I told you so ........

If you mean the statement released by Helical Retail today then all I can read into that is:

 

  • They signed up their first retailer.
  • They need a lot more retailers to follow suite quickly.
  • They still seem quite keen to plonk TCFC in the S4C.

 

The boulders are still outside Silver Bow and reading in between the lines of that statement, that’s where they will remain for a long time yet and maybe indefinitely.  No apologies yet I’m afraid.

The content of the City Alert sent out by Truro City FC is as as follows:-

It's game on at Treyew Road and Silverbow!

Helical Retail is delighted to announce that it has signed Wren Kitchens for
a 15,000 sq ft unit at its Truro City Shopping Park at Treyew Rd, Truro.
WREN is a national retailer specialising in kitchens and related
accessories, with 55 stores across the country.  For some time, the company
has been looking to locate a store that will cover Cornwall, in order to
complete its expansion plans across the South West.

Aidan Farrell, Property Director for Wren, said, “The Business has advanced
plans to acquire units in Exeter and Plymouth. The new store for Truro
represents a further positive step for our expanding store network. 

“Truro City Shopping Park will be a great location where we can cover the
Truro, Falmouth and wider Cornwall markets. Its location will be easily
accessible to the large number of commuters as well as Truro City Centre
shoppers.

“We will be employing 30 local people to work at the new store including
managers, designers and kitchen surveyors. There will be 50 kitchen displays
embracing modern through to traditional designs, supported by a state of the
art design centre.”

Peter Masters of Truro City Football Club said, “We have been looking
forward to seeing this deal announced as it demonstrates Helical Retail’s
commitment to the project and underwrites the fact that this development can
now move forward.”

Philip King, Development Manager for Helical Retail, said, “This is a major
coup for Truro and shows confidence in our plans for Treyew Rd.  We said we
would bring new retailers into Truro who are not already here and we are
delivering on that promise. WREN’s move will endorse the park and other
furniture retailers will follow. 

“Alongside this good news, I would also like to take this opportunity to put
the record straight about the Stadium for Cornwall (S4C). We have always
supported this project and will continue to do so. Currently our plans are
to relocate Truro City Football Club to Silver Bow. However, should the
parties to the S4C wish to discuss alternative provision for the S4C that
would include both Truro City Football Club and the Cornish Pirates, we are
happy to discuss. However, we are not suggesting a joint venture with INOX
or Henry Boot.”

One swallow does not a summer make.

I have no doubt following that statement that Helicals preferred option is a groundshare.

Whether both parties want that is irrelevant, it will boil down to as needs be when finalised.

I would love to see TCFC with a new stadium that THEY own, with entry fees that I would be prepared to pay.

We'll see.

Oh ye of SO little faith, why did you doubt?

Silverbow is up and running.

Apologies accepted.

Truro Postie,

I am off to the Algarve for a week, will there be a Truro City Football Club when I return?

Will you be successful taking over Torquay United?

Will Truro City be owned by one of the family?

I note a Torquay player is returning from a long term injury but they cannot afford to pay him and he is coming to Truro City until they can assess his worth and there is enough money in the pot.

Does all this make Truro City Football Club the bankers for Torquay United Football Club.

ONLY ASKING WHAT OTHERS ARE THINKING.

Clean washing only in public:smiley20:
