Trust members who travel away are invited to take part in the FSF Away Fans Survey for the 2014-2015 season.
They want anyone who has been to an away game so far to complete the survey and those who plan to go to an away game in the near future to complete this afterwards as well. The link to the survey will always be on the home page of our website.

In a statement today following media reports on comments allegedly made by Cardiff City’s former manager Malky Mackay, Tim Hartley, chair of Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust, said: “The Trust condemns without reservation any racist, homophobic and sexist comments whenever and wherever they are made.
“We have spoken out against issues like homophobic chanting at football matches and in 2013 issued a statement on the subject https://www.ccfctrust.org/?p=2875. We are also organising a Trust five-a-side football tournament in October involving ethnic minority and faith groups to celebrate friendship through football.
“We are not privilege to the details of the dossier concerning alleged comments made by our former manager Malky Mackay. The Football Association has been sent documents by the club and we await the outcome of any investigation. It would be wrong of us to speculate further at this stage without any detailed information being made available.”
We proud to announce that a cheque for £7,330 from the sale of the first batch of Trust alternative blueshirts was presented to Tŷ Hafan today.
Pictured left is Jen O’Brien,whose two-and-half-year old son, Oscar sadly passed away at the children’s hospice in June. Even at such a young age, Oscar was a massive Bluebirds fan who had his own blue shirt.
Jen accepted the cheque from City fan Daniel Evans, aged 9. They are pictured with Lynne Carter, Fundraising of General Manager of Ty Hafan, whose website is www.tyhafan.org
Jeremy Jackson, a director of Tŷ Hafan said: “We are extremely grateful to Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust, Kukri Sports and Wales Online (The Echo) for their generous support of Tŷ Hafan.
“Tŷ Hafan currently cares for 260 life limited children. The cost of the hospice and community care we provide is about £10,000 a day. For each shirt sold, Tŷ Hafan receives £5 and so the first 1,500 shirts sold has really helped us to provide care for almost one full day, the importance of which to our children and their families is inestimable.”
Tim Hartley, chair of the Cardiff City Supporters Trust, said, “It’s great that the Trust can support Tŷ Hafan and the very valuable work it does. We have raised almost ten thousand pounds already for life limited children through the sale of our blue City shirts. We are proud of our club’s heritage and of our continued support for Ty Hafan.”
The group picture includes Mervyn Ham, chair of Tŷ Hafan, Lynne Carter, Tŷ Hafan, Phil Morris of Kukri, Trust chair Tim Hartley, board member Brian Mertens and Sian Branson of Bluebirds Unite who is a Trust member.
Kukri has told us that it has 500 shirts in stock so deliveries will be quicker than previously so please support Ty Hafan’s marvellous work while also backing the campaign to return the club to blue.
