cornishrambler Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Cornwall FA decide to charge more than Truro City FC.... Good luck getting a decent attendance on Easter Monday down there ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvon Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Nothing against Helston Athletic FC whatsoever but seems a ridiculous venue considering the geographical location of the two finalists. I personally think that the Cornwall FA or whoever is responsible for the choice will be the ones to miss out financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobjfh Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Couple of thing raised here - I think the venue is chosen from Clubs who put themselves forward for the final and therefore the 'choice' is somewhat limited, especially when several clubs have to be ignored at the time of choosing (I think the venue was probably agreed before the semis in late March). It tends to be Helston, Wedron, St Blazey, Newquay and St Austell who put themselves up for County fixtures - and Helston have helped the CCFA out with fixtures for the County Youth this season - with no entry fee, so perhaps some consideration may have been made for their help. Entry to any SWPL Prem game is £5, so charging £6 for a cup final against the two (currently) strongest teams in Cornwall can't be to bad - the fact that Truro City have had to halve their entry fee to try and generate ANY support in a match against a high flying team, says more about Truo City's lack of ability to get supporters, rather than anything about the Senior Cup.. I have no affiliation, at all, with Helston FC, however I would recommend making the trip. Great facilities / bar / food and always a friendly club to visit.

cornishrambler Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 More than likely Dave, however do you not think maybe this should be reconsidered in light of the decision. also given the current 'twentys plenty' campaign for away fixtures at the top leveldo you not see £5 for a step 10 game more than enough.

No. The premier league could let everyone in for free and still make money, each £5 for the SWPL goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Saltash hosted a final between Bodmin and Helston Penzance hosted a final between Falmouth and Liskeard Last time Bodmin and Saltash met in the final, it was played at Newquay This is Helston's first time holding the final so good luck to everyone involved.

secretscout Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I would be of the impression that quite a lot of clubs offer to host the semi finals and finals each season and why wouldn't every club want to host a big event. It must be frustrating for nost clubs who apply that never get to host anything each year because the same handful get selected each year. Bodmin, St Blazey, Saltash, Wadebridge, Truro, Liskeard. What about other clubs that have made great strides in recent seasons to improve their facilities like, Torpoint, St Dennis, Callington, Wendron. Its greta that Helston get an opportunity this year having put in so much effort over the last few years, however, given the finalists, it may have been a shrewder decision to select somewhere a bit more central. Similarly it was mentioned to me this morning that the other cup final between Exmouth and St Austell is to be held at Crediton, well done to them for getting the final, but again, surely the location could be slightly more central to both sides, somewhere like Parkway, or even Home Park dare i say it? Either way, good luck to all teams in both finals! It's great to see 4 different teams across both finals, when was the last time that happened?

Clubs need to have floodlights to host the Senior Cup semi finals. Although for the final St Dennis and/or Wendron could host it as Hayle had the honour in 2011.

Mike Odgers Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Question for "Willow" I was told that one Easter Monday CS Cup Final was postponed due to the weather for the first time In the 1990's-is that so? St.Dennis at Home and Truro City at Home on Easter Monday-It would never have been allowed (CCFA) in the old days .LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at St Austell and played on a Monday (23rd April). I'd have to check my paperwork to confirm this. 2 hours ago, Soccer Follower said: Was it 1999-2000 season at Newquay?

No, because Callington Town played Mawnan in the earlier Junior Cup final, and I think Portleven played in the later Senior Cup final. It was atrocious weather, rain, and a very strong wind blowing, so much so that at the clubhouse end when Callington took a goal kick, the wind picked the ball up and carried it back over the line for a corner several times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with making the final equidistant from the two finalist teams is that the clubs down the pointed end would never get to host a so-called big final because the big guns are usually in the east of the county so the same grounds would be used all the time.
