Cardiff City Trust launch attack on new City fans who have
Mon Oct 13, 2025 2:49 pm
Joined.
They say they have now got 350 members now since around 70 new members joined in the last couple of members.
28 of these new members have asked for a new election of seats on the board, 28 is what the governing law says needs to get one.
They currently only have eight board members when they’re should be twelve and many have been on their more than ten years and no proper elections have been held for years. The Chairman Keith Morgan is determined their be no new elections and has for months made every effort to stop this. Denying they received emails,registered letters and personal hand delivery of letters.
They are already on their last warning from the powers above them, failing to put their accounts in and not having proper elections.
It’s a closed house and this group do not want fans to know what they’ve been up to for years and of course their close friendship with Dalman.
It’s very serious how badly run they have been and have now called on all their members to vote against an election.
I joined and as I thought they represented the fans,I see they do not,just themselves.
If they put as much effort in the way they have tried to stop the Trust getting bigger in to questioning Dalman properly we would know a lot more what was going on at our club.
Cardiff City Supporters Trust – Special General Meeting 24 October 2025 7pm Ricoh Suite, Cardiff City Stadium
Dear Member,
You will recall that you were notified on 3 October of a Special General Meeting on 24 October that has been called for in a letter we received supported by 29 recently joined members. It will be held as above.
We, the board of CCST would like to bring you up to date on what has happened so far and also the next steps.
On 8 September we received both by post and email a request for a meeting with the CCST Board to "discuss the prospect of holding a democratically contested election for the Trust's board".
The letter suggested a 45-60 minute meeting at a mutually convenient time. However, a few days later we received an email to remind us that a 28 day clock was ticking in respect of the deadlines relating to their request. Receipt of this communication made it clear that what was sought was a Special General Meeting which is what the 28 day deadline refers to and not the informal meeting that the letter suggested.
We informed the group that their communication did not comply with the rules for requesting a Special General Meeting (which was confirmed by the Football Supporters Association (FSA)) as it was not sent to our Registered Office (our accountants at an address in Penarth). Also, the tenor of the letter was very much aimed toward "discussion" and did not contain a specific resolution to be discussed and voted on.
We provided the details of our Registered Office to the group who then formally delivered a letter dated 18 September to our Registered Office. A copy of the letter was not forwarded to us until 24 September so, in arranging a meeting on 24 October we have not complied with the deadline of 28 days but the FSA, whom we have consulted throughout this process, are satisfied that we have made every reasonable endeavour to comply.
Just to remind you, the resolution to be discussed at the meeting is as follows:
"That an election of the Cardiff City Supporters Trust Board be held within 30 days of this Special General Meeting. As part of this election, all current members of the Board shall stand down and may seek re-election should they wish to do so, following the Trust's Election Policies and Procedures. Any Trust member who meets the eligibility requirements may also seek election in accordance with the same rules and procedures."
We, the board at CCST, strongly oppose this resolution and urge you to vote against it either by proxy or attending the meeting. Elections to the board are held in the run up to the AGM in May and we strongly suggest that this process is adhered to. We believe this remains the best time.

The trust has been badly run for many years, a pityful amount of members speaks for itself with some committee members been inplace for up to 10 years without opposition. They are quite happy to keep the "status quo" going which is obvious by the manner/tone of their e-mails of late. Cardiff City trust should be far better than it is with thousands of members, we intend to help take the trust into a new era, one we can ALL be proud of.

That’s fair comment, but as a result, you cannot have a real opinion, or affect change!
I’m in the same boat so my comments are solely on (mainly) secondhand information from one or two reliable sources, and all I say is the person at the top doesn’t have the ‘best interests’ of the Trust and/or the club itself at heart!

I joined the Trust at its foundations but soon left when it did nothing about the Rebrand. Since then its gone nowhere and if anything it needs a shake up, no doubt about that.
However much its present regime whinges about the latest going ons it only has itself to blame.
