As members may be aware, tickets for the pre-season friendly with German Bundesliga giants VFL Wolfsburg on August 2 will initially only be on sale for the newly developed Ninian Stand.

We have been asked by a couple of individual members to point that any fans who don’t want to sit on red seats are able to purchase blue covers on the internet. They are being sold by several sellers on ebay at prices from £1. Alongside is one examplehttps://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371037024369.

Please note for clarity,  this is not a Trust initiative and board members are not recommending members or fans buy the covers – only that they are available because many supporters feel strongly about the red seats.

Supporters Direct and the Football Supporters’ Federation will host the joint annual Supporters Summit in London at Wembley Stadium on July 26, bringing fans together from across the UK and Europe.

Fans and supporters’ organisations will debate the key issues at the heart of the game and one of the stand-out sessions will involve discussion of the ongoing campaign to return the Back to Blue at Cardiff City.

The sessions will  include high profile figures from  football, sport, media and politics, including Clive Efford  MP, who is Shadow Sports Minister and Valerio Casagrande, Chief Financial Officer of Italian Serie B and Pat Lyons, chair of the Irish FORAS Trust and Cork City FC.

Trust board member Brian Mertens will be among the panellists on a discussion about Protecting Club Identity along with Chris Cooper (City Till we Die), Clive Efford  and Mark Harris (of Witton Albion FC and the Evo-Stick NorthernPremier League). It will be chaired by Jacqui Foster of Supporters Direct.

Trust member Jeff Mansfield will also be present at the event which also has sessions on Away Fans, Fixing Football, Supporter Liaison Officers, Licensing System, Fans and the media, Fans for diversity, Financial Fair Play, Supporters’ Trusts, Safety Advisory Groups and a Q&A by the Blizzard.

The AGMs of both organisations will be held on the evening of July 25.

Last year’s Supporters Summit, held at St. George’s Park, included debates on governance, ownership, transparency, ticket pricing, discrimination and safe standing.

You can now view the alternative blue shirt at several Ty Hafan shops – and feel the quality.

Trust member Phil Jones, who has spearheaded the development of the alternative match quality shirt, said: “Ty Hafan has informed us that the shirts are now on display (with information leaflets) at Ty Hafan shops in Albany Road and Whitchurch in Cardiff, Holton Road, Barry and Penarth.

“There are a variety of men’s, women’s and kids shirts on display. The shirt will be in Ty Hafan’s Newport city centre store early next week.”
