Maybe I'm reading into this too much. But, with the way things are going with the S4C, I wouldn't be surprised if this did become City's new home.

Ron Ratchford Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 TCFC 11st team will be returning toTruro, at the new ground in Langarth. The Reserves will play at Tregye, hopefully it will be developed to a level where they can initially play in the SW Peninsula. Thats it in a nutshell.

Work to start at Langarth on a football ground for Truro in January 2022 I would suggest! Tregye plans are to help with SWPL Step 6 achievement.

Nobody outside of TCFC/Pirates knows for sure. Speculation is filling the vacuum that is left by the lack of official communication.

Martin Eddy Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Did hear that they want to put the stands from their old ground up at Tregye and there is room there to do that. Would be good for Cornish football to have another improved facility. Be good for the younger generation coming through to have more pitches with better general structures.

Ron Ratchford Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 The upgrade has commenced with the carpark enlargement. Ongoing improvements will follow, as the TCFC volunteers recover from the festivities. TheolderIgetthebetterIwas and Devils@Dusk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately though, Truro City, in reality, are a million miles away from being the top club in Cornwall. They might be in terms of the league they play in. To be honest, they probably will be for some time yet. But in terms of everything else, they are nowhere near being the top club. Unfortunately, it's their nearest rivals that are out trumping them. Not a good look at all for the club! Devils@Dusk, Tommy Matthews and mattelot 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ratchford Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 My opinion only is that we will be at Parkway for another season, as we have that option in place. As It will be a grass pitch in Truro, I think that is the wisest call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Grass? So this is for the TCFC pitch at Langarth rather than the Stadium for Cornwall? The S4C proposed surface is all-weather isn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Ratchford Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 My personal opinion only is that the money promised by David Cameron will not be honoured by our present PM. However the relocation settlement from the Developers of Treyew Rd (held by the Council) and the fact that Cornwall Council has expressed its wish that Truro has its football club back gives me my optimism. The fact that ground work has commenced at Langarth is also an important step forward. As an Australian living in Truro I always look on the bright side.

The S4C proposed surface is all-weather isn’t it? Be interesting to hear what form this new development is going to take. Is it going to be the facility that was originally envisaged, or temporary stands initially with permanent structures to follow? Nothing coming out of Truro City or Pirates, so inevitable that rumour and half stories will fill the gap. Would have thought that news of work finally commencing would have been all over their respective social media sites. Even if it is now all systems go, would have thought that the 18 months or so until the start of the 2023/24 season is an extremely tight time frame to build a step 3 ground and pitch from nothing.

An artificial pitch would fit the original vision of City and the Pirates ground sharing, as well as having the reserves, women and age group sides using it.

I can't see the current government providing any money towards the project. If they were going to do so, you'd like to think it would've been done by now. I'm hoping Truro come back to Cornwall ASAP. However, we must also be realistic about how much this is all going to cost. And let's be honest, where is that money at the moment? From what we know so far, there isn't enough!

With my sceptical head on, the lack of any news/ballyhoo surrounding the first shovel being stuck in the ground, probably means that nothing has happened. Prepared to be proved wrong on this though. Before I get a pile on from certain voices, I think a Stadium For Cornwall (or whatever it is called) would be a wonderful thing for City, the Cornish Pirates and the county as a whole. I have previously expressed this on this forum. Thecupfootballblogger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Seems to me best thing that Truro City for next season Is bring the Cannon Downs ground up to Western League standard drop Truro down a couple of leagues That way they will be playing near the City .also they will be playing teams like Helston and Mousehole Because playing at Torquay and Plymouth is never going to work Nobody is going to travel 140 miles round trip on a Saturday or Tuesday night to watch football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pethick Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Heard from my man on the ground in the Plymouth area that there has been a lot of rain again next week, and he thinks that the pitch is very doubtful for Saturday. Could be a case of, Truro v Wimborne gets called off on Saturday and Parkway v Barnstaple has a chance of going ahead on Tuesday. Or play it, and Bolitho Park is wrecked for a few weeks. Bit of a dilemma. Seems to me like things are going to come to a head soon regarding the groundshare arrangement, and where City play next season. Once again, it would be great if someone from City or The Pirates broke cover and told people what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would guess that there are deadlines for resigning from the Southern League, and potentially fines for missing this. Assume as well that Carnon Downs would need a visit from the ground graders, and would think that time is now very short to arrange this (would they also be happy to just look at plans, and set deadlines for this work to be done).

sportsman10 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 There looks like more rain tomorrow then 3-4 days if dry weather No chance Truro game will be on Saturday would imagine parkways will be touch and go for next Tuesday Not sure what the option is if it gets desperate.

Still a little bit of slack in the calendar to rearrange games, but many more cancellations would make it very difficult to fit them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Man Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 I would think that Cornwall Council will be able to give Truro City the money to build a new ground from the proceeds of selling off the land that the Ships and Castles pool on Pendennis headland sits on.
