Tue Mar 08, 2022 12:22 pm

MY VIEW: CARDIFF CITY SHOULD GIVE 5,000 FREE TICKETS EVERY HOME GAME TO SCHOOLS IN SOUTH WALES / BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS / CCFC STADIUM CAPACITY 33,500 ( Current crowds barely 18,000 ).

That’s how I started going in 1972.






Cardiff City partner with HerGameToo


Cardiff City FC give 1,000 free tickets to women for this Saturday’s game v Preston.


CARDIFF CITY FC:

This International Women’s Day, Cardiff City Football Club is proud to announce its partnership with HerGameToo.

HerGameToo was setup in 2021 to help fight sexist abuse in football.

Saturday’s match at Cardiff City Stadium against Preston North End will mark our official dedicated fixture to the HerGameToo campaign as part of our ongoing stance that discrimination of all kinds will not be tolerated within our game.

Cardiff City FC Women will also show their support at a designated match this coming weekend, when we face off against Swansea City Ladies in the FAW Women’s Cup Semi-Final on Sunday.

The Bluebirds have two dedicated fixtures this weekend...
Lucy Ford, co-founder of HerGameToo explained: “HerGameToo is a movement set up by 12 female football fans with the aim to raise awareness of the sexist abuse in football. Our aim to tackle the misogynistic culture surrounding football so we can create a better and more inclusive atmosphere for female fans for now and the next generation.




"We feel it is important to have the support and backing of football clubs throughout the country, across all levels, so we are delighted to be partnering with Cardiff City FC and we look forward to working together. We are also very pleased that Brittany Laing will be our Cardiff City ambassador for HerGameToo as she will be very important in the partnership between ourselves and the club."



Brittany added: "I'm so pleased that Cardiff City have announced their support of the HerGameToo campaign. The Club works hard to create an inclusive and safe environment and the partnership highlights their commitment to improving experiences for female fans. The Club recently invited female fans to a forum to discuss potential improvements they could make for supporters. Providing us with an opportunity to share ideas really made it feel like we had a voice to influence change, which is so important to fans.

"I've been a Season Ticket Holder with my Dad for 14 years and have some incredible memories following the Bluebirds together. Football has always been a massive part of my life and although the majority of fans are accepting of others, I've experienced sexist comments in person and online. I remember seeing the HerGameToo campaign launch and I think it's incredible what the team has achieved in less than a year.

"I'm so proud to be the Cardiff City ambassador for such an important campaign and I look forward to seeing it continue to grow across the 92 and the wider footballing community."

Great to give free tickets, but do we have to put up with the usual discrimination clap trap being spouted. Imagine the fuss if they were being given to men only. :laughing6:

Me too (well,the third time)

City had a community session at Pontyclun junior school my daughter was about 8 came back with a voucher for a free ticket. My mrs said why don't you take he, I phoned paid a fiver for me in the family and 12 seasons later we barely missed a home game and she knows more about football than most of her male friends.

We should be doing a lot more of this for sure. Some will get the bug and it costs us nothing.

Was saying recently they should offer season ticket holders 2 tickets for a £5 either Luton or Birmingham game like they did a few seasons ago. Might bring a few back that lost interest under Mccarthy.

Unfortunately city in the lower reaches of the championship playing Preston can only ever attract an attendance of a certain level wether you offer cheap or free tickets.in common with other clubs with the same stature as us the big crowds will only appear if we are pushing for promotion or a big club rolls into town
