History Of Property - 'An enthusiastic amateur cricket club from the Riverside district of Cardiff - in those far off days of gas street lamps, Hackney carriages and heavily mustachioed men, may seem a strange place to begin a journey that would eventually take in FA Cup finals, competition in all divisions of the Football League, Welsh Cup triumphs and European adventures.
But it was in those humble surroundings in 1899 that the seeds of Cardiff City Football Club were born.
The camaraderie of Riverside's amateur cricketers, who played their summer game on the wide open spaces of Sophia Gardens, near Cardiff Castle, was such that meetings were organised to decide as to how the members could be kept together throughout the winter.
Despite the attraction of rugby union, the popular choice was to form an association football team.
My Bartley Wilson, a Bristol-born lithographic artist, who despite being an invalid and needing the aid of walking sticks for mobility, was an active member of the cricket club and arranged an inaugural meeting for interested parties at his home at No1 Coldstream Terrace.
Only five people attended and the project was almost abandoned there and then, but a second meeting was proposed which received a better response.
From those present at the first meeting the first committee of Riverside Football Club was selected.
The committee consisted of:
Messrs. Stanley Barrett, Frank Burfitt, William Canter, EW Holder, George Pearce, James Redfern, Andrew Sheen, AJ Stone and Mr Bartley Wilson.
Utilising the sparse facilities at the Sophia Gardens, where a shed had to serve as both a meeting place and dressing rooms, the newly-formed team arranged local friendliest in the winter of 1899-90.
They suffered badly in their first fixture - a 9-1 beating by Barry West End.
Enthusiasm knows no bounds however, and the club were accepted as members of the Cardiff and District League in 1900.
The first known colours of Riverside were chocolate and amber quartered shirts and black knickers. In the face of competitive local football, the playing strength within the club grew appreciably.
This was a period when amateur players could by poached from other clubs, and many would join the organisation that could offer the best in terms of recreation.
With their facilities needing to be improved the club acquired a disused stable and the stalwarts successfully converted the building into acceptable premises which had gas and water installed.
An amalgamation with a rival club, Riverside Albion, was undertaken in 1902 and three years later Riverside AFC gained their first recognised honour by winning the Bevan Shield, a local competition.
