CARDIFF CITY SUPPORTERS TRUST launched in spectacular style tonight with more than 300 fans turning up at the Electricity Club in Pontcanna on a rotten night, more than 200 of them signing up 'on the spot' for membership, the rest taking forms away or joining on-line.The Trust has objectives to engage with the Club, consult with them on fan matters, represent the club in the community and the ultimate aim of holding sufficient shares to have an influence, or even representation, in the Boardroom.
It was a fantastic effort by Corky (Acting Chairman) and everyone who put last night together and for their your work and dedication for several months to get to that stage. Last night was fitting testimony to their efforts and the passion of our fans for our club.

The F.A. Cup was on display for supporters to have their photo taken, there were several stands selling souvenirs, supporters club, supporters direct, football against racism and more and club mascot Bartley Bluebird was present in a new outfit.
The serious part of the evening was a presentation on the trust and aims by key Supporters Trust delegates from London and a couple talking about Cardiff City and how it works before the 'legends' Phil "Joe" Dwyer, Jason "Psycho" Perry and Andy Legg Legg Legg signed as the first three honorary members with the Trust's three membership schemes named after them.

The second half of the evening was a Q&A brilliantly hosted by BBC Wales Rob Phillips with the legends and also ex-ref Keith Cooper, Media Wales' banned City reporter Steve Tucker and Kevin Rye of Supporters Direct which was hugely enjoyable, funny at times and also heated at others with questions about safe standing, hardest footballers, the perceived 'media bias' towards egg chasing, the game today and matters at Cardiff City.
I look forward to seeing the Trust go from strength to strength, I'll be signing up and assigning my small number of club shares over to it ... every little helps.
