Calling all supporters of Wrexham AFC, Cardiff City FC, Newport County AFC and Swansea City AFC!
Wrexham’s new museum is gathering stories and memorabilia for a brand new display featuring some of Wales’ most famous clubs!
The new ‘Museum of Two Halves’ will see the development of the Football Museum for Wales and a new Wrexham Museum in the current museum building on Regent Street in Wrexham – building work is now well underway!
To help collect Welsh football club stories, the museum has gathered together six key events from the history of each of the four clubs.
They’ve prepared questions around each event and would love to hear your stories and opinions on them!
Big clubs, big stories!
Here are just a few of the stories we’d like to hear about…
If you’re a Wrexham fan, you may want to discuss the famous 1992 FA Cup victory against Arsenal, the Hollywood takeover, or the astonishing day in 2011 when supporters raised £100,000 in just 7 hours to help save the club from going under.
If you’re a Swansea City fan, you may want to talk about the incredible League Cup win of 2013, or when the club finally moved from the Vetch Field in 2005 after playing there for 93 years.
Cardiff City fans may be able to help us gather stories around the legendary FA Cup win of 1927, or the fan power victory of 2015, when pressure from supporters forced the club to revert back to their traditional blue kit, following a failed attempt to switch to red.
Newport County fans may have some stories they’d like to share from the unique bond the club developed with German side FC Carl Zeiss Jena, or the rebirth of 1989, when the club earned the nickname “The Exiles”, after being forced to play their home matches away from Newport for a season.
