Dave Deacon Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Well despite the draw for the semi-finals apparantly taking place early this evening, there's still no definite news as to the official outcome. Earlier in the competition it has been posted on the CCFA website by now. Nothing as yet, in fact on the page featuring the previous round's results, it's a little concerning to still see the following : "Bodmin Town beat Torpoint Athletic (Score not officially confirmed)". What does this mean? So, if anyone is aware of the draw - let us all know please! The rumour had it that Truro have drawn Falmouth, but nothing as yet on the City Forum. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 That would be typical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 It would appear to be: Falmouth Town vs Truro City Bodmin Town vs Saltash United (at Liskeard Tue 26th) so I was told by a journalist, who was informed by a club official that a game has had to be cancelled because the CCFA wanted to use their pitch. Why the secrecy when a representative from one club knew on the night and nobody else did? Surely as a club secretary I should be informing the press of the draw, not the other way around!

r_and_l Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 should be a cracking game might even go to watch that one aslong as the pitch is local to both sides!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have heard that the semi final between truro and falmouth is at porthleven. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case why on earth is the game at gala park?? I thought that the nuetral ground for a cup game should be located between the two sides contesting the game, in this instance surely penryn would be a suitable venue??? I find it amazing how these cornish officials decide these venues. Is it a money spinning exercise or do the old fuddy duds genuinely believe that gala park is more of a central venue then penryn or maybe blazey??

Guest Postie Pidge Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 In the past Penryn, Porthleven, Penzance, Newquay, St Austell and St Blazey have all been chosen to host games between the two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil phillips Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 What is going on at the C.C.F.A.? As of this moment Falmouth Town have not been informed who or where we are playing in the Senior Cup. Everybody but us seems to know ie Truro's website, Cornish Soccer forum, a Western Morning News reporter( he was told by a Liskeard official). Nothing official is on the C.C.F.A. website so how do these people know??????????. Surely this is not right ? If the C.C.F.A. don't officially announce the draw on the night they make it they leave themselves wide open to justifiable criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Trust Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 On the question of using Gala Parc rather than Kernick Road for the Falmouth/Truro tie, I would guess that the decision was made in anticipation of a four-figure gate. Penryn have the finest playing surface in Cornwall without any doubt, but the ground's capacity can't be as much as Gala Parc's which has that huge bank opposite the stand, affording a much better view. Let's hope someone has the foresight to get that "Cornish Pig Farm" hot dog van in on the day, like Truro used for their last (really last!) Vase game and the St Blazey game. Yum! Yum! (The match should be tasty, too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Might go and watch the Truro v Falmouth semi. Should be a good game. As for the Burger van......they appear at a few more grounds tese days. one at Wadebridge last season and one at Parkway this season. Cant beat a good burger at the footy.

Nugget Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 On the subject of burger vans, hot dog vans etc at foootball ground, should clubs be promoting this type of fast food eating. Would it not be better to have some "healthy" food on offer for fans, rather than greasy stuff of unknown origin in some cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 How about a fair trade stool to keep you going Nugget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Trust Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Is a Fair Trade stool what you pass 24 hours after eating Fair Trade food? Er - the thread - Steve Massey would love to turn Truro over but it will be a real giant-killing act if it happens. The game might just attract a bigger gate than the final!

Paul Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Wouldnt be surprised. Bodmin and Saltash have very poor support away from their home ground. Could we see a crowd over 1000 for this one? Might be a bit of an ask. Could see 750 easily!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Don't know what time it went on, but now confirmed on the CCFA website :- Westinsure Cornwall Senior Cup The Semi-Finals Bodmin Town v Saltash United at Liskeard FC on Tuesday 26th February 2008 Falmouth Town v Truro City at Porthleven FC on Wednesday 27th February 2008 Kick-Off at 7.30pm with extra-time of fifteen minutes each way if necessary. If the scores are level at the end of extra-time, a replay will be held at the same ground one week later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 St Blazey would have been a good viewing ground to get such a good crowd in. Just maybe a bit to far for Falmouth.....although it aint that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Postie Pidge Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'd have been happy to go to St Blazey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cornish pasty Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Nugget Posted Yesterday, 09:49 PM On the subject of burger vans, hot dog vans etc at foootball ground, should clubs be promoting this type of fast food eating. Would it not be better to have some "healthy" food on offer for fans, rather than greasy stuff of unknown origin in some cases? the cornish pig company is not stuff of unknown origin. if you go to bissoe you can clearly see the pigs in the fields which go to make up some very very nice food. hope they are there for the semi-final.
