Good to hear that the bond has been paid and that the club can perhaps begin to look forward again, after what has been a nightmare time for you fans of late. Fingers crossed it all works out.

Paparazzi Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 So.... Why would L2 nightclub and A2B taxis stump up the £50k, if the club cannot sustain their running costs? doesnt look like they`ll get a return on that and i guessing Truro City FC will be back in the same posistion next season? Also i loved the part on radio cornwall yesterday where it was said the guy from L2 doesn`t even like football! hmmm alot of money to stump up if you dont even like the game, got to be in it for something else.

Dave Deacon Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Wouldn't it be nice to think the two just wanted to help their local club out. Has there always got to be an underhand reason for doing something these days? I'm sure they are aware they will not get any return whatsoever on the payment they have made, likewise I am also pretty sure they realise they could even lose the money! They're obviously fortunate to be in the position to be able to afford losing the money if the worst happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Any people in the pipeline willing to take on the club Dave? Someone posted that the running costs are £190,000 per season. I wonder if someone did take it one how much of that money would come from gate, sponsorship, bar money and how much a buyer would have to put in. Have you heard anything about what sort of rent JoJo Investico want from the club, and does that include the whole site or just the football ground?

Nemesis Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Ask yourself this, if you had £50k knocking arounding, stuffed down the back of the sofa, spare change if you will... would you pay a bond for a club you have no interest in, in a sport you know nothing about ? YoYo investments or whatever they are call will have a firm hand right up a puppets backside, they ground is where the money and the problems lay. Nothing is ever as it seems at Truro, they were warned when Ginge walked in... they didn't listen, it would be foolish to grab the first lifeboat that comes along, it may well have holes in it. Regroup at SWPL West and start again, but sort the ground out or find somewhere else to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Are you thinking/saying these two bond payers have backers? They are just front men for others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I have no idea if there are any prospective buyers. The whole affair since the summer has been full of surprises along the way so who knows. Yesterday was a prime example of an amazing turnaround of events. Who would have imagined two guys would come in, after the deadline and provide the money to at least enable the club to stay in the Conference. It buys time, but as i see it, there is no certainty that come even Tuesday they will be at Staines. The players presumably have been filled in as to what the position is with regards to them and I assume without assurances they must be considering their future options. I was led to believe that previous running costs were considerably higher than the figure you quoted. More like double! But they'll have to start to cut their cloth accordingly I guess. No overnight stays (not that there were many last season anyway), travelling costs cut, and as the players are non-contract - perhaps look at reducing their "wages". Dare I say try and run it as a business! Commercially is surely where they can look to improve - bring on board more sponsors, merchandise etc. You never know, the two local businessmen who have come on board might be able to find more local willing businessmen. This lease sounds like an ongoing problem with regards to any future "permanent" solution. I did hear that one of the reasons Murtagh pulled out was that he was being asked to pay a million quid a year to rent the club house and the grandstand seats! I would say that was the equivalent of being held a gun to your head! Yes, fully agree Nemesis, they obviously still need to regroup - for the moment at least though, by depositing the bond, it allows this - and at Conference Level instead of a few steps lower. Regrettably as I see it too, the ground is always going to be a problem with the present owners no doubt preferring to kill any chance of football being sustained at Treyew so that it can be developed.

somersetspur Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Didnt expect to much enthusiasm on here,because some are just waiting for it to all wrong. But the fans and people of Truro,and supporters all around the country have fought hard to save the Club. For the time being,we were successful. The way I see it now is. Local buisnessmen are involved,we have the Fans Trust and TISA,that will back the Club 110%. This could work. Next home game,next Saturday v Sutton. What will the crowd be for the new start. We will have a indication then on how things might go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real surprise though as I think we all knew it was just a matter of time. It's amazing how many clubs, more so their supporters, that have given their help have in fact suffered the same fate in the past. Disappointing, but still amazing! However football has always bucked the trend of "normal" businesses who once bust, invariably stay bust. So what next then somersetspur? Have to agree with you that the priority has to be the coming together of the Fans Trust and TISA, but also as importantly, all other supporters of Truro City as well - and quickly. Since in administration there have been home games where I have been disappointed with the attendances. When the chips have been really down, the numbers haven't turned out - why? And more importantly without higher attendances, immediately any viable trading concern suggestion starts to be questionable. Two local guys have come forward at the last moment to keep hope alive, no doubt there are more out. The "Heaney Factor", no matter how difficult has to be quashed. Talking has to be done, the sharing of ideas must happen, however more importantly action has to start now. Have the Fans Trust and TISA got together to agree on anything yet?

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 The real test of crowd numbers is when they play in the evenings, and no other club is.

Many were saying how the club needed to be saved and how Truro needed a football club . Well now is their chance to back actions with words , the Heaney factor ( and any grudges from the past have gone) so it is now the time tor "use it , or lose it ," A population of over 17,000 in Cornwall's most prosperous town should be able to drum up enough interest and backing to keep the club going .

As you say,a City of 17,000 plus others from the County,should be able to reach that target. I know all the volunteers that have been working their butts off,are prepared to continue their services,that has to be a positive.Along with the Supporters Trust. With the big supporters meeting tomorrow,more light will be shed on future plans.TOGETHER. Im not saying,everything is good. There are lots of hurdles to get over.

falfootie Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 As one of those who always thought Heaney was an obnoxious little gobshite (he and Mr Truro City reminded me of Ray Allan & Lord Charles, for you oldies), and being a Falmouth supporter, I quite revelled in the trials and tribulations of Truro over the past 12 months or so. However, over the past couple of months I've changed my point of view and don't mind admitting it. I have been so impressed with the way Lee Hodges, Jake Ash and the players have conducted themselves throughout this appalling fiasco. Admiration also for the many 'true' Truro supporters that have rallied together to try and help the club pull through. I hope that the last has been seen of the old regime but fear that Heaney still pulls the strings with regard to Treyew Road. I'm pleased that the bond has been forthcoming and the local businessmen have ensured Conference football can continue for now. Hopefully, the people of Truro (and other local football supporters) will turn up and watch the team (playing in red & black?) - who knows, I might even break the habit of a lifetime and go and watch them myself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
