Tŷ Hafan thanks Trust for its support

January 11, 2015

A message from Tŷ Hafan to Trust chair, Tim Hartley, after members helped in a bucket collection at the Cardiff City Stadium

Hi Tim

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for yesterday.  The support we have had from the Trust has been outstanding and we really appreciate your support.

Please pass on my thanks to all of the Trust members who gave up their time to collect for us on Saturday.  I’m looking forward to getting the money counted this week to find out how much we made.

And congratulations for finally going back to blue!  I’m sure that the Tŷ Hafan blue shirts must have helped the cause significantly

Best wishes

Bluebirds!

A message of thanks from Trust chair Tim Hartley

I would like to thank everyone who has kept the faith and supported the protracted campaign to return to blue. The Trust has been very proud to work alongside all the groups who wanted a return to our traditional colours and crest and together we have achieved this. Well done everyone.

I hope today’s announcement will reunite the club with us the supporters so that everyone can move forward together. Yes, we are grateful to Vincent Tan for returning our club to blue so let’s ensure a massive turnout tomorrow to celebrate our history and traditions being restored.

The last 24 hours has highlighted the vital importance of regular, formal dialogue between football clubs and their supporters. We hope the club embrace this opportunity so that we can all move forward together in support of the Bluebirds.

Blue is BACK:

January 9, 2015

The Trust issued the following statement today after the club announced a return to blue at home.

Tim Hartley, chair of Cardiff City Supporters Trust, said: “This is blue letter day for Cardiff City and its fans. It reunites the club and its supporters so everyone can move forward together.

“We’re very grateful to Vincent Tan for returning our club to blue and hope supporters will turn out in very large numbers and wearing blue to celebrate.

“I’d love to see a carnival atmosphere at the Cardiff City Stadium with every fan getting behind the team and cheering them to victory against Fulham. Let’s fill the stadium.

“This whole episode has highlighted the vital importance of regular dialogue between football clubs and their supporters and we hope the club embrace that in the months and years ahead. As supporters we have the best interests of the club we love at heart and our views need to be taken into account.”

Supporters’ Meeting with the Club

January 8, 2015

Thanks to everyone who answered our appeal for questions to the club ahead of tonight’s meeting. I have sent a summary of all the responses to the club and to the Chairman, Mehmet Dalman. It is clear from the replies we received that the issues Trust members would like to be discussed are:

1) The rebrand – playing colours and crest

2) The conversion of Vincent Tan’s debt to equity

3) Season Ticket prices for the 2015-2016 season

4) An elected fans’ representative on the club board

5) A structured relationship and communication with fans

I have suggested to all those attending tonight that we focus on the first two issues as they have been uppermost in most supporters’ minds for the whole of this season. This meeting is an opportunity for the club to properly engage with fans and we look forward to playing our part in returning Cardiff City to playing in blue at the earliest opportunity.

Tim Hartley, Chair

An evening of football chat from the Scoular glory years

January 2, 2015

The Trust has organised an evening of great soccer chat on Thursday, January 22nd (7.30 for 8pm) at the Llandaff Institute in Llandaff, Cardiff.

Top sports writer, Peter Jackson, who reported on Cardiff City for the South Wales Echo, during the Jimmy Scoular glory years, will be talking about those days and he has some fascinating and funny stories to tell of his times working with Jimmy.

Peter will be in conversation with one of the legendary players from that era, Gary Bell and club historian, Richard Shepherd.

Richard will also be bringing along a file of classic photographs relating to that famous European Cup Winners’ Cup trip to Tashkent in 1968. It is hoped we will also be able to show a short film of the Torpedo Moscow trip.

The board has decided that entry will be free for all fans, although we hope you will sign up as a Trust member on the night.

Limited places are available so admission will be on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to attend you must register with your name and any guests by emailing members@ccfctrust.org.

We look forward to seeing you on the night.
