City supporters show their support for the Trust blue shirt being sold in aid of Ty Hafan

Matthew Pritchard of Dirty Sanchez fame joined fans  of the Bluebirds to show their backing for the Trust blue shirt campaign.

They are pictured showing off the shirt. As of today, a total of 1,700 shirts have been sold. Thanks for your fantastic support.

Shirt manufacturers Kukri are working to a 20 working day schedule but demand is such that it is best to order as quickly as possible to ensure that you get your shirt in time for the new season.

And remember £5 from every sale goes to Ty Hafan which means £8,500 has already been raised. Adults shirts are just £27 and children £22.

Order through https://www.teamshopbuilder.co.uk/cardiffcitysupporterstrust. Postage is free if buyers insert the code FREEPOSTCCS.

This initiative, the brainchild of Trust member Phil Jones, has the support of all fan groups as well as the two City messageboards – and remember £5 from every sale goes to the children’s hospice. The Trust is not taking a single penny from the sale of shirts.

Village Manchester FC beat Cardiff City Deaf FC in the final on penalties.

Celebration of Cardiff City Football Club exhibition

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 23rd 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.”
