Piran Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 We're mindful that many Truro City supporters will not be making the trek to Torquay tomorrow, for whatever reason, and so we'll going to try and extend our coverage and provide live updates during the afternoon. We're hoping to experiment with YouTube Live tomorrow, (depending on wi-fi and quality of my iPhone) of the game against Welling United. We'll be reporting at @ 2.30pm, half time and at the end of the game. If you are a Piran Films You Tube subscriber be sure to tap the grey bell for an alert. If you miss it live, they should be available straight afterwards. The last time I filmed the fixture - at Treyew Rd obviously - teenagers Cody Cook and Jordan Coop featured. I am hoping for a better result and performance tomorrow at Torquay. Here's the video from March 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somersetspur Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 H.T. Losing 0-1. Reports are ,its not great from a TCFC point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somersetspur Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Injury time equalizer,earns TCFC a 2-2 draw. Still ,no wins. And this is a strange coincidence.Crowd 159,exactly the same as the last game at Torquay. Maybe Pete likes 159. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted August 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 That attendance of 159 is really pathetic for NLS Level 2 isn’t it! Step 6 Exmouth v Torpoint had 165 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the long run what it might have cost to improve a ground in Cornwall might have worked out as economic as what the probable loss in income is currently on every "home" game.

I was only thinking that very point ,when I seen the crowd today. With TCFC having a poor start and a difficult season lying ahead,cant see crowds getting any better. So I was wondering,what sort of crowds would the Club be getting if they upgraded Bodmins ground. There were 13,on the Official transport.I think more would go to Bodmin,and with the Torquay public not supporting the idea.How many would Truro have got from around the Bodmin area. I think TCFC would get 300-400.so as you say in the long run,could it be a huge error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Martin Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I don't know how they count it but I was at the match and I would say there were a lot more than 159. They didn't give me a ticket when I paid to get in so how do they count it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Martin Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Thanks for your added wise words. In the past I did the turnstiles at truro. We had consecutively numbered tickets of which one was issued to each person who came in. The number at the start and finish was recorded and a simple addition gave you an accurate figure for the attendance. Rather than knock the attendance figures now I would like to give credit to the fans who do go all that.way to support their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanfare Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Probably too early to tell but how have local attendances been affected by this crazy situation. Today while Truro were playing at home in Torquay, Falmouth were at home to Ivybridge. Was there any significant change on the average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm there were , would be truro supporters at bickland park being entertained by an exciting skillful eager cornish based Falmouth team .To there credit Ivybridge werent bad either .We would welcome any Truro Exiles including the legendary Rayvon to our next game at home on wednesday evening to Bodmin Town .Always a feisty and sometimes controversial game . So come on down the futures bright the futures black and amber .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, why would they be !?! Not on their radar! Truro City must be losing money hand over fist, making no money on the gate ( most support is from Torquay season ticket holders who can get in for a fiver!) That novelty will soon wear thin in the winter months. Would their Car park attendant, turnstile operator, stewards, catering cabin etc be included in the sum Truro paid to Torquay or do they need to find this revenue on top of their initial sum to rent the pitch?

Me and my lad went on the bus for the first game and enjoyed the experience of a decent ground if not our football. And with so many new players and being so far away have lost some of the affiliation to the club. We will not be going back any time soon due to the time taken and entertainment on offer. Also heard the away fans have no refreshment at their end which I thought was awful, blazing hot day and no drink, in the winter freezing and no hot drink or food, I doubt they are aware of this before going in but are charged the same, pretty poor show. it’s due to crowd segregation which they have to abide by the Torquay stewards told me.
