Dave Deacon Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 What the heck is going on? “there are concerns over where the money it is due to put towards the stadium might be coming from. The club's contribution is coming from the sale and redevelopment of its ground at Treyew Road in Truro with a new Lidl store expected to move in as part of a new retail park” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We have had an idea for a while that TCFC would pull out.We have a Plan B,for the missing £2 million,the S4C will go ahead." No wonder there is a meeting. Are TCFC coming back to Treyew Rd. If not,where the hell are they going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 So is it because Lidl are now not coming or what? Did Truro City also think this might happen and that is why they haven’t really been evicted yet and this is why the pitch would still appear to be looked after? Dickie Evans would have been better off putting his own money into a stadium years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that Mr Evans offered to cover losses for the first 10 years, then it would fall on the ratepayer!

cornishteddyboy Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Rumour down West is that the chap from "Flyingtogether" and the Kiwi putting the money into the Pirates may be the solution. Watch this space for "The Cornish Tigers" You will have "The Cornish Pirates", AND "The Cornish Tigers" AND "The Cornish Sharks" American football team there so it is used for sport all year round.

Outsider Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I wonder how the Cornwall Council contribution stands now that the circumstances on which it was based have changed.

I would imagine it’s still on in as much as he refers to the government’s input and wasn’t that to go hand in hand with the CC’s contribution : “In addition the contribution from the Government is due to be confirmed in the budget and we are liaising with the powers that be and supplying all information required by them.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Odgers Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 It is becoming more and more The Stadium for Pirates . To maintain running costs for 365 days a year i guess the rental /hire out fees would be too excessive for local sports clubs to find..... Bear in mind the Pirates only play 11 Home games this season and will there be Truro City at National level in two seasons time ?

Mark Jones Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Sorry I’ve just skimmed the thread so not fully up on things. How will it work ? Truro City don’t find the 2m. But the pirates said they would accommodate Truro at a later date ?? So say the stadium is now built and a few years later Truro now want to play there. Would they have bypassed having to pay their 2m if the stadium is all built ? And just then have their rent to pay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 We all have our own ideas and views on the past and what went on. However, surely it is time to move on, find out as best one can what is the immediate situation and then for everyone to work together to come to the most practical and sustainable future. Be that either dropping down appropriate number of levels; or everyone working together openly and honestly to ensure the present situation is at least maintained; or welcoming in angels from the west to steady the ship with investment and ideas to build the future of the club. It’s a shame there’s not going to be anyone from Helical there tomorrow night. They also have a lot of questions to answer! (Apologies if they are attending.)
