History of Cardiff City F.C. : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Cardiff City F.C. Cardiff City F.C. are one of a few Welsh sides to play in the English football league system, rather than the Welsh system. The other teams are Swansea City, Wrexham, Newport County, Merthyr Town and Colwyn Bay. ==Early years (1899–1910)== Cardiff City was formed in 1899 by Bristol born Bartley Wilson as a way of keeping players from the Riverside Cricket Club together and in shape during the winter months. The colours worn by the club were chocolate and amber quarters, quite unusual for the time. Their first season saw them playing friendlies against local sides at their Sophia Gardens ground, but in 1900 they joined the Cardiff & District League for their first competitive season. In 1902, Riverside A.F.C. merged with Riverside Albion, but it took another three years till they won their first trophy, the Bevan Shield. In 1905 Cardiff was granted city status by King Edward VII, and as a result the club put in a request to change their name to Cardiff City, but the request was turned down as they were deemed to be not playing at a high enough level. To combat this they arranged to join the South Wales Amateur League in 1907 and the following year they were granted permission to change the name of the club to Cardiff City. Interest in the club began to rise during this time, but they were forced to turn down the opportunity to join the newly formed Southern League Second Division due to the lack of facilities at their Sophia Gardens ground. Cardiff City needed race funds for a new stadium and facilities, so they arranged friendlies with big name clubs such as Crystal Palace, Bristol City and Middlesbrough, some of the games were played at Cardiff Arms Park whilst the Middlesbrough game was played at Harlequins Ground. There was a great response from the public with the profit made, Wilson began talks with the Bute Estate, the owners of the majority of Cardiff. The Bute Estate offered a waste land on Sloper Road, the deal was accepted after Cardiff Corporation agreed to assist in the preparing of the ground.
