Rayvon Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 It's the Emirates FA Cup draw tomorrow, City not expected to get to the first round this time around but always nice to visit new grounds and make new friends.

Glad to hear you are still following the White Tigers Dustin, it has certainly been a roller coaster ride since you first came on board. The cup tie is certainly winnable, Wimborne play in the same league as us and have not won any of there first five games but as we all know this is a cup game so nothing should be taken for granted.

Xembla II Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm trying to keep up! The changes have been coming fast and furious these past several years, it seems, and as I have no social media presence, sometimes weeks at a time go by without news, so I've rejoined this board, and I'm resetting. I presume the squad isn't really large enough for a lot of rotation, so it might be a chance for them to feel a different pressure and get their mojo back.

Rayvon Posted September 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 City progress into the next round of the Emirates FA Cup after a close encounter against Wimborne Town at Treyew Road this afternoon. Will Dean scored for City in the first half, after an equaliser from the Magpies substitute Stewart Yetton scored the winner on the hour mark. There was late drama with James Hammond the City keeper saving a penalty in injury time. Oh and a nice little £4.500 to go into the Pirates kitty.

Graham Martin Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 The best team won but it could have been oh so different! City's 2nd goal was a goalkeeping howler leaving Yetton to walk the ball into the net for his 230th goal for City. Wimborne appeared to have scored a second goal - originally given by the Ref only to be ruled out after consultation with the linesman for a handball. Then Hamons wonderful last minute penalty save to deny Wimborne the chance of a replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Lawrence Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 If I'm not mistaken the disallowed Wimborne goal may have been for an "offside" offence in the build up-indicated at the restart by the raised arm of the referee?

Graham Martin Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 You are probably correct. I was at the far end of the ground and I and some others around me thought there was a handball in the build up but it was too far away for my 'old' eyes to see clearly.

RAPPO Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Haha cheers Nige! 😂. I’m on 2005 competitive goals, my 2 for the vets yesterday don’t count! Scored 455 in the old SWL, plus Vase, FaCup, SWL Cup, Senior and charity cups so could say about 600 at a decent standard of football. The rest are Spread around Combo league, Sunday league, Junior footy and vets mainly really. To be honest the memory ain’t what it was but still remember most of those special ones!? Was pretty crap at subbuteo from what I remember but was class at striker when you used to have to press their heads down!! 👍⚽️ Got to be honest I think Yettsy is the best natural finisher I’ve seen playing football in this county. To get that many for one club at all the different levels he’s played at for the club promotion after promotion deserves great recognition!! Top bloke as well, well done Yettsy 👏🏼👊🏼👍⚽️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAPPO Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yeah was just talking about the best striker I’d seen in Cornish football Leeds. Quite agree to do it in the football league is a totally different achievement altogether. Think Tony scored about 170 for Exeter, Argyle and Blackpool and Mass has scored almost 100 as well, my old mate Gritts scored around 70 and could think of a few others over the years, was lucky to have played with Gary Bannister at the end of his career, still absolute class, think Banno scored close to 200 in league football!!

What ever the sucess Truro have had, theres always seems to be some political nonsence going on and fans being pushed away. A very odd club sometimes.

Rayvon Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 No political nonsense going on at Truro City at the moment Paul, with the formation of the Supporters Trust all supporters are singing from the same hymn sheet. I think the main reason for the poor away support is that fans just cannot afford to cough up there hard earned money week after week. It's ok for the likes of say Falmouth Town taking 40 or 50 supporters to an away game they don't have to leave home tiil midday and can be home again by seven. Supporting City can often mean leaving home at 6 or 7 in the morning and often getting home 11 or 12 at night, and midweek games I can remember getting home at 3 in the morning and then getting up again 4 hours later to go to work. I hope this is a good case for the defence. No other Cornish team can imagine the time and expense involved supporting a National or Southern League side. Perhaps someone who regularly supports a league side can appreciate where I am coming from. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I certainly can. I was at Crawley on Tuesday night. Got home at 4am. Back work for 10. Its a long old day. What surprised me was that even though Truro have played at Hereford, its got to be one of the biggest grounds theyve played at except Wembley and the Valley. Its the F.A cup.

Based on this season Pirates have 14 Home games and will need Truro's fixtures to keep it alive-There again the Council have great optimism with our tax money to make it viable with Pop Concerts and Conferences to cover the other 300 odd days.

Not at all Raymond, infact I admire the steps Truro have taken to attempt to move on up the League's. However I said it 10 years ago & stand by it now, Cornwall isn't a footballing hotbed, I can see Truro's pinnacle in terms of the highest they can compete at is the league they are in now. The support is terrible, there isn't enough people to generate enough income through the turnstile each week to sustain top level/professional football down here. Taking 17 fans away to Hereford in a Fa.Cup fixture is laughable ! It's not just Truro, no Cornish club could reach the heights Truro have said they'd reach. As for the Stadium .. I think the delay tells its own story .. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 The move up the league's was built on a false foundation which still applies today. One man pulled the borrowed money and TCFC were nearly gone, saved by others who also made their money from Truro's situation. A similar situation still exists today, only this time the aim is to achieve the stadium, although this time the person has some real money...not borrowed/loaned. TCFC could fold in the blink of an eye on the whims of others, and could have done so many times in their rise up the pyramid. The only stable time was when the developer was throwing in the £300k. Playing well above the level of financial stability and that will always be a cause for concern if I were them. I still think TCFC will eventually end up down Malpas unfortunately. But enjoy it while you can because you are not a cash cow anymore...nothing left to sell. Best of luck to them from me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Martin Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Leeds says Cornwall isn't a footballing hotbed. But once a fortnight thousands cross the Tamar to watch league football at Argyle. It shows there is a Cornish appetite for league matches.
