Southwest football fan Posted October 10, 2021 Report Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'd put the stadium on hold. You're getting more people watching teams in peninsula and western league than truro at bolithio, give them their due it's a couple hours from home, but having a measly 100 watching is pretty embarrassing for a club at that level, and like I said seeing teams in a lower league get better attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Trust Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 On 05/10/2021 at 12:02, The Town Man said: It is a sad situation for a city the size of Truro to not have a local football team and, let's be honest, no realistic prospect of one in the near future as things stand. If I was a Truro fan of long-standing, I would be very upset with the turn of events over the past few years. Mind you they did win the FA Vase which was the Holy Grail of all Cornish clubs over the last 30 years.....but at what cost? I'd say, at the cost of eventually losing Treyew Road, which could have been developed into a brilliant little stadium for even EFL football. But we all know how it happened and whose fault it is.

Mike Odgers Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 On 05/10/2021 at 12:14, Mike Odgers said: I hear this morning that The Isles of Scilly Steamship company have put in a request from the "levelling up fund" for three new ships which are near in need of replacing-The Scillonian and the Cargo vessel and the Inter Island boat.-COST £48 million-this could jeopardise the the pecking order of importance from the Government fund. Surely the Cornwall County Council could set up a football ground for Truro in their housing project but the thought of a Stadium to operate and sustain for 365 days a year is never going to be viable-Conference centre-Music festivals and local sports clubs paying big hire fees etc are not a regular desire for a rural County. Todays Budget news-The Isles of Scilly Steamshipo Co, have funding for the replacement ships-but no mention of the Stadium-can anyone clarify the prospects?

It is just a field, albeit a very large one and in very good condition - and very picturesque too.

Ron Ratchford Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Truro City 1st 11 have never had any plan to move into Tregye, that is nonsense. The ground at Tregye has been vastly upgraded , including a hospitality building, more parking, a hard surface pathway around the pitch, a stand moved up from Treyew Rd etc. This is in preparation for the lads moving up the leagues. The Truro Reserves will be ground sharing with Perranwell 1sts, the same as last year. I wish contributors to this page would check their facts, instead of competing to submit the most far reached nonsense they can about the future of TCFC. I do not expect any major announcements regarding the home venue to be made until the ownership question is resolved.

As stated by other forum contributors, it would be good if something/,anything came from the club. A complete vacuum of information allows speculation to thrive. To my mind, Truro have made three excellent signings this summer (with more to come I would think)as well as retaining the bullk of the present squad and management, they must have been given assurances on the club's plans before committing.

That is where the home ground for the 1st team will be. Thank you. That's an interesting statement. It suggests one of three things to me (with a degree of overlap); none of which are necessarily bad. No judgement being passed: 1. The prospective new owners, entirely of their own volition, have it in mind to continue running Truro City in the manner to which it has become accustomed over the past fifteen years: aspiring to play towards the top end of the pyramid with the objective of playing at a new ground. This indicates reasonable money at their disposal to make things work in the first place (any public money for the stadium being clearly ring-fenced - which it must be - to prevent it being used for any other purpose). 2. The Pirates, or somebody associated with them, has been marketing (possibly on a national basis) club-and-new ground as part of a "package". A kind of "for sale with planning permission" deal. 3. Signing up for Langarth may be a condition of any deal going ahead. No agreement; no deal (with a clear "what if...?" hanging in the air over that one) Ron Ratchford, Ian Pethick and Town Fan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy of the Rovers Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Dave You do the Romans a great disservice. It took them about 7.5 years to build the Coliseum in Rome. Which at 50,000 seats was a significantly bigger project than the Stadium for Cornwall. I am thinking the saga regarding a new home for Truro has been going on a lot longer than that, and not a single brick laid yet. Their half time pasties were apparently pretty crap though, although the wine in the bars quite excellent.
