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 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.
The entrance would be a massive pair of triangular corner flags with 'capital city FC' written on them.
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.
You have some great stuff on there 👍
It was moved down from Deepdale a few years back. I was there about 3/4 years ago, really enjoyed it.
I'd add Peter Thorne's (invisible) magic hat and a bowl of the water Tony Evans used to walk on.
Hate it when our fans say that about Jones.
How would you have reacted after being accused of being a Paedophile,and getting dragged through court before finally being able to clear your name.
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.
Portraits of former CCMB legends
Start with Victor
Our style of football since Dave Jones left belongs in a museum
Read his book so fully get his backstory and it must have been horrendous
I was thinking more about his approach with local journos especially tucker which for me got comical at times
Russell Slades footballing brain
Tony Philikirks shooting boots
Peter Zios's goalkeeping glovers
The list is endless.....
👍
The tannoy announcement and subsequent cheer when tony capaldi got substituted at half time (mid week game - can't remember who)
footage of gerrard hitting the head of the mascot at Watford away at half time
Footage of Eddie Johnson goals
Mark Hudson half wayer against derby??
The Cardiff fans mimicking a Coventry payer who was constantly waving to his teammates to have the ball
And on they go 😂😂😂😂
I've just thought of another two exhibits:
Kenny Hibbert's moustache and baseball cap

Robin Friday’s clinking & rattling carrier bag.
Tosh & Clark’s baseball daps that they used to wear on frozen pitches.
The infamous corner flag from the 1976 Yugoslavia game.
