St Darren Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 As long as the building of it isn't done by using public money then no problem. Infact, I think it will pass planning but its the funding where the problems could come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldeneye Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 If planning permision is given I'm sure it will 'unlock' further funding streams. Never really understood why public money shouldn't be used for a scheme that the public benefits from! Nothing that public money is spent on has 100% backing from the public!

Guest Monty Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I dont think Threemilestone is the correct place to build it, but it would have to be close to Truro college as they will stump up some of the cash to build it? 100% of me thinks that it will never happen because alot of members of the public cannot and wont see or listen to the bigger picture.

Your right lee mate!I don't mind public money being used as long as some of the facilities will be available for local communities which sounds like they will be and as a multi purpose stadium could attract some top level entertainers to Cornwall for shows and or concerts!

Goldeneye Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 What's the conditions? Nothing special as far as I know Darren, probably normal stuff like sewage, access, parking, time in which it must be started etc. I don't think there's a condition stopping Liverpool supporters entering the stadium!

hammers Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 In these times of economic meltdown how the hell can anyone reasonable person suggest public funds be used?I agree with you chairman,no public funds also this is tipical Cornwall Council, the A 390 is already a jam up every day, by the time they Build the shops & Houses at the Park & ride Ruondabout Threemilestone, the Maiden Green farm & the old Richard Lander School the road wil become just Like the M25 gridlocked for most of the day, those of us who have try & get out onto the A390 or to travel along it know only to well how bad it is now, & the Council have no plans on how to overcome the extra Traffic problems that will be caused by all of these proposed Building plansIf the Pirates want a new STADIUM, find somwhere nearer to Penzance.Hammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 How much public money was used for the EDEN Project and the TATE Gallery? Too much and they're still asking for more - add on hall for Cornwall and Ships and castles in Falmouth to that list, a lot more besides. Plus grants to all and sundry - wheel out " for the community and you will get it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Same old nonsense being spouted by the pro-stadium brigade. If the Cornish Pirates or Cornwall RFU want or need a stadium, then let them pay for it. Neither Truro City or Cornwall FA need a stadium, both are far too small to warrant one of more than 2,000 capacity and most SWPL grounds can already accommodate that amount. Eden Project and Tate Gallery are tourist attractions that combined see over 1.5m visitors a year and are of benefit to the county as a whole. S4C would not see 1.5m fans in 100 years and would be a drain on the public purse. There is no argument for public funds to be wasted on S4C, Cornwall Council is already upto our necks in debt, staff are being sacked, services are being cut, money tight. If the Cornish Pirates, who seem to be more in need of S4C than anyone, actually want to cough up, then great, build away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Hoop Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Redundancies at Eden I think you forgot,an awful lot of public money went to a well off businessman who has made millions out of public money .What happens when things get tight for his buisness?he asks for more!Bring on the state of the art community facility !

Piran Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Why should Cornwall remain a backwater - a third world county when it comes to stadia? Is there another county in the country, apart from Rutland, which doesn't have a stadium which can cater for a minimum of 10,000 spectators? We need to look to the future - to our grandchildren's future and be bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 hell yeah, lets knock one up just cos we're the last county not to have one. Lets have a massive theme park as well cos Flambards isn't big enough and there's Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures in other areas.Don't think we have a prison anymore either, lets create one of those, after all, Devon has one.Create things by all means if you need it, but not just for the sake of it, and certainly not with tax payers money.

MOUNTAINEER Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have always been against a S4C but in favour of a 6000 max capacity Stadium for Truro City built by Truro City when finance is available, constructed with community facilities located under the terracing, in the meantime TCFC need to have a plan B. The other day I thought I would attend a London Wasps Premiership rugby game, they play just a mile from my home, I soon changed my mind when I saw the prices ranged from £16.50 standing behind the goal to near where I prefer to sit at £56.50. I decided to watch it at home on SKY or maybe it was ESPN. how many Exeter Chiefs fans will pay those prices when they visit Adams Park later this month. There are no concessions for OAP's.

isaac rosenberg Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sounds good to me, Mauler.....Vidal was just canvassing me for the job on Tuesday night. Glad to see that the spirit of all the groundwork I put in at Truro College raising the money that funded the meteroric rise of the Tinners is still alive and kicking ! Moreover, one of the earliest winners of the college's Fantasy Football League is now Director of Quality ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
