Devils@Dusk Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 So no one heard the comment on Radio Cornwall in the last few minutes of the game then? It's not an exact quote, but, "Could this be the last football game we see here at Treyew Road..." Make of it what you will, but I don't trust our new owners. It's like my Uncle said (when he found out that Pirates had bought City), "What's in it for Dicky Evans?" (sans the Stadium). It's ironic really. Pirates are known for plundering, and if certain "rumours" are to be believed, the Cornish Pirates will be doing the same thing to Truro City. (Sorry - I'm a very untrusting person. After all of this stuff with Masters, I trust this lot even less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Deacon Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Loads of things said around the match yesterday! The Pirates are to play at Treyew next season with the football at Penzance! Caretaker manager Paul Wilkinson is interested enough in the job permanent that would move down this way to take it! Lee Hodges and Chris Todd are willing to make a return! The Pirates hierarchy feel that there’s no difference between a Rugby supporter and a football supporter! The deal to sign over the club to the Pirates hasn’t actually happened yet (this was also confirmed on the radio) When it does happen, the club will be run by “football people” and the budget will be more than this season! There is to be an under-19 team next season - although unsure as to what competition it will play in! And so it begins.... Whatever, let’s hope serious preparation for next season has already started because it hit home listening to the Slough management pair after the game talking about most of the players have already agreed things for next season; season tickets are already on a sale and it’s obvious they are already well on their way to building for next season! We certainly don’t want the same as last season with an abysmal start both on and off the pitch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mead Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I have obvious concerns about the possibility of Truro City playing home games just 100 yards from Penlee Park! However, my understanding of the regulations is that any required facility improvements have to be in place by the end of last month (March); the Mennaye ground is not currently compliant for either Step 2 or 3 FA competitions and would need considerable changes/additions to get it to an acceptable standard. We will see what transpires! Devils@Dusk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvon Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 No one will ever know City Fan it's all in the past now. On the brighter side The Bristol Meat Machine will be trading at the the ground on Fridays until further notice and by the size of the queues they are doing very well, a good source of income for the club during the close season. So it's chop chop and let's get this show back on the road and let's hope there are no more misteaks from the new management team and we should be able to make mincemeat of all the opposition in the Southern League next season. mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOUNTAINEER Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 RAYVON - As a club Truro City should (if offered) accept it's earned reprieve from relegation, those teams you forecast as turning to mincemeat could see years of sorrow for Truro City lagging in the Southern League or below, maybe never again to sample National League football. Enough of your bravado defeatist talk. THE ONLY WAY IS UP. We must get rid of last years failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Pethick Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Slightly off topic (way off in fact), but what about Steve Massey returning to Truro City not as manager, but in a director of football type role? Looks like Paul Wilkinson is the favourite for the manager job next season, but think that Mr Massey would make sense in a DOF role. This would act as a bridge between the Cornish Pirate owners (and also counter the talk of them not being football people), while also using his experience, passion and contacts to rebuild the footballing infrastructure of the club with regards to youth and women's football. This would be along the lines of what he has developed at Helston. Heard an interview with him on the Cornwall Football Podcast a while ago where he bemoaned the lack of this at Truro. Would be interesting to hear other's thoughts. Rayvon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOUNTAINEER Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Maybe TOMORROW Truro City's plans will change and their place in the Conference South restored. Wednesday is the deadline for Gateshead, most if not all supporters fear their meeting with the National League will signal the end for them and the creation of a breakaway Gateshead club playing in the lower leagues. In those circumstances Aldershot would escape relegation and their NLS slot would under league rules have to be offered to Truro City being the club amongst the relegated teams with the best record, surely this offer if forthcoming will demonstrate the ambition of the new Truro City owners. Interesting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
