Bluebirds Memorial Garden - volunteers needed

Wed Jul 23, 2025 6:06 am

This from the Trust, though organised by City Veterans:

A volunteer day will be staged at the Memorial Garden at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, July 29 (10.30am-12.30pm).

Volunteers are needed to carry out painting of fencing, plot surrounds and benches, along with other work, including weeding.

The day has been organised by the Cardiff City Veterans Hub. All materials, including paint brushes, paint etc, will be provided, so volunteers just need to turn up next Tuesday.

I'm fuming by the state of the bricks. Fans walking over them
Inscriptions hard or impossible to read.
The brick was, purchased in memory of my son.

The memorial bricks should never have been placed on the footpath of a main entrance to the stadium. Seeing thousands of fans walking over them every game has always been something that's never sat right with me. Something should really be done about it, but I'm not sure what the answer is. Maybe closing the entrance gate and forcing foot traffic up to the car entrance, only a few metres up the road really. That gate is a bottleneck on match day anyway
