Dave Deacon Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 What a surprise to read this announcement via Sunday Independent twitter :- “Truro City have announced that contracts have been exchanged for the sale of the club, which is now subject to The National League approval. On the news, former joint-owners Peter Masters and Philip Perryman say ‘this is a positive move for Truro City and the new owners are committed to taking the club, at its current level, in the National League.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerow Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 This will surprise no one. Amount of flak these guys were getting on this forum. But they knew they could not take Truro FC further. Perhaps it needed fresh ideas to push the Club along. It will be interesting to read supporters views on this news.

Nothing compared to what went on elsewhere! The current owners have been hoping to sell for a while and so let's hope it all moves on with them receiving what they want, and the club benefitting as well.

TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Can't believe somebody has actually paid for a headache! I assume the price paid was the obligatory £1 as all the dosh that could've been made out of TCFC has been made. Unless of course there is a bit of land going somewhere?

Chris Davey Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 £5 admission is good news and hopefully a decent sized crowd turn up.

Still joined in our 5 a sides at training and ran rings around us at times!! Remember scoring a last minute winner up St.Blazey and Rex did a full on somersault!!
