Trust chair Tim Hartley received the following letter from Victoria Rogers, manager of the Cardiff Story Museum at the Old Library.

“The Cardiff Story Museum will be holding an event on 23^rd July – From 1899 to now: a celebration of Cardiff City FC’s history.  The event is aimed at fans, to celebrate the club’s rich heritage, and maybe help ‘regroup’ and look forward to the new season and the goal of regaining promotion. 

Richard Shepherd, the club’s historian and archivist,, has very kindly agreed to speak about the club’s history.We will be showing rare archival footage, artefacts and photographs from his collection, and we are hoping that a few special guests will come along to meet those attending.

We will be running the event as a fundraiser, to raise money to support our learning and community outreach work.

As you know, the museum experienced a 52% cut in our budget this year.  Over the last three years we have worked with over 130 community groups on a variety of projects, have welcomed over 6,000 school children and 878,000 visitors from all over Cardiff, the UK and the world to discover more about Cardiff, the people who have lived and woked here, and what makes the city special.

We have some great projects lined up this year (including obviously, the project we’re doing with the Supporters’ Trust on the intergenerational project, training young fans in recording the memories of older fans), but in order to continue this work, we need to fund raise.

Tickets can be booked – at an ‘early Bluebird special’ rate – either through the museum, or by ringing the Tourist Information Centre on 029 2087 3573.”

We have been made aware of problems on the Kukri site which have now been resolved.

Trust member Phil Jones, who has spearheaded the initiative, said: “Free postage is available if buyers insert the code FREEPOSTCCS.”

Phil has been told by the manufacturers that all fans that have paid postage up until now will have it refunded.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

The fans have had their say on the alternative blue shirt that they would like the Trust to have produced – and the famous 1970s shirt was the narrow winner over the traditional blue. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/revealed-cardiff-city-alternative-blue-7271543

The fantastic support of fans and Wales Online and the South Wales Echo must send an even stronger message to club owner Vincent Tan – RED IS DEAD.

Supporters are now urged to continue the campaign by buying the winning designed shirt from sports manufacturers Kukri – and remember £5 from every sales goes to the wonderful work of the children’s hospice at Sully, Ty Hafan. This is a win-win situation.

Special thanks should go to Trust member Phil Jones for his tireless work to make this happen. Thanks also to all other supporter groups and message boards for their backing and we urge them to encourage their members and regular users of the message boards to buy the shirt.

Fans now have a choice – and really it is no choice – between Mr Tan’s dreadful red and the Trust shirt complete with a large Bluebird on the shirt. And the shirts we have been shown are an excellent quality.

​Commenting on the resignation of Simon Lim as chief executive of Cardiff City, Keith Morgan, a board member of Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust and a football finance expert, said: “We wish Simon Lim good luck for the future. As a Trust, we always felt that Simon, although always polite, did not have the power to act in the way one might normally expect of someone in such a senior role such as a chief executive.
