That must have been a really special offer as their website shows tickets for league matches as; £16 standing and £18 or £20 for seating - reduced by £1 if bought in advance.

Have no interest in going to Truro city until they sort themselves out as a community club again. They've had owners that are only there for the money and I'm not for lining their pockets. It maybe the highest standard of local football that the county has seen, but it's still pretty poor in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOUNTAINEER Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Brilliant scoreline by Truro City considering the professionalism of the National League, a tough ask for more of the same on Tuesday, I would settle for a rearguard battle in this one and progress via a penalty shootout. I am pleased the 'Abacus' has been consigned to the scrapheap, WELL DONE LADS. A few of non leagues giants have bitten the dust, could we dare think of a return to Wembley. Internet access bad yesterday so only got the result at lunch time today and it crashed again before I could say WELL DONE CITY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JENGLE Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 Agree with you Ivor. This is an excellent scoreline where the players need to be commended.

Rayvon Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 A chance to see the highest rated football club ever to play a competitive game in Cornwall since Falmouth Town played Oxford United in the FA Cup (Mike Odgers will correct me if I'm wrong) If your coming up in your boat Older I will meet you down Malpas at 6pm, we could pop in The Heron for a pint before the game.

leedsunited Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 It was a reduced rate as in the nicest possible way Truro City is not a great appeal to Forest Green Rovers supporters, not when they are now rubbing shoulders with Tranmere Rovers, Lincoln City, Wrexham etc. Truro City not on their radar, hence the cheap prices trying to entice people through the turnstiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahc Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Taken from Truro website.... THE WHITE Tigers will play host to National League high-flyers, Forest Green Rovers, here at Treyew Road on Tuesday evening in a Buildbase FA Trophy first round replay. Rocky Neal's equaliser saw us play out a 1-1 draw at a decidedly soggy New Lawn on Saturday in what was a spirited and determined display by Lee Hodges' side.

RAPPO Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Agree with Willow, really think City have missed a trick here!! They could have matched the prices FGR were charging on Saturday or at the very least made it a tenner and kids for a quid or u18s free. It's meant to be a mildish dry evening, you could have potentially had a 700/800+ attendance with a few hundred of those kids that will be your supporters for decades to come and might be bringing their kids in 20 years (if there's still a Truro City!?!) Those neutrals that may well have been tempted will probably stay home in the warm and watch Norwich v Villa instead!!? Shame, as you could well be watching a team that will be in the football league next season with their very ambitious chairman and manager. I'll go for a 1-3 defeat and a crowd of 500 max. Hope I'm wrong though!!! ⚽️?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have a few been price reductions in the past, but it didn't seem to increase attendances in the following matches. Truro's running costs are a lot higher than some clubs due to the distances they have to travel and the wages they have to pay to attract players to this area. The recent increase of over 20% in fuel prices over the last couple of months is not going to help their travel costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Its just another lost opportunity in the long list of Truro City's poor PR set up. Maybe the owner have other things on his mind ,at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave has a point that as soon as the final whistle went on Saturday, the club would have exhausted every possible channel to advertise the game. Even if the board outside the ground read bout the FGR replay would have been something.

isaac rosenberg Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Commiserations to Truro city, who put a good show in the second half against fgr last Saturday As a st juster in exile, now living in Gloucestershire, I am sorry to hear that the leading Cornish club charges so much for fans in one if the poorest nations in Europe to get in. My adult season ticket for fgr cost £230 for 23 league matches plus friendlies against Cardiff, Birmingham city and Newport county . we have a socialist chairman.....Truro city could do with the same.

As a matter of fact I agree with you absolutely, GoldenEye. The fat cats if the premiership clubs....all of them...are killing grassroots football.

Chopper said it was late in the game and he had Jimmy in his pocket and being close marked for a free kick Jimmy looked up to Ron and said do you think it will rain today Ron? -as you do Chopper looked up and Greavsie turned and scored.
