Back in May Hubby and I attended a charity lunch for Ty Hafan along with our friend Rhi (post here). At the lunch Hubby and Rhi bidded on an auction item for 4 people to attend a Cardiff City training session and a Q&A with the manager. Rhi won it and it was agreed that hubby would be one of the people to go with her.
It’s taken quite a few months for Rhi to organise a date with Cardiff City, but eventually they went on the Friday of half term (28th October). Hubby decided to take Daniel with him as he’s been really getting into watching the football and now recognises a lot of the players. Rhi took her friend Haley (@haythebluebird on Twitter).
They all met at Vale of Glamorgan Hotel, where the training ground is, in the morning. They were then taken into the players dining room where they were given tea and toast, while the players all had their breakfast. Then they had a tour of the changing rooms and facilities before going out to watch the training session.
They got to meet a lot of the players after training and had photos taken with them.





Then they all went back to the dining room and had lunch. Danny was handed a stack of photos of the players and told to go and get them signed. Hubby said it was like playing human snap, Dan was holding up the photo, spotting which person it matched, then going to get it signed.


It sounds like they all had a fantastic time. Hubby said Malky (the manager) and all the players were very friendly and welcoming. Haley has also written a blog post of the day, going into far more detail – she actually knows the players names
