Duty281 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The majority of the 521 crowd today went home disappointed as Truro went down 5-2. This was a strange game. Basingstoke won 5-2 yes, but the difference was they took their chances and we didn't. It could have been 5-5 or even higher! Scott Walker scored our 2 goals taking his tally up to 7 for the season! We're now down to 13th in the table. Next up is an away trip to Gloucester in the Cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 To a large extent the difference going forward and creating chances has been one of the major noticeable differences all season. That's both creating and putting and half-chances away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penfold Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I come on here & always see everyone slagging off Truro honestly whats wrong with you lot it good for local & cornish football !! Imagine if they got to the championship would u go watch them then ?? Imagine if someone come along and put loads of money into the team you supported & you started winning FA cups & the league like man city would u be slagging your own team off no you would be over the moon ... So give it a rest and support our local team cliaming the leagues !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Sorry but Truro City is just local to Truro City. How can it be 'local' to anywhere else? Blimey, where do you people live? Oh sorry, Truro of course! Some folks just don't seem to get it; footy supporters support footy clubs, but, they don't all have to support the same one. that would pretty pointless wouldn't it! penfold, you come on here seeing City slagged off because; surprise, surprise, not every member of the Cornish footy population likes the 'white tigers. Now on that last point: when was there ever a white tiger in the Duchy? How about never! So why the stupid name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Kempy, I'm sure you're right. It's just a shame most City fans - well, they're fans right now - are so deluded. Reading, City threads over the last three or four years has been almost as bad as watching xfactor. There are genuine times when praise should be awarded but not every flipping week. Today xfactor is crap and today city were crap. No, I wasn't there but to lose at home by such a margin certainly seems to suggest it. The 'deluded' just don't seem to be able to take it on board their team isn't good enough! With luck; City might finish mid table. With luck and a little help from a certain quarter; they will disappear. A new club will appear and 'locals' will rightly have the opportunity to be proud. White Tigers? Nah! I see a white flag looming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falfootie Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The change of colours & nickname was, I assume, an effort to 'appeal' to a wider audience, which it obviously hasn't to any great degree. Because Truro are in a much higher league than any other Cornish side, it doesn't mean that people will/should go and watch them. For example, in London, would supporters of Brentford or Orient give up following their sides in order to go and watch Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal etc because they play in a higher standard of football.

hammers Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I have lived in Truro since 1972, But I still support Falmouth Town My son has always been a Falmouth Supporter because I always took him to Town like most dads who take their sons to the team they support, What we do not like is some people who supported Falmouth for years then switched to Truro, because they wanted to see a higher quality of Football, But true supporters of a Football club would never switch, Some of these ex Town supporters come back to Falmouth When Truro are Playing away, & if Falmouth are having a good game have the cheek to say well the team Falmouth are playing are very poor, & are making falmouth look better than they are, I say to these turn Coats, we do not mind you coming to Falmouth because we will take your money, but you do not like people criticizing Truro, so do not come to Falmouth & criticize them, if that is all you come for then do us all a favour & stay away, because we will tell you what we think of you.

skeletor Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Good to see local lad cody cooke being involved although it was only on the bench.

Such a tight league but our next game in the league on the 22nd (away to 2nd placed Dartford) will be difficult. It would be fantastic to even get a point!

Rob Philpott Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 As some will know i am a falmouth boy through and through and if i want to go and watch truro city i will purely because i want to see a good standard of football,ive lived in australia for the last 5 years but have kept in touch with things and every time i have come home for a holiday i make a point of making a trip to truro and will continue to do so when i move back to falmouth next week.Sure truro havent made many fans by some things that have happened off field but some people on here would rather focus on those things rather than the football side except when city lose that is then like this thread all the anti truro brigade crawl out from under their rocks.I also intend to share my saturdays watching my beloved QPR and my former club Falmouth Athletic where i played most of my career so i am not a truro city fan but if conference south football is available on my doorstep i will go watch as and when i please! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, in London, would supporters of Brentford or Orient give up following their sides in order to go and watch Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal etc because they play in a higher standard of football. Dont fans of Brentford often go to watch West Ham rather than travel to away games!? End of the day successful clubs will attract more fans, if that success dwindles then Im certain the numbes will follow suit. No Truro fans, players or management have said that people should go and watch them but at least the higher level football is there should anyone choose to watch it. So much pointless jealousy on here, I understand why people have a gripe with KH for his business dealings but does it really need to be put onto every thread with a Truro reference!? If you dont like, watch or have an interest in Truro then why waste your time commenting on them!? Moving home Rob, too much sun for you over there!?

falfootie Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm with Porker on this. I'm not jealous of Truro in any way. I've intensely disliked them since the age of about 7 or 8, long before KH arrived on the scene. I wouldn't look out of the window to watch Truro if they were playing in my back garden. Purely a personal view/choice (probably irrational but there you go) In my earlier post I was just trying to point out that Truro's attempt to do a 'Cornish Pirates' (to widen their appeal) hasn't really worked to any great extent.
