Apparently a Football Museum for Wales is being planned, based in Wrexham. Our club has just tweeted a link to a survey about it (not that it asks very much)
https://yourmuseum.wales/
It got me thinking though - what would you put in a Cardiff City FC museum?
A trophy cabinet of course (1 FA Cup, 1 Charity Shield, 22 Welsh Cups, various division titles), and a feature about the FA Cup win, but what else? (Serious and silly suggestions please!)
The hat that ole used to put all players names in which he randomly drew the side from before each gameQuote:

The club bought £40k or so of CCFC memorabilia at auction in February 2020 so they have the basis of exhibits for a museum already. I believe a space has already been earmarked in the Upper Ninian (I think) but funds are needed to kit out the space and therein lies the problem. No budget and probably not high up the list of club priorities
I went on a tour of the Bernabeu and there wasn't really a lot of 'stuff' just a lot of videos, shirts and balls. It would be cool to see a history our kits with footage or pictures of the games we played them in - European games, the welsh cup kits etc.Quote:

A recreation of the Bob Bank urinals, with authentic sound and smell effects?
Maybe have a look at the website I set up?

The National Football Museum in Manchester is a great place to visit if you’re ever in the area.
I went there just as it was being set up and they didn't have much there yet. Might be worth another look.Quote:

No wonder the guy was bitter.
I’ll add my flick knife & hobnail boots that I used to tip toe through the Grange End with.

Our style of football since Dave Jones left belongs in a museum

The Dai Hunt exhibit must be able to spray fountains of spit at you while watching/listening to it, for it to remain authentic. Free umbrellas to be handed out before entry to the CCFC museum of courseQuote:
