Lynxman Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes lol impressive let's hope it gets used well, still need gov. To stump up with money not sure they will. And not sure local sides will attract big enough crowds to make it pay. it's the product not the stadium that will attract fans. Can't see people travelling from the East of the county on a regular basis. Hope I am proved wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Do the Pirates and Truro City have to pay rent on the ground? Or is their investment their final contribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 As I understand it.The Pirates will be the Stadium,s main players with TCFC paying an annual rent as tennents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsider Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Pirates will own the freehold of the stadium and Truro City will pay rent. I think £18,000 per annum was mentioned at the briefing last week. What size crowds do the Pirates and Truro city currently get? Threemilestone FC and Cornish Sharks American Football was also mentioned in the Council papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Not quite there yet, reading the paper today there is no business plan in place yet, this is needed to attract the council money, and the government money. Only a commitment to cover any shortfall up to £300K per annum for the first ten years......seems like they are confident then - white elephant springs to mind. Council run facility ....dead in the water. The pirates will own it so - why aren't they running it, or are they (?) because they are not daft.

Outsider Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Council only putting up some money. Not involved with running it. I expect there will be a separate company set up to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishteddyboy Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 In the paperwork it mentions holding football Cup finals, etc, there. Has the CFA already committed itself to holding the Senior/Junior Cup finals there plus maybe County Under 18's home games? If so, for how long?

No good if the Senior Cup Final is to remain on Easter Monday anyway as the Step 2 National League South takes priority!

Of course it is a Stadium for all of Cornwall. Rugby League's Cornish Rebels are looking to play there. American Football's,Cornwall Sharks,want to play games,there. Cornwall's County Rugby games. Football finals. Add into that with all the hospitality facilities,like weddings,conferences meetings etc. Live concerts. The potential is huge,and if managed correctly,the S4C could be a massive success. 3 minutes ago, Dave Deacon said: I understand no not yet!

Best the county got their own artificial facility somewhere for themselves Why not have the Senior Cup/Junior Cup Finals on the Easter Sunday.? Or request to the National League to make sure TCFC have an away fixture on Easter Monday. Not too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Odgers Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 The CCFA paying out hire fees to play their own Cup Finals? they wont be too happy with that when Blaise Park and others have served them ideally over many years.lol,, What do you think Big Al?

somersetspur Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Bottom line here is,providing who were in the Finals,the best available ground was selected,weather it was Blaize Park,Poltair,Priory Park,Treyew Rd. Now in a couple of season,s the S4C will be far and beyond the best ground available. Trying to find problems with old history,is boring.Its time to look forward,and move on,to the great new opporunities. Do you think,as a Spurs fan that I wanted to leave White Hart Lane.????? But you move on to the new Stadium,and what a beauty it is. Thats what everyone does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvon Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Surely it would be any local players dream and an honour to play in the new S4C, as previously mentioned its time to move on and stop living in the past.

How many times do people have to be told Fanfare football and rugby matches are not played at peak times when the traffic is heavy, having lived at Threemilestone for twenty five years I can assure you that the A390 is not that busy on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon, midweek games are played on a Tuesday evening so no problem there either. How do you think these big clubs in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool manage. To much negativity on this subject I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvon Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I can remember going to Highbury many years ago, they were building a new stand behind one of the goals so they put up hoardings and painted a crowd on them, perhaps the same could be done at the S4C. I heard Older was some sort of artist when he was younger, perhaps he could help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bootsman7 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 No certainty that Hereford will be placed in South as they are on the borderline, as also depends on the relegated teams from National league.. Torquay are the only certainty at the moment - they will bring a few hundred! Woking are a possible as in bottom 4 and only 1 game to play. Not unusual for some switching between North and South. Leamington have played Truro in Southern Prem but are in Nat North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Jones Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I thought I read that the rent for Truro would be around 100k considerably higher than what they pay now? Possibly in the West Briton. Please correct me if wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
