' CITY - THE SEASON '

Sun Dec 08, 2013 10:15 pm

I went to the launch of CITY - THE SEASON in Queens Arcade today and was very impressed by the quality of the book, Bart has done an excellent job in photographing the story of our championship winning season with the backdrop of the rebrand, there are superb photos in there demonstrating the feelings of our fans and Bart shows his love of art through his images.

This is a great book for City fans and with Christmas heading towards us very fast I can recommend this book as an excellent present for any City fan of any age.

Order the book following the link below in time for Christmas :ayatollah:

http://www.bartosznowicki.co.uk/BOOK-City-The-Season :thumbup: :malky: :ayatollah:

This is not a story of the club but of the people who support it – Bartosz Nowicki :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

CITY – The Season follows Cardiff City FC fans during the 2012-13 campaign, when the Bluebirds wore red. Nowicki presents his own record of the season, weaved in with text from City fans to celebrate the club’s charge to the Premier League and explore issues of identity and belonging generated by the club’s controversial rebrand.
Nowicki gets to the heart of what it means to follow Cardiff City, home and away, the anguish and excitement of watching the game, journeys to away grounds by cramped coaches, the harrying presence of stewards and police, the drinking, the singing and the joke playing and always the colours, shirts and tattoos that were the contested symbols of belonging during a season in which, according to Nowicki 'the shadow of the rebrand followed us to every corner of Britain’.

The book includes text from renowned authors and columnists: Annis Abraham Jnr (the author of 6 books, which have sold in excess of 160000 copies); Carl Curtis (South Wales Echo and Wales Online); and James Leighton who wrote the acclaimed biography of Manchester United legend, Duncan Edwards, which became the no. 1 bestselling football book on Amazon.
The book contain never before published photographs of supporters, but it also includes behind the scenes insights, such as meetings between former owner Sam Hammam and current owner Vincent Tan as well as Hammams meeting with fans in the Holland House Hotel. Of course, as befits a book about a football club, you will also find photographs of players, including Craig Bellamy, David Marshall and Matt Connolly.
