GRTourist Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 West Cornwall football fans - I'm after a match recommendation. I'm coming down to Cornwall for my honeymoon, and fully intend on catching one of the midweek matches while I'm there. The two options I've narrowed it down to are: Porthleven vs Mousehole Helston vs Wendron Which game gets the nod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading a lot on here that Helston would be favourites for the title? I haven't seen a match west of Saltash since I was playing Duchy League over a decade ago, so my knowledge is somewhat rusty!

Myself I would fancy the Helston game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had actually written "we" initially but didn't want it to read like my fiancee was also desperately seeking advice on SWPL fixtures 😂 I'm quite lucky that she likes football - even managed to enjoy herself at Elburton Villa vs St Austell last season! 7 hours ago, Blues Chairman said: We'd love to see you at Helston.

Del Boy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I think you will see a better brand of football @mousehole but I’m bias. I’m sure Helston game will also be very entertaining as previously mentioned I think you will get goals in either game. Ps enjoy your honeymoon.

Nothing from the Porthleven Chairman yet about two half’s of Tribute and a pasty. Go on, you could yet win over hearts and minds!

SteveM Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 17 hours ago, Del Boy said: I think you will see a better brand of football @mousehole but I’m bias. Pedantic peeve of mine. Bias is a noun indicating prejudice toward or against some object, person or group. Are you a noun indicating prejudice or are you a person who is biased towards or against a brand of football? See also "you're so tan". As for match recommendations, I agree with Del Boy: you should watch Porthleven vs Mousehole. I think you'll see a more competitive, technically accomplished game of football, plus you can enjoy a stroll around Porthleven with your new wife before the game. I don't think anyone would enjoy a stroll around Helston. GRTourist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm perfectly capable of copy, paste and web searches, but in this case I'm simply applying the lessons that I was taught in school and being a grammar pedant.

I don't think anyone would enjoy a stroll around Helston. A stroll around Helston could include the lake at Coronation park to see the swans, ducks and geese, followed by a look round the museum which is more interesting than you might imagiine. There's also a nice little cafe that has vegan options if you are so inclined..........and the "Spoons" of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
