When did it become the norm to charge for friendly games? £2 is not much in the grand scheme of things. I was always under the impression that local friendly matches were no admission charge. 

Perhaps that was the norm in years gone by but Clubs need every pound they can get. The hidden costs are ever increasing - rent, business rates, water, gas, electric, pitch renovation etc rise every year. Every little helps!

 £2 is a bargain. 

Pay to watch a Chelsea friendly, £30. Link below.

Moan about Chelsea then or is it because local clubs are an easy target.

Friendlies cost clubs money to stage, the same as league matches do.......football is not free to a club staging the game.

Decent price to watch that fixture ? some good players on the pitch to watch for a couple of quid. More realistic than some prices being charged for a friendly this week. Well done Penzance 

Yes, good and fair price. I bet Falmouth against Truro will be a lot more than this !

For once I agree with you Older, just as well the game is being played at Bickland for the second year running. If it were to be played at Treyew Road I would expect to have to pay double to watch The Wembley Winners and the team that took Charlton Athletic all the way in the FA Cup last season. :c::thumbsup::c:

A bit of trivia for you Ray

Falmouth are the only Cornish club to score two goals in a F A Cup First Round Proper tie LOL

In fact losing 2-5 at Peterborough 1967 Richard Gray netted twice against the the then current Welsh International goal keeper (Tony Millington) and the story doing the rounds was that the  reigning World Champions England only scored one against him.

Not sure about seeing you on Saturday Ray as I understand there are major car parking problems at Bickland.

Bickland Park is a shambles. The main entrance is all fenced off and contains tons of building materials.and the car park ha sportable sales buildings on it and there are severe restrictions on the road. I would imagine the access is by helicopter !

The ground is at the top of the hill, and the grass is growing.

Nothing else started there yet though, my spies tell me that Bickland has not been sold yet.

Yes I have been told exactly the same.

New manager in the latest CORNISH SOCCER Mag suggested target was to finish in top four or five.

If you look at recent history - 3 seasons ago Mousehole absolutely walked the West league, a large batch of their players left the following season and went to (back to) Penzance and now they have been joined at Penzance by most of the remaining members of that league winning squad. They no longer have Argyle Reserves or Sticker to worry about, who were about then - Millbrook and Elburton Villa have gone up and by all accounts (from other posts on the forum) - Mousehole have no squad left , Ludgvan have lost a couple of players, Porthleven didn't look great in last preseason, Wadebridge are possibly loosing their striker for a big money move, Liskeards young striker is being looked at outside of the county

- basically looks like Penzance's season lol (if only it were so easy)

You’re right - not a bad result considering their exodus of players. (Huddersfield academy get around a bit mind you as their Academy first team side were playing Hemel Hempstead in a cup final on the same Saturday in Yorkshire)
