Canton Stand - Bowen & Moore
We’re Bowen & Moore, two lifelong Bluebirds with a big passion for music. We try to incorporate our love for both the Bluebirds and music when performing at Cardiff City Stadium.
We play a variety of songs from terrace favourites such as Oasis, The Jam, The Coral and many more. We always aim to give the City faithful the pre-match entertainment they desire before kick-off.
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
City kick-off against the Potters at 7:45pm on Wednesday!
Get down to CCS and cheer on the boys for one final time before the international break, Bluebirds!
