It was cobblers
At one point a fan from the docks of west Indian origin asked the club about real jobs for the local community at Cardiff City .......he , like most of those assembled meant office jobs , PR , administration , advertising, back room staff etc
The groundsman interrupted with the suggestion that there were lots of casual jobs in catering ......in other words , serving burgers
It was unbelievable , I spoke to the guy who raised the question after the presentation and I said I am sorry I don't know what to say 😐
After the event , which was very David Brent I spoke to a group of somali lads and they said all their mates love football but don't feel welcome at Cardiff City
And when you see and witness the backward ignorant attitude of the club towards inclusion you can see why
Cardiff City has on its doorstep a large black and Asian community . Unless things have changed the club is still ignoring them .
