Attended the meeting this morning to decide whether to form a Supporters Trust for Cardiff City which I was so pleased to get unanimous approval for the 100 or so who attended at Wales National Sports Centre.
The meeting was well organised with guest speakers from the Southampton Trust and Kevin Rye, the Supporters Trust Chairman, plus many fans asking questions in a good Q&A session.
The aims are simple but cover areas where our club have badly lacked over the years. Initially, it is to approve a board to have dialogue with the club representing all members views. Currently, as we know, that doesn't happen at all and the only ones who seem to have the ear of Ridsdale and co are mainly the same people who used to move with Sam Hammam.
Eventually, it has to be an aim to have a Fan Director so that there is more understanding, co-operation and community between us.
It may sound idealistic but there are now plenty of examples where this works around the country so why not Cardiff City?
There will be a full launch later this summer but for now, take a look at the Trust website www.ccfctrust.org
