TOGETHER AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Football is for everyone. We might support different teams, but football unites and inspires us.
It is a game with many opinions. But there is one on which we should all agree.
Racism and discrimination is not welcome in our game. So if you hear it, report it - whether in the street, at Cardiff City Stadium or online.
And when you see players taking the knee ahead of the game as a simple and peaceful act of protest this season, please respect their choice.
Because we are all Together Against Discrimination.
KICK-OFF
Saturday's home fixture kicks off at 12:30pm.
SOL BAMBA | FOREVER A BLUEBIRD
This weekend marks one year since we sadly lost City legend Sol Bamba.
Sol was a hero to all of us, a leader in the dressing room and a true gentleman. His impact on our football club as a player and coach was immeasurable.
During the 14th minute, we are encouraging all supporters within CCS to join in a minute of applause as we remember a real City great.
