somersetspur Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Awesome effort from the team and the TISA Boys.Great support for a Monday night in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyburnsey Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 so glad that the team got a very good result, and by the sounds of it good support from Truro fans just wish we had the same support at home. It's why I played silence is golden last Saturday . I did hear that a silent stance was being taken by some supporters because of what some are allowed and others don't get the same treatment. But like i say you hear so much rubbish sometimes with the bigger picture new ground and hopefully a team that can go all the way to the conference and beyond.

somersetspur Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Without digging up all the politics of the Club.I for one dont intend going to many home games.The raising of the concession age from 60 to 65,and asking them to pay £12,is no way to encourage crowds.Was at Sutton last night ,concession age 60 and cost £6 for admission.Thats why over 700 people were there.Thats just one issue.I could go on.As for the singing.Ask the Steward's what they said to the TISA boys at Jake Ash 's Testimonial.

Mr Burns Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I would occasionally watch a Truro game, not now at those prices.I would imagine that the prices charged by Truro City are in line with other clubs in the division. I notice that our visitors this Saturday, Bishop Stortford charge £13 admission (£8 concessions) plus you have to pay to use the car park. However, members of their Supporters Club receive free car parking and a discount in the Supporters Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Burns Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Mr Burns, bishop stortfordare a fairly established club at that level therefore have the ability to charge a bit more are truro in that position? DarrenI don't think that the fact they are new to this league is a relevant one. Truro will still have to incur similar costs to other established team in the division. In fact, given their geographical location it could be argued that their overheads would be considerably more than a team based in London or Hertfordshire. The point I was making is that it is not unreasonable to expect to pay increased admission prices when a team is promoted to a higher league and that Truro are charging the 'going rate' for the league they are now in.

Thats not a League rule.Asking people who are 60+ to pay £12 to get in,right up to the 75 minute,is daylight robbery.I know for a fact that 4 people walked away at half time on Saturday because they had to pay £12 to enter.They said they would just go in the bar for a beer,then.That was not allowed either.Apparently this is League rules.Margate and Sutton are breaking League rules then.I know.I was there.

Dave Deacon Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Can't see it being a league rule, whereas the concession age is probably left to the clubs as well. I was at Saltash in Saturday and the guy on the gate hesitated between saying 60 and 65! Much that I was disappointed anyway at even being asked, seeing I'm 59! ?

Mikeyburnsey Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Just don't think people really look at the bigger picture, Location is a big factor, teams up long are bound to get bigger attendances and top players, which then let the clubs reduce admission prices and offer more than what Truro can. By continually slating the club does no good, anyone thinking of going could be put off. What do you want by staying away is effecting the club if it continues then the players, manger and staff could all leave due to to the chairman unable to keep them? Crowds of 386 is terrible and if Saturday is under 500 I would dread to think what lies ahead. Dave I am not blinkered I am allowed my opinions and you yours. I also agree that the over 65s should get a concession as should the disable. Since a boy I have always dreamed of a club playing in the football league and see how close Truro are it just needs everyone to get behind the club we should not do our dirty washing in public that could damage its image.I know you have issues with PM. Why not talk to him like Tom did surely it's better that you guys drink at the club and watch home games it needs every penny it can get. I know you go back years and years but nothing ever stays the same we all have to move with it as one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The prices went up when the business plan that included the refs expenses did not come through. That's my understanding...right or wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Burns Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 What ever the reason for the price increase, I think that you will find that £12 (£11 for Supporter Club members) puts Truro towards the bottom end of the scale when it comes to admission prices in the division. Maidstone and Margate, who were both promoted along with Truro this season, also charge £12 (Bang goes St. Darren's theory!) One club, St Albans charge as much as £15. At the end of the day we all have to consider our own budgets when it comes to deciding whether or not we go and watch football on a Saturday afternoon. However, we shouldn't forget that we would have to travel across the Tamar to see a better standard of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Burns Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) That's a matter of opinion on standards.Most footballing issues are a matter of opinion (as stated on Tiger Talk earlier today!), but you would expect the standard of football, including players,facilities, officials and opposition to improve with progress up the football pyramid. I'm sure you could cite a situation where this isn't the case, but in general the league structure is a reliable measure of 'standards'.
