Wanderers or Rovers?


Recommended Posts

In a couple of recent posts I made light hearted mention of Truro Wanderers, now some pedant has pointed out that wanderers meander from place to place with no home to call their own and it should really be Truro Rovers, who presumably, while having a home, go a roving to pastures new.

So which should it be? Truro City is plain(moor)ly wrong if they don't play there. Truro United anybody?????

Truro United used to play in the Sunday League and had many good games against them on the slopes of Penair

20 odd years ago there used to be a Truro Athletic.

A Sunday League side who were connected to Truro City,and when Treyew Rd could take it,we played our home games there.

Became Sunday League Cornwall Cup winners,with players ,like Mark Rapsey,Steve Tabb,Mark Wearne,Mark Symons,Ian Gosling,Gary Pascoe and Haydn Jose,

all playing for the Club.

No wonder they won the cup. That is one fearsome line-up. They could probably string a pretty good game together even nowadays!

Could'nt play them all at the same time.

We could only play two senior players.

Being the manager ,was tough work.Telling some of those players,they are not required.
