anthony Wedlake, who contacted him on behalf of the Trust, that he hoped that meeting could take place ahead of the Cardiff City-Swansea […]
WIN-WIN SHOPPING SCHEME LAUNCHED BY TRUST
FANS can help raise funds for Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust by using a website which links into more than 2,000 of the UK’s best-known retailers.
It won’t cost you a penny extra to shop via “Easy Fundraising” but it does mean that the Trust will receive up to 15 per cent from every online purchase made from the website.
Once you’re logged on you shop with the retailer directly and complete your transaction online.
John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Next, Amazon, Dell, Argus, WH Smith, HMV and National Express are among the big names you can link to from the website.
The site even has a special offers page which is regularly updated with new Internet-only discounts, special offers and even money saving eVouchers. There are hundreds of offers, many are exclusive to easyfundraising members, so you won’t even find them on the retailer’s own website or in-store.
Trust board member Anthony Wedlake, who has been behind the initiative, said: “Like all organisations we are always looking at ways to raise funds for our work.
“This online scheme is very hugely popular among supporters’ trusts in the UK, charities, schools and other good causes. We know that the East StirlingshireTrust in Scotland which helped us has found it financially rewarding.
“It’s really a win-win scheme for the Trust, our members and City supporters in general.”
Statement from Dave Sugarman (Membership Secretary)
It is with regret that I hereby announce my resignation as a member of the board of directors of the Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust with immediate effect.
Having carefully considered my position, I have reached the conclusion that my involvement with the Trust at board level is proving divisive and is having a detrimental effect on the organization’s continuing development.
Since November 2007, when work to establish a supporters’ trust for Bluebirds fans first began, a small group of mostly-anonymous antagonists have seemingly been hell-bent on using my personal views and opinions about our football club in their incessant quest to undermine the Trust’s credibility.
Some of the people concerned have apparently been unable to differentiate between things I have said as an individual supporter and statements I have made as a Trust representative, despite the differences being crystal clear.
Sadly, the situation has deteriorated rapidly in recent weeks due to comments I made before and after the protest march which took place a fortnight ago. The opinions I expressed about that event, which were very obviously my own, have wrongly been attributed to the Supporters’ Trust.
COUNCIL TO HELP FUND KEENOR STATUE
Cardiff Council has thrown its support behind a plan to build a statue in honour of Cardiff City’s legendary FA Cup winning captain Fred Keenor. Keenor famously lifted the cup at Wembley Stadium in 1927 after the Bluebirds beat Arsenal 1-0 to become the only team outside of England to win the coveted trophy. The […]
