The Bluebird vs Sheff Utd.
THE BLUEBIRD CHRISTMAS COMPETITION | WHO'S SANTA?

The Bluebird - the official matchday programme of Cardiff City - is available throughout the 2024/25 season.

In 1999/00, we ran a Christmas competition in our festive issue of The Bluebird, with one simple question – who is wearing the Santa costume on the front cover?

Fast forward 25 years, and we’re asking the same question! A member of the First Team squad is hidden behind the famous red suit and white beard, and it’s your job to work out who it is!

Make your guess by leaving a comment on our official Twitter/X account, @TheBluebirdProg, by 3pm on Christmas Eve. The winner will receive a signed copy of this edition and a City-themed Christmas gift.

The programme will remain £3.50 for the 2024/25 season, and is available from the SuperStore, retail walkway booth, Gate 4 booth, Supporters Club office and away end.

Anti Discrimination
TOGETHER AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

Football is for everyone. We might support different teams, but football unites and inspires us.

It is a game with many opinions. But there is one on which we should all agree.

Racism and discrimination is not welcome in our game. So if you hear it, report it - whether in the street, at Cardiff City Stadium or online.

And when you see players taking the knee ahead of the game as a simple and peaceful act of protest this season, please respect their choice.

Because we are all Together Against Discrimination.

KICK-OFF
