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.

Order through www.teamshopbuilder.co.uk/cardiffcitysupporterstrust

Adult shirts are £27 and children’s £22 for short sleeve shirts and £29 and £24 for long sleeve and £5 from every sale goes to Ty Hafan. Postage is free if buyers insert the code FREEPOSTCCS

Thanks to everyone that has already bought a shirt.

The official club home shirt won’t be available in the shops for another month, so why not order the shirt that properly respects the club’s history and tradition.

Blue is what Cardiff City is about – not some other colour that has been imposed on the club and its fans by owner who ignores the wishes of supporters.

We’ve sold around 2,000 shirts now but we want to sell more – it would also make a great Christmas gift for those living away from the city.

If you haven’t yet ordered a shirt then you can feel the quality at the Trust office (near Gate 5) tomorrow.

We will have 4 of the alternative shirts available for people to view and try on if needed. They are an XL, medium, small (ladies) and a 7-8 year-old’s. Trust members will also be wearing other sizes.

The shirt must be ordered online @ https://www.teamshopbuilder.co.uk/cardiffcitysupporterstrust. Postage is free if buyers insert the code FREEPOSTCCS.

Adult shirts are £27 and children’s £22 for short sleeve shirts and £29 and £24 for long sleeve and £5 from every sale goes to the Ty Hafan hospice.

In a statement this week, suppliers Kukri Sports said: “We intend to put a stock of shirts in place next week that will allow fans to receive their order within 24 hours (if it is in stock).” Deliveries have been taking up to four weeks.

The Trust office is open from two hours before kick-off – on Saturday it will be from 1pm to 2.45pm.

The following email was sent to Trust chair Tim Hartley and Vince Alm of Cardiff City Supporters Club.

The statement reads:

Dear Tim and Vince

On behalf of the Sky Blue Trust, I am writing to express huge thanks for the contribution of Cardiff’s fans to the protest at Sixfields last night.

The tremendous solidarity of football supporters is extremely encouraging for all of us who feel that the way football is being run must be changed.

Our two great clubs are prime examples of the need for that. Working together, in the way we have, must, in the long run, help to bring about radical change. I hope we can continue to collaborate as our protest movements continue.

Please pass on our thanks to all the Cardiff fans who contributed to the protest last night

I thought Cardiff were clearly the better side last night although I drew some comfort from the second half.  Needless to say, I was not inside Sixfields!

With very best wishes

Roger Ellis
Secretary, the Sky Blue Trust
