Hands like shovels Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Not necessarily one off game anything can happen ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persil Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 No doubt it will be between Liskeard, Bodmin, Wadebridge and St Blazey to host the semi's and final as per usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SON OF LINEKER Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I would hazard a guess at Liskeard and St Blazey for the Semi-Finals and Bodmin for the Final again. Makes sense geographically,but then we're dealing with football, so when did sense come into it ! ' Up The Town ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 St Blazey would be more than happy to host a semi final or the final. Why would anyone turn down the opportunity. A great occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pethick Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 What would people's opinion be for the Cornwall FA to announce the venue for finals days for the next two/three years in advance ( as per the Champions League). If a club reaches the final and it is played at their ground, then so be it. Billy Davies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One obvious reason would surely be the possibility of a venue chosen in say the far west of the county and two clubs from the very far east being in it. Unnecessary travelling for everyone!

Chance for smaller clubs like Sticker and Callington to be rewarded for spending time and money improving their grounds and facilities. Year or so to plan organisation and any extra entertainment on the day. Only a thought. middle mans mate, Billy Davies and Tommy Matthews 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I think you will find that a lot of clubs are asked to host these games but decline, so the usual suspects end up hosting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also quite lucrative when bar takings and food sales are taken into consideration. Of course. But clubs and committees must also consider how many home games they have left to play themselves, considering their groundsmen, postponements, etc. Difficult decision I imagine but their own teams would usually come before prestigious cup fixtures.

Guzzvaliant Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Definitely want to showcase your final (and semi)on the best playing surface and allow the players the best chance of playing the beautiful game and not have them play on some badly cut bobbly pitch with trenches, all over as I’ve witnessed. That is by no means meant to be a slight on the efforts of the magnificent volunteers all over that work so hard, more a reflection of what they have to work with to start with. Therefore for me the only neutral pitches I’ve seen so far (in my short time watching the boy in the Peninsular league) that are worthy of a final are Mousehole, Callington and St Blazey. Could Truro be asked for the final (whilst I’ve never been I assume their pitch would be good) or, controversially for a Cornwall Cup, Parkway?

The Town Man Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 All finals should be played on the "Wembley of the West" Bickland Park. There is no better ground for watching a match and retaining an atmosphere. Not very central but neither is Wembley!
