Bluebirds support Non-League Day 2019
With the Bluebirds heading into a two-week break as international fixtures are played, City fans will have to wait until 18th October to see the boys in Championship action.
However, as well as on the international stage, there's still plenty of football to be watched during the break, including on Saturday, October 12th – the date of the annual Non-League Day.
Celebrating its tenth year, Non-League Day provides a platform for clubs to promote the importance of volunteer-led community football while giving fans across the country the chance to show support for their local non-league side. Prostate Cancer UK is once again the day's official charity partner, providing support for the sixth consecutive season.
